Abstract in brief

  • The article explores the complex nature of male unfaithfulness, highlighting its cultural, religious, and legal variations, and summarizing data on its prevalence and associated psychological, biological, and relational factors.
  • Studies indicate that between 15% and 50% of men have engaged in extramarital affairs at some point, with factors such as dysfunctional primary relationships, family conflicts, higher androgen levels, and sexual function playing significant roles.
  • Emerging evidence suggests a possible link between infidelity and increased cardiovascular risk, implying that men engaging in extramarital affairs may have a higher likelihood of experiencing serious heart-related health issues.

How? Well, many studies have found that these same 5 health benefits do not occur after casual sex. In fact, having sex with someone who you don’t share a bond with *increases* the likelihood of heart disease. https://t.co/1lTnZBID0N

@parakeetnebula However, and this unfortunate for you in that again it only applies to guys, but men who cheat are more likely to die when they are unfaithful, so even when it comes to dying from sex men are better at it than women https://t.co/04w8YMFBNP https://t.co/Z4vW5oHYAI
