“Sex Fell Off After Kids” – 10 Men Share Why They Strayed — Relationship
In this article

Balázs (27): I Was Young and Dumb

We were out partying with the guys when a beautiful girl started flirting with me, and I kissed her while drunk. I felt guilty and confessed to my girlfriend the next day. She was upset, but we got past it in a few weeks. I haven’t cheated since. 

Norbi (24): I Can’t Help Myself

Several ex-girlfriends told me I’m not a good partner because I can’t control my urges—and honestly, they’re right. I can’t stay monogamous long-term. When a pretty girl shows interest, I don’t say no just because I’m not single. 

Bence (32): I Love the Chase

No matter how great a relationship starts, the magic fades eventually. I love the thrill of the hunt. With a lover, there’s never an excuse like being tired or having a headache—every meeting ends with amazing sex. 

Ákos (38): I Cheated Emotionally

I never cheated sexually, but I had a long relationship that was hard to end. For months, I felt emotionally drawn to another woman. I saw that as cheating and lost sleep over it, but it turned out well—she became my wife. 

Karesz (36): Sex Fell Off After Kids

After our daughter was born, intimacy with my wife disappeared for a long time. Even after, it happened maybe once a month, and I was always the one to initiate. It feels like she just wants to get it over with because she’s always tired. I understand and still love her, but since then, I’ve been getting my needs met elsewhere. 

Pali (19): Out of Revenge

I started dating my first girlfriend at 15, and we were the high school dream couple. I was shocked when I found out she was seeing someone else behind my back—learned it from my friends, and the whole school laughed at me. Since then, I’ve had a few relationships but cheated on every one. I guess I was getting revenge without realizing it. 

Mátyás (33): I Regret It

I know it’s no excuse, but my relationship with my fiancée was rough, and work was stressful. When an ex reached out, we started sexting and eventually met up. It was awful afterward—I hated myself for being unfaithful to someone I love just for a few minutes of pleasure. I never told her, but it was a hard lesson to never let it happen again.

Peti (23): I Couldn’t Handle the Long-Distance

My girlfriend went abroad to study, and I behaved well the first year. But later, mostly due to pressure from friends, I didn’t turn down advances from other girls. The long-distance relationship didn’t work; the feelings faded—not just because of my flings. I’ll never do long-distance again; it just doesn’t work for me. 

András (44): I Pay for Sex

I’ve been married for 20 years and still adore my wife, but our sex life isn’t very exciting anymore. So sometimes I hire escorts to explore sexual fantasies I’d never ask or dare to share with my wife. Despite this, or maybe because of it, our marriage is strong and balanced. I know we’ll grow old together. 

Zoltán (25): Switched to a More Beautiful Woman, But We Got Back Together

A few years ago, while with my girlfriend, a stunning woman I’d been crazy about as a teen started sending clear signals. I couldn’t resist. We met secretly at first, then I came clean and started a new relationship. My girlfriend freaked out and dated around for six months. When my intense fling cooled after eight months, we got back together—and have been going strong for four years now.
