I would tend to agree with your theory. I don't know if it's cause or effect though.
I would lean towards effect.
As one partner loses drive or can't keep up, the other becomes even more driven and hence you get a snowball effect.
I have a male friend who has the perfect marriage, more so than any of my other friends. He and his wife get along perfectly.
But she can't keep up with him in the bedroom. Not even close, so he has his discrete affairs. He'll never leave his wife in a million years, but he needs to have his sex drive taken care of.
