Which country ranks top on adultery?

This list prepared by the mirror.co.uk shows the countries that are most often cited as having illicit affairs.

10. Finland 36%


Just scraping into the top 10, Finland has an interesting view when it comes to having an affair. The liaisons are called 'parallel relationships' and society is relatively open-minded when it comes to having a bit on the side.


A survey by Match.com found one in five married men had had affairs with at least 10 women - seven times the rate among women.


9. United Kingdom 36%



The British aren't traditionally known for their fiery sex lives, but that may have changed. In fact, the owner of a leading website, which helps arrange extra-marital affairs, claims at least 1 million Brits are interested in cheating on their partners.


8. Spain 39%


The southern European country is associated with having a passionate and fiery temperament so it is perhaps surprising that Spain does not feature higher up the list.


However, while the influence of Spain's Catholic Church is waning, it seems to still hold some sway since extra-marital affairs remain somewhat taboo in the country.


7. Belgium 40%



According to magazine New Europe, an advisor of Belgian dating website Gleeden claims that cheating is no longer taboo in the country. "It is no longer a 'wrong' that allows the injured party to request separating due to the wrongs of the infidel," she said.


6. Norway 41%



According to dating website Victoria Milan which caters for married men and women looking to play away, Norwegians are less likely to use the site during winters. But when the mercury rises it seems that so does Norwegians promiscuity.


5. France 43%


The Gallic people have always been thought of as fairly open-minded when it comes to matters of the heart. In fact the traditional l'heure bleue refers to the hour after work when men would go and visit their mistress.
France is the only country in which most people believe affairs are morally acceptable and only 28 per cent of adulterers said they regretted their affairs.


4. Germany 45%



It might come as a surprise that the Germans are more likely than the French to have affairs. But it seems, the French have some frisky neighbours who are perhaps just more discreet about playing away from home.


3. Italy 45%



The country that gave us the original ladies man Giacomo Casanova famed for bedding hundreds of women lays a strong claim to third place in the world ranking. Italy also elected Silvio Berlusconi known as much for his Bunga Bunga parties as for his politics.


2. Denmark 46%



The Scandinavian country always scores highly on ratings which judge the happiness of its citizens, but it seems they also score highly when it comes to adultery. More than one-third of people residing in Copenhagen have been unfaithful to their partners.


1. Thailand 56%


But it's Thailand which grabbed the top spot with 56% of the population admitting to being unfaithful. Thailand has a whole host of being unfaithful including the traditional mia noi (minor wife). The younger generation also enjoys the casual kik culture where men and women have extra friends they spend time with aside from their partners. Not all of these relationships are sexual.

This is the truth . The "Kalla Kathal" story will come out open only when one of the Married couple is murderd in a fit of anger!!. from time immemorial Other wise never reported for want of real data The vernacular dailies will sensationalise thse cases you will see them daily in these papers! English dailies and TV channels will jump into the fray only in VIP's kalla kathal!

 

[psnarasimhan]

All said and written nobody dare to come out with the truth about India,- where they stand in the rank?

How do you rank without data? Since no data available can you deny its existance? These are all sensitive issues in Indian Psyche - we behave like Ostrich or live in Poonai Kannai Moodikondal situation!

I feel Adultery is an interesting situation..we need to do more study on this.

I have a great feeling that one can be happily married yet commit adultery cos then its like having a cake and eating it both! That is we have 2 people to show us love and lust in varying proportions.

If one is not happily married there is no use committing adultery cos than it would be stressful cos we would be hoping the lover plays the role of the spouse to shower us love and one needs to disconnect from spouse too..so this situation is just like being married and no extra kiccku.


So I feel the pre-requisite for a successful adulterous liaison should invariably be a stable happy marriage.

Only when we are happy with the main meal we can enjoy side dishes and be in control of the situation.

What is the feeling of the main dish? It is always going to be destroyed (eaten).
If it is open marriage, or live in arrangement it might work for short time, ultimately society will demand compliance. One also must take into account the welfare of children.
Family unions are not just for sex. If it was your argument may hold.
But it is not that simple.

 

[renuka]

Family unions are not just for sex.

Sometimes even adultery does not have to involve sex too.
Its about establishing a connection with more than 1 person.

Actually we humans are pulsating with love..is there a hard and fast rule that we should only share it with one person?

