1 in 3 American Mom's Getting A Bit On The Side
While the Huffington Post is not exactly the AMA Journal, and a self-selecting survey run on-line isn't the most statistically rigourous, this article discusses two interesting results of such a survey run by Cookie magazine and AOL Body targeting solely women who were married with children.
The first such result was that one in three of the mothers who responded are either having or have just had an affair, and that 77% of them wanted more sex.
I'd be willing to bet that similar results would occur in a survey targeting fathers with children. What I'd really be interested in is finding out the correlation between the fathers who want more sex, and the mothers who want more sex. Would they be the same couples? Are they wanting more from sex, or just more quantity? Is the desire for more because they don't get the opportunity, or because their desires don't match their partners? Or maybe they both want more, but don't want to bother the other?
