The statistics on extramarital sex are alarming. The figures vary, but most surveys report that somewhere around 70% of men and 40% of women have had sex with someone other than their spouse while married. These men and women often report being unhappy with the intimacy in their marriage. It's easy to see the appeal of wandering - an affair offers variety, excitement, and intensity. But does the newness and mystery of extramarital sex really trump the comfort and predictability of marital sex?
Our society has taught us to value excitement over comfort and romance over love, but the best sex of all grows out of the intimacy and safety that only a long-term, committed relationship can offer. Married sex can't compete with affair sex in the clothes-ripping, can't-keep-your-hands- off-each-other department, but it beats affair sex hands down when it comes to rich, intimate, soul-satisfying lovemaking.