 

[prasad1]

Adultery is extramarital sex that is considered objectionable on social, religious, moral or legal grounds. Though what sexual activities constitute adultery varies, as well as the social, religious and legal consequences, the concept exists in many cultures and is similar in Islam, Christianity and Judaism.

So no sex no adultery. Most of us have friends (man and woman) and no sexual activity, outside of marriage, and that is normal.

 

[prasad1]

The bihar chief minister lost:
To begin with Manjhi defended the indefensible by justifying his younger son's flirtations with a married woman constable of the BMP. The constable was quietly transferred out of Gaya following the expose in which the VIP son was allegedly caught almost literally with his pants down in a Bodh Gaya hotel. Keeping girl friends at the cost of the legally wedded wife was not wrong per se went the CM's logic.

 

[renuka]

So no sex no adultery. Most of us have friends (man and woman) and no sexual activity, outside of marriage, and that is normal.

Its different...I was not talking about friendship.

There can be Non Sexual Adultery where two people are practically soul mates but its just that they do not indulge in sex and are not married to each other.

The feelings can range from deep emotional connection to deep love and they can admit their love for each other but yet choose to remain celibate.

Its almost a relationship that is purely at a mental level.

 

[biswa]

Soul mates don't commit adultery, Renukaji. Prasadji has spoken. I think the law is also clear on this point. Having another soul mate is not grounds for divorce.

 

[renuka]

Soul mates don't commit adultery, Renukaji. Prasadji has spoken. I think the law is also clear on this point. Having another soul mate is not grounds for divorce.

Why should anyone divorce?

If one divorces their spouse and marries their "soul mate" then the soul mate takes the place of the spouse and we would only have one person to love.

No one is looking for another spouse..but one can have a spouse and a soul mate.

BTW I dislike the word Adultery..its gives a sexual relationship an illicit name.

Reasons For Adultery - And How The Shocking Statistics Reveal Why No one Can Be Complacent

Reasons For Adultery - And How The Shocking Statistics Reveal Why Noone Can Be Complacent

Everyone in a marriage or long term relationship needs to be aware of the main reasons for adultery especially in view of the most recent statistics. Recent surveys have revealed that 45% of women and 55% of men have been guilty of committing adultery. Of course these are just the ones who have admitted to it or have been caught so the real numbers must be considerably higher.
There are different areas in their marriages that those surveyed found lacking. 65% of those who admitted to committing adultery said that they lacked sexual intimacy so they chose to look for it elsewhere. 20% claimed that the emotional side of their relationship was lacking, whilst the rest cited physiological needs as the reasons for their dishonesty.
So with these staggering adultery statistics don't you think it's in your best interests to know what the main reasons for it are? You should never be complacent in your ownmarriage because these figures demonstrate that adultery is not just something that happens to someone else.
Whether it's one night stands or long term affairs it's quite clear from these alarming figures that everyone has the capability to cheat on their partner.
Research reveals that there are 5 main reasons for adultery. These are:
1. Loneliness.
This can be when one partner spends a lot of their time away from home either concentrating on their professional career or simply preferring to spend more time with their friends or pursuing their own interests.
2. Communication barriers.
Poor communication invariably causes problems in a marriage or relationship. Problems and arguments left unresolved can easily compound and fester when partners are either unwilling or unable to discuss these with each other.
3. Lack of love and affection.
Love and affection are essential ingredients in any marriage or relationship. Lack of affection or love is one of the most common reasons for adultery. People will look to others when these needs are not being met by their spouse or partner.
4. A poor sexual relationship
Boredom in the bedroom will often lead to one or even both partners going off and seeking excitement and variety elsewhere.
5. Lack of intimacy
Marriages need intimacy to survive. Without this in your marriage you may well feel unloved, rejected and unwanted.
So there you have the 5 top reasons for adultery and the scary statistics that go with them. If you are aware of any of these issues in your own marriage maybe you should address them before it's too late! Read on...

.......... So no sex no adultery. Most of us have friends (man and woman) and no sexual activity, outside of marriage, and that is normal.

I agree 100% with this view. It is normal to have close friendly persons of both genders.

That is no way branded as adultery! :nono:

 

[Raji Ram]

Dear Renu,

In the movie 'Sindhubhairavi', the hero finds a girl of equal wave length. The relationship is agreeable to everyone,

till it becomes a bodily intimate relationship, which is agmark adultery!

dear RR ji,

That is why Non Sexual Adultery is the safest bet..the person is more than a friend..there is feelings of Lovvu and a deep emotional connection but no sex.

