Women who cheat on their husbands are happily married but just 'bored' in the bedroom, a new study has found.
Those who have affairs do not feel 'unloved' by their partners nor have any desire to leave them, the British and U.S. researchers concluded.
Instead, they are searching for more 'romantic passion' in their sex lives.
The study, presented at the annual American Sociological Association conference in San Francisco, involved interviews with 100 women who used a dating site for married people.
They were all heterosexual, married and aged between 35 and 45, according to
phys.org.
Two thirds of the women - 67 per cent - said they sought an affair on AshleyMadison.com in a bid to spice up their sex lives.
Only 47 per cent discussed the number of potential suitors they were searching for - but of those who did, all wanted to cheat with just one man.
Incredibly, none had any desire to divorce their husbands - and several even spoke of their 'love' for their partners.
Lead author Professor Eric Anderson, of the University of Winchester, said: 'Being happy in marriage is far different than being happy in bed.'
'The most surprising finding is that none of the 100 women were looking to leave their husbands.
'Instead, they were adamant that they were not looking for a new husband. Many even stated their overt love for their husbands, painting them in a positive light.'
Prof Anderson, chief science officer at AshleyMadison.com, added that the findings challenge the idea that women have affairs because they feel 'something is wrong with the emotional aspect' of their marriage.
It comes just days after a UK study revealed a quarter of Britons have had an affair and most are not satisfied with their sex lives.
One in four people admitted to being unfaithful at one time in their lives and a fifth of those surveyed felt tempted to cheat in their current or past relationships.
Meanwhile, nearly one in three men and more than one in five women claimed to have had more than ten sexual partners.
The figures were released by the charity Relate in a report called The Way We Are Now, which documented the state of the UK's relationships in 2014.
