The truth is that the desire to stray is strong even in women in the happiest of relationships. A study published in February by the Journal of Sex Research showed that 80 percent of women (compared to 98 percent of men) have frequent fantasies involving persons other than their partner, and the gender gap narrows in longer-term relationships.
U.S. sexual behavior studies over the past 50 years have produced diverse estimates of male infidelity, ranging from 25 percent to 75 percent of men cheating on their wives. Presumably, the percentage rose after the of the 1960s "sexual revolution." According to Maryland marriage therapist Shirley Glass, some fifty percent of cheaters claim to be "happy" with their marriages, begging the question of how happy they would be if their wives behaved similarly.
The reality, say experts, is it happens more often than not. And — contrary to conventional wisdom — it's not just men who stray.
More than 50 percent of all married women, at some point, cheat on their mates, according to psychologist Bonnie Eaker Weil, who has written several books on adultery. "You have to be on the alert that at any moment you could lose your partner," she says.

I find it easy to remain monogamous. I think it's the men that find it hard.
