Do women and men have affairs for different reasons?

There are some differences in what may lead a woman or a man to having an affair. Often, women are seeking love, intimacy, and emotional closeness. If they're not getting it at home, if there's a lot of emotional distance, if their partner is more concerned with other things, or if they're not feeling valued they may turn to someone else to get that emotional connection and valuing. Men often have affairs because they're sexually bored or they're feeling insecure in that area. Or, they're feeling very entitled and very secure. But often men will have affairs because they're desiring sex and physical closeness.
