Why People Cheat: 3 Reasons Men and Women Are Powerless Over

In fact, it can be confidently stated that there are as many reasons for cheating as there are couples.

Despite this, general trends can be identified in this “question”.

Biology

Evolution is geared toward reproduction, not monogamy. At the beginning of a relationship (the stage commonly referred to as falling in love), hormones are released that regulate and maintain these feelings.

The set of hormones in men and women is slightly different, but the goal is the same - to create a couple for conception and care of the child while it is in infancy. Then evolution gives the opportunity to people themselves to make the decision.

Striving for diversity

Desire is based on novelty. The pornography and erotica market exploits this principle. We want something we haven’t tried yet, so at the beginning of a relationship, passion is strong, but over time it weakens – and this is completely natural.

Some couples are able to rekindle passion and look at a familiar person in a new way, but this requires knowing yourself and your partner well, as well as being patient.

In everyday life, full of worries and responsibilities, it is easier to look for pleasure on the side.

Dissatisfaction

Often, different preferences of partners in sexual life become obvious only after several months or even years of living together.

If one partner is not willing to compromise, the other may be faced with a choice: to resign themselves or to seek satisfaction elsewhere.

Earlier, BelNovosti wrote about why a man in a relationship does not do anything worthwhile.
