I think we can all agree that cheating on your loving partner is a terrible thing, but why does it happen so regularly?
57 percent of males and 54 percent of females in the UK have admitted to committing infidelity in one or more of their relationships, according to a 2017 study.
And now a former sex worker, Samantha X, has revealed the three main reasons why women, in particular, cheat.

Previously known as 'Australia's most famous escort', Samatha - real name Amanda Goff - worked as the owner of a busy escort agency.
She also ran an advertising platform for male escorts and discovered 'what their secret needs were'.
"I know why one 46-year-old divorcee spent $60,000 in five years on male companions and I can assure you, it wasn't for the conversation," she told Mail Online.

However, Samantha thinks that 'women can be just as tricky in the dating game as men'.
"Women don't need connection like men do; we get our emotional needs met by our friends, family, even our pets," she said.
"Women don't want hours of endless talking. We do enough of that in our real lives.
"Women want the F word: fun."

These are Samantha's three main reasons why women cheat with male escorts:
1.They want their confidence back
She claims that women lose their confidence after 'having kids', which can 'be a hit on [their] self-esteem' and leave them feeling 'unsexy and undesirable'.

"Women will pay thousands to restore their self-esteem," she says.
2.They want good sex
This one is perhaps the least surprising out of the three and it's probably a factor why men cheat too.
One divorcee told Samantha: "I was sick of men coming over to eat meals I'd cook for them, and the food was always more satisfying than the sex."

Awks.
3.They want to be respected
The sexpert says that a former police officer told her: "Some men think it's OK to introduce themselves by sending d*** pics and being crude, thinking it will get them somewhere.
"I've had men also want sex the first time we meet and assume 'all women are easy'."
Samantha added: "A senior executive told me the men she had dated 'whinged too much about their ex-wives', and were intimidated by her independence.
"There were complaints some men are confused by today's expectations, scared of approaching them, and don't even buy their dates a drink on a first date.
"It was the ease of booking an allocated time, knowing what to expect, 'getting down to it' without the games and importantly, walking away knowing you still have your power."
FYI it's still not okay to cheat, just sayin'.
