Читать книгу Cyber Infidelity - Dr Eve - Страница 12

Are you happy when you spend time with your primary partner? As you can see, almost every man I surveyed is – across all ages and countries, married men on an adult infidelity site are happy to do this. The enjoyment dips slightly in older men; it’s that old familiarity kicking in. We have established that these men are more vulnerable to CI due to this.

I asked South African women on AM the same question: 52,6% said they are happy, even extremely happy, when spending time with their partners. Why, then, are they on AM? If you’ve answered yes to the question of whether you are happy spending time with your partner, why are you committing CI?

Let’s take this a step further to try to answer this question. As you understand, CI is about the emotional intimacy you develop through various behaviours such as sexting, cyberflirting, cyberchattting and cyberdating. I asked men and women on AM if they have an emotional connection with their primary partner. I reckoned that if I found flaws here, it would help me to understand the drive towards CI and people’s vulnerability to it. Look what turned up.
