When it comes to cheating, there can be a couple of different reasons why people resort to it. 

But cheating on your partner because you have a good sex life? This is news to us.

Researchers from Florida State University observed the relationship status, satisfaction, and cheating behaviour of 233 newlywed couples over the course of three years.

The study, which was published in the Journal Of Personality and Social Psychology, found that people were more likely to cheat if they had a good sex life.
