Democratic men are more likely to have more lenient attitudes toward infidelity in marriage than Republican men and are more likely to admit to having sex outside their marriages, according to a new analysis.
"Contrary to what the headlines might suggest, Republican men are less likely to stray than other men," Brad Wilcox, a sociology professor and fellow at the Institute for Family Studies (IFS) wrote about the group's latest research. "That might be partly because, when it comes to attitudes about cheating, it’s actually Democrats who have become more accepting of extra-marital sex in recent years."
