Why adults have affairs?
Speak about a loaded matter that no one wants to chat about, this is it. Amusing thing, affairs have been going on since the beginning of the world. Affairs can be fraught with troubles, cause sadness, and other harms. Plus you must wrap your brain around all the other issues, there’s that truth and honesty matter, funds, age dissimilarity, religious background, remorse, and on and on. I anticipate there will be some strong opinions about some of this.
For the purpose of this post I will classify 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, married date.
Why do men have affairs? There are as many answers as there are seek affairs. I am conserned generally though it is only the human state, the need for love, 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.
Biologically we as humans are all sexual creatures. Nature has us set up to reproduce, to have sex. Sex is pleasurable and fun, and sex makes us flee the world for a small period of time. This excitement exists for whatever amount of time we are able to keep the adrenalin levels high enough. Someone can switch the wish on and off, some are good at controlling it and others are so-so at best. Though we all have it, young and mature, 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 hunt. For some of us it is the seduction, for some it is the caring for another human being, for some it is the longing to be appreciatedloved, for some it is the entire romance thing. These wishes and yearnings can be so strong they overcome the taboos humanity has erected against married dating. For many individuals the yearnings will defeat their fears and make them risk the fury of not only their family, but society as well. So why, what is the mechanism?
Sex Addicts, probably some of us are. Sex is extremely good, better then drugs, a natural high. If you are in this group of biologically driven sex addicts and can find away to have sex and not wound your relatives or anyone else? You will need to reduce the risk you are taking. If you have the approach that a good affair is one that is beneficial to everybody, then good luck.
No love at home, or no romance. I suppose this is the major group, enormous really. There are many couples whose marriage is over, apart from they are happy in the manner 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. Then there are the kids to consider. Your assets are so tangled. 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 circumstances that prevent them implementing the sex performance, at least not with their spouse. An affair from time to time solves the trouble while keeping the marriage intact.
Ignoring, sorrowfully this is a common reason I fear. One or the other, generally the male is sexually neglecting his wife for a number of reasons. As a male I really am grateful to you guys neglecting your ladies and making them accessible to us guys of romance, making them “milfs” 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. Maybe its romance that is missing, could be it is a lack of love, maybe compassion is disappeared, could be it is the intimacy, maybe neglect. Maybe we have simply grown apart, our ordinary concerns diverged. Could be it is that what I want, and what I want to do the rest of my ages, is opposed to of what you want. Maybe I simply do not know what I want from the marriage anymore. Maybe, just maybe I miss that feeling that when I am with you, it just feels right.
The major reason people give is, they search for the passion that is missing and so very much longed for.
There are other reasons, the feeling of power, to get away, for economic gain, for payback 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.
