Women Only!
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.
The fact that large numbers of women are unfaithful is supported by the now well-known statistic that 30% of DNA paternity tests show the man isn’t the father of the child in question.
The most common reasons that a woman cheats on her husband, most of the time, is for an emotional affair. Many times she feels that she’s not getting the validation at home, she’s not being listened to, she’s being dismissed, she feels invisible, or he’s not spending enough time with her.
I stumbled on this site and found these statistics. I do not know if they are accurate or done by recognised authority.
More interesting stuffs…
Many women are particularly drawn to online affairs. Someone who has been ignored by a spouse (or at least perceives that he or she is ignored) suddenly becomes the center of attention in a one-on-one e-mail exchange. A woman finds it exciting, even intoxicating, that all this man, who is probably ignoring his wife or his “real-life” relationships, wants to talk to her. And they are eager to hear what she says and needs.
It also appears that women who are employed full-time outside of the home are more likely to have an affair than full-time homemakers.
Once, in a forum, a married woman asked a group of us if it is considered cheating if her husband has online affair with another woman but without having sex. Well, we were indecisive because it is a grey area as we didn’t really hear from all angles.
What is your general opinion? If there is no sex involve, is it considered cheating?

wow, really?! i didn’t know that…hmmm
That’s a good horrible finding. But, do you think so? Women cheat too but perhaps not as frequent as men do
Nice blog, I like. It helps to understand women better. Yes the facts are well, facts. Does having online affair constitute an affair? Yes, an emotional affair which can be just as powerful or even more powerful than a physical one. So since women are more the emotional species, and more in touch, for them to get into this is very dangerous, and can indeed breakup families. Lust is different in that its just that.. to satisfy a need, no depth. Its just a matter of time and situation which will soon drive the marriage spiralling down and the person or persons(the one having the online affair as well as their spouse) dun even understand why, thus this is crucial to understand, maybe even without the physical part ever happening. SUPPORT groups for uderstandings like this in KL(dun even mention rural areas!) is seriously lacking, amogst other things.
