A new study
says fat men are less likely to stray than their thinner counterparts -
but not through lack of opportunity.
The German survey
found that overweight men are more faithful because they had less inclination
towards risky sex.
Market researcher
group Forsa say men of average weight are more than twice as likely to
be unfaithful as fatter men.
Overweight men
are not only less likely to cheat on their partners, but are also less
likely to visit brothels or call sex hotlines.
One thousand
German men between the ages of 31 and 69 were questioned by the researchers.
They found 23%
of men in the "normal" weight category admitted to being interested in
a bit on the side, while just 11% in the "fat" category said they would
cheat on their wives or girlfriends.
A further 19
per cent of men considered "moderately overweight" said they would have
an affair.
The researchers
say that it is not a lack of opportunity that make heavy men a less risky
option, but simply that their wish for risky sex decreases.
Sascha Rusch,
an expert for men's health, said fat men were not less sexually active
than their slimmer counterparts but they "seldom rise to the challenge
of a sexual adventure".
