Infidelity occurs in 20-25% of marital relationships. When married people have affairs, they're most likely to do it with a close personal friend. When men have affairs, they're more likely than women to do it with a casual or paid partner. There’s a lot of research out there looking at how many married people have committed infidelity. The results vary a bit across studies, but the best estimates suggest that between 1 in 4 and 1 in 5 spouses cheat at some point in their relationship. However, surprisingly little work has looked at who people are actually having
with when they commit infidelity. Do cheaters usually do it with someone they know, or with a stranger? And does this differ for men and women? A recent study published in the Journal of Family Psychology offers some insight. In this study, researchers analyzed nine waves of data from the U.S. General Social Survey, a nationally representative survey that is conducted most years. In total, they looked at the responses of 13,030 Americans collected between the years 2000 and 2016. Who Married People Have Affairs With. In each year of the survey, a question was asked of those who were married and reported having engaged in extramarital
about the other person with whom they’d had
. The response options included: (a) close personal friend, (b) neighbor, coworker, or long-term acquaintance, (c) casual date or pick-up, (d) person you paid or paid you for
, and (e) other. It turned out that most people reported extramarital
with a close personal friend (53.5%), followed by the category of neighbor/friend/long-term acquaintance (29.4%). So, by and large, affair partners were well known to the persons committing infidelity. It was far less common for people to report cheating with a casual date or hook-up (21%) or to engage in some type of transactional
(i.e., buying or selling
, 7.9%). About 8% selected the “other†option. (These numbers add up to more than 100% because participants could select more than one choice, given that they didn’t necessarily only cheat with just one other person.) Men Are More Likely to Have Affairs With Strangers. Men and women did not differ when it came to the percentage reporting cheating with someone they knew well. In other words, across gender, affairs are most likely to occur with friends. That said, men and women did differ in their odds of committing infidelity with a stranger. Specifically, whereas 24.3% of male cheaters had
with a casual hook-up, the number of female cheaters who had done so was 15.5%. Likewise, whereas 7.2% of male cheaters engaged in transactional
, just 1.3% of female cheaters did the same. Put another way, men were more likely to cheat with a casual or paid partner than women, a finding that appears to reflect men’s greater willingness to engage in casual
in general.
