Men have the whole porn industry catering for their needs if they want to get sexual satisfaction during spouse's dry spell. Women have what, Harlequin books? Gee.
It has been for long the duty of a woman to be a selfsacrificing mother and wife while men sort of "earned" the right to be more easily forgiven, being hard-working family supporters. Men could wander in the public while women were at home. You gotta be able to meet someone who to fuck with to be unfaitfull. Internet makes it even more easy, but also women being economically more independent and less scared of possible divorce and and woking outside home and having their own hobbies in mixed gender groups and not just Rotary Women activism or bridge nights of the women from the same block anymore.
Anyway I don't believe those statistics complitely. They are done as questionnaires and part of what they present is what people want to be and what they value versus what they actually do. Cheating is not as big taboo as it used to be and women get more confident in admitting it. And like others said, it's not the secretary (or a single woman) men are sleeping with but someone pretty much like their own wife or girlfriend. I saw a documentary about a detective who was hired to find proof of infidelity (for divorce cases mostly, or future possible divorce cases..) and he claimed women take cheating more severely than men. Also he had found that women cheat with married men who are just about the same age as their own man but that men cheat with ~5 years younger woman who has longer hair than gf/wife. His theory on this was that women have long hair when they are single to seem beautiful and attract men and then they cut it shorter so it's easier to maintain when they pair with someone and men miss the way she used to be when they first met when he goes cheating.
