Why People Cheat in Relationships

Topic: Extra-Relationship Sex / Cheating – Love & Human Sexuality Series

Extra-Relationship Sex / Cheating - People who marry in U.S. society usually make a public vow to be (sexually) faithful to the partner, to be monogamous. In the past, those who found it impossible to keep the vow engaged in adultery (sex with someone other than the spouse), and usually tried to hide the activity. As many as 1/3 of people dating, cohabiting and married, report one or more instances of having sex with someone other than their partner (Hyde, 2017).

Extra-Relationship Sex refers to sexual activity involving a person in a long-term committed relationship (exclusive dating, cohabiting, or married) and someone other than the person’s long-term partner. If the couple is married, this is referred to as adultery or an affair. If the person is not married, it is often referred to as cheating (White, 2020).
