Why men have extramarital affairs?
Speak about a loaded theme that no one wants to speak about, this is it. Funny thing, married dating have been going on ever since millennium. Extramarital affairs can be burdened with troubles, cause misery, and other problems. Plus you must wrap your maind around all the other issues, there’s that truth and openness thing, finances, age difference, spiritual upbringing, guilt, and on and on. I anticipate there will be some strong opinions about some of this.
For the purpose of this article I shall identify an affair as a long term, maybe years long relationship of a sexual nature between two people of whom one or both are married to other wives/husbands, lonely wife looks for dating.
Why do women have affairs? There are as many answers as there are men seeking affairs. I think generally though it is just the human condition, the need for care, belonging, to be wanted and cared for, the caring for others and wanting to be loved and respected. Here are a few reasons I have run across.
In nature we as humans are all sexual beings. Nature has us set up to reproduce, to have sex. Sex is pleasant and fun, and sex makes us flee the world for a brief period of time. This ecstasy exists for whatever amount of time we are able to keep the adrenalin levels high enough. Someone can turn the wish on and off, some are good at controlling it and others are so-so at best. But we all have it, young and old, able bodied and not so able. It is the Human condition. For some of us it is the sex act itself that drives us. For some of us it is the stimulation of the hunt. For some of us it is the seduction, for some it is the caring for another being, for some it is the wish to be appreciatedloved, for some it is the entire romance thing. These wishes and yearnings can be so strong they prevail over the taboos culture has erected against extramarital affairs. For many individuals the yearnings will overcome their worries and make them risk the rage of not only their relatives, but the public also. So why, what is the means?
Sex Addicts, probably some of us are. Sex is terribly pleasant, better then drugs, a natural high. If you are in this group of physically motivated sex addicts and can find away to have an affair and not harm your family or anybody else? You would need to minimize the danger you are taking. If you have the feeling that a good affair is one that is beneficial to everyone, then good luck.
No love at home, or no romance. I think this is the largest grouping, gigantic truly. There are many couples whose marriage is over, except they feel comfy in the way they live, and upsetting the extended families is not on their list of things they wish to do. You love your other half but there is no romance. Also there are the children to consider. Your finances are so entangled. You need the medical insurance, and so on. There are a lot of reasons to live as a family besides love and sex.
Physical reasons, there are some people who can not have sex. They have physical reasons that prevent them completing the sex performance, at least not with their spouse. An extra-marital affair occasionally solves the trouble while keeping the marriage undamaged.
Ignoring, sorrowfully this is a common groung I fear. One or the other, usually the man is sexually neglecting his lady for a tones of reasons. As a man I truly appreciate you guys neglecting your ladies and making them accessible to us men of romance, making them “milf wives” Though I still think it is despicable that you are neglectful. Then there is the spouse who is neglectful until the wife or husband has an affair, then they condemn them for doing so, when they where the catalyst. Those who neglect, then condemn, are not just neglectful, but evil.
Something is just omitted in the marriage, I can not put my finger on it, but its not there. Perhaps its romance that is missing, could be it is a lack of love, maybe compassion is gone, maybe it is the intimacy, could be neglect. Maybe we have simply developed distantly, our ordinary concerns diverged. Maybe it is that what I want, and what I want to do the rest of my life, is conflicting of what you want. Could be I just do not know what I want from the marriage anymore. Could be, just maybe I miss that feeling that when I am with you, it just feels right.
The first reason people give is, they seek the excitement that is missing and so very much longed for.
There are other reasons, the feeling of power, to escape, for financial gain, for revenge and so on. I am sure there are more reasons why people have affairs then these. I only stop because if this gets too long no one will read it.
