Just why does a person commit adultery?

 

sexual gratification,without concern for their partners feelings.

 

I occasionally have sex with a married woman, and she says she does it to experience passion that her husband doesn't give her.

 

False--its based off a lack of marital consent. Adultery is dumb and cruel.

 

I can't answer the question but about why but as to the statement being true or false, obviously it's false! If you're committing "adultery", then you're admitting to being committed to a partner at some level. So if you have a partner and you're committing adultery, you've already broken a rule!!

jaywestwood, generically, I would imagine that's the reason given by alot of people; they're not getting something they want from their partner so they go looking for it elsewhere. My wife gave me the same excuse after she cheated on me! However, we still disagree on what was actually missing.

 

That's interesting, I just finished watching a movie about adultery.

It's committed for too many various reasons, you cannot simply pin adultery down.

 

this comment is correct, if your gonna play around, you should be swinging with your mate, otherwise its not really fair to either of you

 

If you don't want to fuck the same person the rest of your life, don't get married.

but what if your mate doesn't want to swing? what then? why is it fair for one person to decide the sexual relationship that the couple have? that is plain selfishness!! i'm not condoning adultery at all but if your not happy sexually it can ruin a relationship!

 

I mean, if you are unwilling to compromise, then you break off the relationship.

But adultery is a specific term to denote cheating in the context of a marriage or civil union. If you wanted certain sexual liberties you should have made sure that your partner approved before you got married.

 

Adultery is a fine line between love and hate....
It is the reason for sexless and loveless marriages.....
but the again it can bring the spice back 2 a marriage.....
But the couple needs to be upfront with decisions to have sex outside the marriage...
You never know who has wat these days....

 

"Alfred Kinsey has found in his studies that 50% of males and 26% of females had extramarital sex at least once during their lifetime."

50%? that's crazy! and Kinsey did his research in the 50s!

 

Religion aside, I don't think two partners that consent to extra-marital sex would describe themselves as engaging in adultery. Adultery is a loaded and negative word. I think they would describe their behavior as swinging, polyamory, or non-monogamy.

 

Very Tru...........
But it also has 2 to with with is this sex or a relationship....
If its sex is it "cheating"?
or if its a relationship is it commiting adultery?
both are a negative behavior........

 

Praise Jesus! Praise the Lord!



**Edit**

I will never do that again. Promise.

 

good comment except it doesnt have to be determined BEFORE the marriage, it can be worked out afterwards through trust and communication

 

exactly! we have awesome extra marital sex and there is no adultery whatsoever , we are swingers AND polyamorus actually

 

Ok, so here's my view. Everyone on here is obviously too scared to be flamed. Adultery in my view can sometimes save a marriage. Now you all say you are against it but many attached people appear to be on here 24/7. What does that say about you and your relationship? I know that is not playing away from home officially but you seem to want to know the females 'better'.

I am in my early 30's and unattached and constantly get hit on by married men. Sometimes I take them up on their offer but not when I find out they are attached. Are you lot telling me it's none of you, you are all so virtuous? You wouldn't disrespect your partner by doing so? No, I don't think so. You are hypocrites and if we lived in an ideal world we would all be monogamous but thats not the way we are.

Now put your heads above the parapet and be honest for a change.

 

Are you talking to me? I don't think so.
