According to science, women are more likely to cheat than men in a long-term relationship.
With more research and studies, science shows that women struggle with monogamy because they get bored in the bedroom. Women crave sexual variety.
While males may have higher levels of spontaneous desire, women take the lead for responsive or triggered desire.
“Spontaneous desire is when you suddenly think, ‘It would be nice to have sex’. It comes over you like hunger or thirst,” says Martin. “Responsive or triggered desire occurs when something suggests the idea of sex to you — you’re watching or reading something, or a partner initiates a sexual encounter — and you get turned on. For that type of desire, women’s libidos are every bit as strong as men’s. We’ve internalized this idea that men are the randier sex and that’s untrue.”
