From Science Codex:
The researchers found that the large majority of women – 67 percent – were seeking
affairs because they wanted more romantic passion, which always included sex. "But,
the most surprising finding is that none of the 100 women were looking to leave their
husbands," said Anderson, who co-authored the study with Matthew H. Rafalow, a doctoral
candidate in sociology at the University of California, Irvine, and Matthew Ripley,
a doctoral candidate in sociology at the University of Southern California. "Instead,
they were adamant that they were not looking for a new husband. Many even stated their
overt love for their husbands, painting them in a positive light."