 

[Naina_Marbus]

dear RR ji,

One needs to go by established socially accepted definitions for words to avoid mislabelling any activity.. Adultery is, by definition, voluntary sexual intercourse between a married person and a person who is not his or her spouse. Non Sexual Adultery? Good example of oxymoron. It is like saying "cruel kindness" . What you probably have in mind is what goes by the definition for Platonic friendship.

 

[renuka]

What you probably have in mind is what goes by the definition for Platonic friendship.

Nope...its not Platonic...Platonic has no emotional involvement..its friendship.

In Non Sexual Adultery there is emotional involvement.

Emotional affairs is an example of Non Sexual Adultery.

 

[mkrishna100]

dear RR ji,

That is why Non Sexual Adultery is the safest bet..the person is more than a friend..there is feelings of Lovvu and a deep emotional connection but no sex.

I am not bringing in herre morality or legal terms to define adultery but talking of the personal experience of 3 womens with whom I have interacted personally and whose marriage collapsed due to their platonic love turing to real love to sexual love . All the 3 women said that they went in that relationship purely for emotional satisfaction and not for sexual adventure but some how as time passed it turned to sexual love .I am not juding them right or wrong but the fact is they kept the relationship secret and if you have to maintain secrecy you need to start lying and once you start with one lie you will need 10 more times to protect the first lie and you will only be surrounded by lies and slowly you will strat drifting from your close family members and will become increasingly lonely and to satisfy that loneliess many women end up sleeping with the person whom they loved only for emotional reasons . There is a saying "Men give love to get sex and women give sex to get love " .This proved true to all the 3 women whom I personally interacted ( 2 are NRIs and 1 a Foreign National ) .As I never interacted with the other men in their life I really cant say what was the relationship about really but one thing I found is they were going through a mid life crisis and wre bored with their own day to day living and had an inner void that they were trying to fill and believed that the emotional warmth given by their secrred friend /partrner was the right ingredient to fill their void and start investing their time and energy without being aware that every action has its counter consequences and they had a disastrous counter consequence later and are now still in misery as now even their husbands have kicked them out and their so called secret partners have gone away after tasting them .
No doubt every individual has some form of the void or the other and best way is to expand our uni dimensional way of living to exploring other dimensions in our life .For example if I am bored with eating daily the same home cooked food and I start going outside to the restaurants to eat food , it may be fine for a day or few days but if I continue to keep eating outside not only will it be a drain on my purse but also I will devleop acidity and ulcer and other ailments associated with restaurant food and so the solution is to learn cooking and discover the joys of cooking and eating my own food . This is the safest and health way to not only avoid boredom but also to keep oneself physically and emotionally healthy . The same applies to filling the void in our lives through secret relationships .The void will only get temporarily filled up and will not last long and best is to dicover our own inner happines by expanding our mental make up to discover the other dimesnions in our lives that we have missed and that has all the potential to fill the void in our lives .

So in conclusion : One is free to do whatever one wants and give any names like platonic friendship , just friendship , non sexual friendship , sexual friendship without attachments etc etc .Nothing is wrong in anything as long as one is also reasdy to face the consequences of the same at a later date . Every action however secrtely or subtly done will have an impact at a later stage and one must be mentally prepared to face those consequences good or bad .

Some people confuse love with sex and thats how the problems starts..as we age we start to know the Love for everyone is the same...but bring in sex and it confuses the relationship.

Most females are always equating sex as love.

That is how the problem starts.

Sex is like eating food..we eat and digest it and case closed.

Love on the other hand can not be digested..its the substratum of our very existence.

 

[Raji Ram]

Dear Renu,

Loving a person from other gender is totally different from loving a spouse.

Please try to understand.

P.S: The word 'soul mate' is seen everywhere in matrimonial sites and G O K what it means! :lol:

 

[renuka]

Loving a person from other gender is totally different from loving a spouse.

Dear RR ji,

This is becos we are still "personalizing" the relationship and identifying it with sex.

Just try to remove sex from the picture..we will realize that there is no difference between loving a spouse and a sibling.

Love is like God..we can personalize God and have an Istha Devata...but God verily is God.

Same with Love..we can personalize it and have love for spouse..friends..siblings etc..but Love verily is Love.

I hope you see the fine difference I am trying to convey here.

 

[Raji Ram]

Dear Renu,

Love might be the same word used but there IS difference between loving a spouse, friend, brother, sister or children.

Sorry, I can't agree with your fundA.
