Actually it was a documentary including believe it or not a vaginal micro camera....I know you think I'm joking...I don't joke about cheating.

It was a study...maybe Discovery or that Tech channel. Anyhow they actually had film of a rather gynecological nature that showed additionally that the women in this test group were more likely to also have their cervix become more sperm conducive (permeable) and that they secreted less hostile uterine enzymes when cheating at ovulation time hence increasing their chance of impregnation with their "lover" than with the spouse......if they were cheaters.

It would be interesting to see if a man's sperm count and morphology and motility also increased when he cheated and if we (men) had some innate sense to pursue our "lover" when she was ovulating.

I think it was a Brit or maybe Swiss study.

I swear on my 4 kids I'm not making this up.

I have read and heard alot along the lines of what you are saying, and I believe you :-)

I have also had opportunity to hear things from people who analyze the data from studies like that and from medical trials. One of the oddest tidbits I have heard involved the effects of selection on paternity testing. Specifically, when the reason for dna analysis has nothing at all to do with paternity, the rate of discovered illegitimacy is much higher than when the data is gathered specifically to test paternity. The obvious inference being that such tests are somehow more often avoided when there is some doubt in mom's mind about paternity.

The person who related this to me also mentioned in particular a very broad study over several years on tissue compatibility tests for bone transplant. In more than 70% of children whose parents were married at the time of conception, the married guy was NOT the dad. This study was in southern california, and non-white hispanics were disproportionately represented, so maybe maybe that's not a slice of american family pie, but it is certainly food for thought.

Along the lines of the cheater's advantage ... I have read many times that sexual arousal and fertility were correlated, in that any given woman will get pregnant easier when she is more aroused.

So if cheating is what thrills her then the "other guy" will always have that advantage, since you can't cheat with your husband, only on him.
