Research: Older Women Cheat, Too
MARKETWATCH – Researcher Susan Shapiro Barash has found that extramarital affairs are common among older women. Her research shows that 90% of the women surveyed had no guilt or remorse about their actions, with women actively pursuing their affairs with a sense of entitlement. Barash's research found that older women's affairs fell into the same categories as those of their younger counterparts: empowering affairs, sex-driven affairs, love affairs, and self-esteem affairs. One of Barash's more interesting findings is that extramarital affairs don't necessarily lead to the breakup of the marriage. In over half of the cases, the marriage stayed intact and was sometimes strengthened by the affair, whether or not the liaison was disclosed to the spouse. Susan Shapiro Barash is the author of the book "A Passion for More: Affairs that Make or Break Us".

There's also a growing number of Gen Z identifying as part of the LGBTQ+ community, with a third saying their sexuality has become more fluid over the past three years.
