New research reveals to a large extent (and quite indicatively and convincingly) what happens in a man’s body and mind when it is a step before cheat his partner or wife. As the Eurek Alert typically states, this is the most comprehensive study to date of how infidelity is carried out first at a hormonal level and then πρά in practice, in a very interesting sequence of neurophysiological factors.
The main conclusion of the researchers is that testosterone affects the two sexes differently, with its levels appearing to be inextricably linked to the type of lovemaking and sexual behavior of both men and women.
The researchers of the School of Hygieneand Tropical Medicine in London, the University of Manchester and the National Center for Social Research in Britain, concluded that testosterone is what pushes men to have multiple partners, although this is not the case with women who have very high testosterone.
How testosterone works in men and women
The researchers, who published the journal The Journal of Sex Research, measured testosterone in saliva samples from nearly 4,000 people between the ages of 18 and 74 of both sexes. All of these individuals were then asked to answer a detailed questionnaire about their sexual expression.
According to the report, “testosterone was primarily considered the biological driving force behind male sexual desire, while its corresponding role in female sexuality has not been fully understood.” this new research sheds even a little more light on the most illuminated corners of human sexuality of both sexes.
According to the conclusions, the Men with higher hormone levels were more likely to have more than one sexual partner at the same time as another woman in the last five years., as well as to have more frequent heterosexual sexual intercourse. On the other hand, testosterone levels were significantly higher in women who either had sex with another woman or admitted to masturbating more alone.
Emotional infidelity is unforgivable
Infidelity is, of course, a permanent field of research for sexologists and psychologists. Two recent studies, one American and one Italian, have also come to some very interesting conclusions.
Scientists from Chapman University in California found that men try to overcome sexual infidelity, while women feel more hurt when they realize that their partner is emotionally involved and not sexually with another.
According to the results of their study, conducted on a sample of 63,000 people of both sexes, extramarital sex is unforgivable for 54% of men versus 35% of women, while emotional betrayal was the reason for separation for 65 % of women compared to 46% of men.
A few months later, the Italian website Incontri-ExtraConiugali.com decided to conduct its own research in relation to infidelity, asking 4,000 adult readers, men and women, to answer an online questionnaire.
So 65% of Italian men said they would not tolerate the physical infidelity of their partner compared to 48% of women. However, emotional infidelity was found unforgivable by 62% of women versus 32% of male participants.
According to the Italian survey, 43% of women and 65% of men admitted to having cheated on their partner at least once with the well-known and expected cause: the monotony of sex for 68% of women and 61% of men.
What is happening in Greece
Corresponding research has been done, of course, in our country as well. In the most recent of these, the 2017, according to research by T.of Psychology of Panteion University, It has been found that men believe twice as much as women who are in a permanent relationship, despite the fact that the rates of female infidelity appear inflated today compared to the past.
The survey was conducted from mid-2015 to late 2016 in a sample of 500 people, from Athens, aged 25-45, showed that men believe by 20%, while women almost in half.
However, young women under the age of 30 leave a relationship more easily when there is infidelity on either side, in unlike men 40+ years old who want everything their own, that is, the permanent partner / wife, but also an extramarital affair.
“This 20% of men mainly involve physical infidelity, which does not always have the same serious consequences for the permanent relationship, that is, it can disrupt it, but it does not necessarily lead to divorce. “On the contrary, 10% of women have more serious consequences, because women tend to believe more emotionally, so this is a catalyst for the relationship and can lead to separation more often.” Greek research concludes meaningfully, confirming, in essence, the above studies that claim that for a woman emotional betrayal is more unforgivable than a simple “horn”.
