Why adults have extramarital affairs?
Chat about a loaded topic that no one wants to talk about, that’s it. Amusing thing, affairs have been going on since old ages. Extramarital relationships can be fraught with problems, cause sorrow, and other problems. Also you have to wrap your brain around all the other issues, there’s that truth and frankness matter, finances, age difference, faith education, 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 months long relationship of a sexual nature between two individuals of whom one or both are married to other wives/husbands, married women for dating.
Why do people have extramarital affairs? There are as many reasons as there are seek an extramarital affair. I am sure typically though it is only the human state, the need for liking, belonging, to be wanted and cared for, the caring for others and wanting to be loved and appreciated. Here are a several explanations I have run across.
In nature we as humans are all sexual creatures. Nature has us set up to reproduce, to have sex. Sex is pleasant and exciting, and sex makes us escape the real world for a short period of time. This euphoria exists for whatever amount of time we are able to keep the adrenalin levels elevated enough. Someone can turn the longing on and off, some are good at controlling it and others are so-so at best. Though we all have it, young and elder, 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 excitement of the pursue. For some of us it is the seduction, for some it is the caring for another person, for some it is the wish to be appreciatedloved, for some it is the total romance thing. These wishes and yearnings can be so strong they prevail over the taboos humanity has erected against affairs. For many individuals the yearnings will beat their fears and make them risk the rage of not only their family, but the public as well. So why, what is the catalyst?
Sex Addicts, probably some of us are. Sex is extremely pleasant, better then drugs, a natural high. If you are in this group of physically driven sex addicts and can find away to have an affair and not harm your relatives or anyone else? You will need to reduce the jeopardy you are taking. If you have the approach 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 major grouping, gigantic in fact. There are many couples whose marital relationships is over, except they feel comfy in the way they exist, 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 kids to consider. Your savings are so entangled. You need the medical insurance, and so on. There are a lot of reasons to stay jointly besides love and sex.
Physical reasons, there are some people who can not have sex. They have physical reasons that prevent them implementing the sex act, at least not with their othere half. An extramarital affair at times solves the problem while keeping the marriage whole.
Neglect, sorrowfully this is a frequent reason I fear. One or the other, usually the male is sexually neglecting his lady for a number of reasons. As a man I truly am thankful to you guys neglecting your ladies and making them accessible to us men of romance, making them “lonely wives” But I still think it is despicable that you are neglectful. Also 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 missing in the marriage, I can not put my finger on it, but its not there. Probably its romance that is missing, could be it is a shortage of love, could be caring is gone, maybe it is the closeness, could be neglect. Maybe we have simply grown apart, our relulas interests diverged. Could be it is that what I want, and what I want to do the rest of my ages, is opposite of what you want. Maybe I simply do not know what I want from the marriage anymore. Could be, just maybe I miss that sensation that when I am with you, it just feels right.
The major reason people give is, they search for the excitement that is missing and so very much longed for.
There are other reasons, the feeling of power, to run away, for economic gain, for retribution 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.
