Actually, stats say that the majority of both men (not a large majority!) and women DO NOT STRAY and that the % of infidelity is decreasing. That is good news, but people don't always tell the truth in these surveys so its is hard to say how accurate they are.
Does everyone cheat?

Everyone COULD!

I think one thing that's important to note is that they don't show the actual data in this link, and in the summary they seem to be including using a very broad definition of cheating that includes "emotional" infidelity as well as things like having a sexually explicit conversation with a stranger online. I'm not saying those things shouldn't be included, however, it's definitely something to keep in mind.
I've seen the actual study before and one thing it definitely DOESNT say is that everyone is having affairs. The levels vary, it's hard to tell how much actual betrayal is involved. And precisely how the respondents perceive both their actions and their responses within the study.

um, no. Never have, and I never will. I have felt what that was like, and it was horrendous for me. It was someone I love dearly and it hurt me in unimaginable ways. not gonna make someone feel like that.

This is a well thought out discussion that sums it up for me. Communication is always important in the relationship. My lips are sealed to further elaborate here.

I dont think everyone does. I think that probably a majority will at least once - both male and female. I also think that almost everyone will consider it at one time or another but not act on it. I have several friends who are not in the same open sexual marriage I am in who "Never would I xxxxx", but they almost all read the steamy sex novels and fantasize its happening to them. I think in part its human nature and in part hard to not be tempted especially as our marriage or relationship ages so to speak and looses some of the passion and fire. In my case personaly I very much love ny husband and he loves me ( I know I will face some how can you say that ) for that decloration - but we each have open permission to have sex with others with the prior knowled and approval of the who from each other. I know that most will consider this just cheating with a spin but it keeps the openness and honesty between us and if the answer is "no" its tespected without arguement or discussion. Do I think its right to hide it and do it? No. Do I think that most do/will? Yes. Does it mean that they want to leave their current spouse for someone else? No- not in most of the cases that is. But if you are going to do it make sure its clear up front with whoever you are going to do it with that its just sex and nothing else to avoid confusion. And at the first sense of deeper emotion you need to break it off completly - or if your looking for a teplacement have the respect to either work through your issues if thats what is causing your desire and if that doesnt work end what you have before starting what you want. Life is hard and unfair sometimes in relationships and marriage but a lot of the bitterness and heart ache can be avoided by simply keeping open honest communication. If you a a woman and tell me "I have never though about it or been tempted" I will say congratulation and you are that rare person. The same for the guys. If your one of the ones who is thinking about it, has done it or is doing it- welcome to the reality and majority of most modern relationships. If you feel guilty just remember that probably five out of seven of your neighbors has done the same at some point in some relationship. Be honest with yourself first and true to yourself. Dont hate your spouse for a choice you made and dont hate yourself. I dont suggest my situation for all of you, or even most of you for that matter because it takes contrary to popular assumption a very strong trust and respect for it, and it is very easy for you if you or your spouse are the jealous type for it to fail. Talk often, say how you really feel, dpnt be afraid to be yourself and share your emotional needs and desires openly with one another. XOX CreamySweet

Though I have cheated (and been cheated on), I don't thing EVERYONE cheats...
03/02/2012
i think everyone does. i love to cheat at mini golf
03/02/2012
I'm proud to say I've been faithful. Well.. The one serious relationship I've been in a was faithful to her. Never looked at another person. I was a cheater and a player before that but I'm over that stage now
03/02/2012
I'm gonna say no. NOT EVERYONE but a lot of people... yea.
03/02/2012
Definitely no.
03/03/2012

My parents never did in 52 years. I have had more than partner during my life, but when in a committed relationship, NEVER. When you really love someone, why would you want someone else.
04/01/2012
maybe not physically, but emotional flirting at least.
04/05/2012
Everyone cheats in some way at some point in their life, but it doesn't always relate to a relationship.

I have never cheated. If people want to cheat the they should just be single if they're not ready to settle.
