Women can now blame their hormones for being unfaithful

Women go through lot of hormonal changes throughout life. These changes usually occur during menstrual cycle, pregnancy and menopause. However, sometimes these changes may be triggered all of a sudden due to thyroid glands and estrogen (the female sex hormone).

In a recent study conducted by Dr. Kristina Durante of The University of Texas at Austin and colleagues found that estrogen levels in a woman is a deciding factor that can make a woman look good and also affect her fertility. Also, if a woman had high level of estrogen known as estradiol she not only looks and feel pretty but she is also more prone to hop from man to man. High level of estrogen is linked with making a woman attractive and flirtatious.

"These women are willing to trade up when the opportunity arises and continue to extract these lucrative resources from men when they can," says Kristina, who led the study. To reach the conclusion, Durante's team tested 52 female undergraduates aged 17 to 30 who were not taking hormone contraceptives. They took two estradiol samples from each, as hormone levels fluctuate from week to week.

“High oestradiol women reported that they had dated more men and were more willing to cheat, from innocent flirts to serious affairs. These women, however, proved no more interested in one-night stands than women with lower levels of oestradiol.”

From the abstract:

They say beauty is only skin deep. But now we know that it’s deep till the sex hormones. Though it’s not possible to believe that all beautiful women are flirtatious and switch partners time to time, this research proves it to be true. Usually attractive women do get more options to choose from. They receive more male attention. This makes them opportunistic.

When such women are in relationship they tend to look for something more or better. This leads to an unfaithful behavior. However, if you are in love with your partner no matter how many options you get, one will still remain faithful. Also, a couple needs to have an understanding between them about their sexual desires and materialistic wants. Selflessness to an extent is essential to balance a relationship. AST- Asurething.net provides couples with an open ground to discuss about their sexual desires.

It is the boundaries you set for yourself that restricts you and not the boundaries society or others set.

Swingers have lower divorce rates

In today’s life nothing remains forever. Love, hatred, relationships and people, nothing really remains alive forever. Let’s face it. That’s a bestowed reality of nature. There are more divorce rates now in comparison to few decades ago. Divorce has become very common nowadays. We rarely find couples celebrating their silver jubilees and golden jubilees. Though there are several reasons behind it the rate of increase is alarming.

The Americans for Divorce Reform estimates that "Probably, 40 or possibly even 50 percent of marriages will end in divorce if current trends continue.” which is actually a projection.

There is one type of couple who are least affected by this. They are Swingers. Apparently it has been found that swingers have a lower divorce rate. In scientific studies conducted by professors of Bellarmine University, on 1092 swingers, show consistently that swingers bond better in a relationship than monogamous couples.

“Half of those who rated their relationship very happy before becoming swingers maintained it had become even happier. 90% of those with less happy relationships said swinging improved them. Almost 70% of swingers claimed no problem with jealousy, around a quarter admitted to some jealousy but only 6% said it was very much a problem.” Another interesting outcome of research is that swingers are happier in their relationships than the average person. 60% of swingers said that swinging improved their relationship. Also swingers rate themselves happier (59% against 32% very happy). Overall they consider their lives much more exciting (76% against 54% exciting) than couples who don't consider swinging as a lifestyle.

From the abstract:
The recent study on swingers and monogamous couples clearly shows that swingers are happy couples. The root cause of most divorces is lack of communication, dishonesty, or finances. Swingers have solid relationships based on honesty and open communication, which goes to eliminate almost all of the issues listed above.
Swingers that do divorce do it for other reasons than swinging. Most of the monogamous couples who turned swingers have said that swinging proved to be better for their relationship. There are a lot of questions people raise about STD and AIDS. However, being a swinger does not make catching an STD more likely. There are no public health concerns associated with swinging. Swingers play it safe they use condoms. Indeed, all swingers clubs such as AST – www.asurething.net have rules about condom use and the irresponsible ones are excluded
Whether you are a single or a couple (monogamous or swinger couple) you should enjoy safer sex.
