Are men really more likely to have affairs than women? And what can discreet dating platforms tell us about relationships that traditional surveys might miss?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These questions generate millions of conversations, but the statistics used to answer them are often surprisingly difficult to compare.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To bring more clarity to the subject, Sasha7 has introduced a comprehensive <a href=\"https:\/\/sasha7.com\/infidelity-statistics\/\">Infidelity Statistics 2026 research resource<\/a>, combining independent academic findings, published relationship studies and original insights from its own platform.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The new research includes an analysis of <strong>1,046,369 registrations across Brazil, the United States, Australia and Canada<\/strong>, recorded over a 365-day period ending in October 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">And some of the patterns are worth exploring.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"women-account-for-nearly-one-in-four-registrations\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Women account for nearly one in four registrations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Across the four countries analyzed, Sasha7 recorded:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-table\"><table class=\"has-fixed-layout\"><tbody><tr><th>Country<\/th><th>Total registrations<\/th><th>Female share<\/th><\/tr><tr><td>Brazil<\/td><td>643,430<\/td><td>21.6%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>United States<\/td><td>298,060<\/td><td>25.9%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Australia<\/td><td>78,250<\/td><td>25.9%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td>Canada<\/td><td>26,629<\/td><td>21.9%<\/td><\/tr><tr><td><strong>Combined<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>1,046,369<\/strong><\/td><td><strong>23.2%<\/strong><\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The results reveal differences in the gender composition of registrations across markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Women accounted for approximately 26% of registrations in the United States and Australia, compared with around 22% in Brazil and Canada.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That doesn&#8217;t necessarily mean women in one country are more likely to seek affairs than women in another. Advertising, brand awareness, acquisition channels and platform demographics can all influence who registers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">What the data does show is that the gender balance of interest in a discreet dating platform is far from identical across markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"a-look-at-300-cities\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">A look at 300 cities<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Beyond national registration totals, Sasha7 analyzed activity across <strong>300 cities<\/strong>, accounting for approximately <strong>870,432 registrations<\/strong>, or 83% of the four-country total.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That geographic detail creates opportunities to examine how registration patterns differ between metropolitan areas and smaller communities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, an important distinction applies: platform registrations are not equivalent to infidelity rates.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A city with more Sasha7 registrations isn&#8217;t necessarily a city with more unfaithful residents. Population size, local marketing investment, demographics and platform awareness all matter.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The city data is best understood as an analysis of discreet dating activity <strong>within Sasha7<\/strong>, rather than a ranking of which cities have the most cheating.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"the-bigger-question-are-men-or-women-more-likely-to-cheat\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">The bigger question: Are men or women more likely to cheat?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Platform registrations offer one perspective, but broader questions about infidelity require independent population research.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For example, an analysis published in 2025 using U.S. General Social Survey data found that <strong>11% of ever-married men and 14% of ever-married women aged 25\u201354<\/strong> reported having had extramarital sex while married. The observed difference was not statistically significant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That doesn&#8217;t establish that women cheat more than men overall. It illustrates why the answer depends on the population, period and definition of infidelity being studied.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sexual affairs, emotional attachments and secret digital relationships are not always measured in the same way.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These distinctions are explored in the new <a href=\"https:\/\/sasha7.com\/infidelity-statistics\/\">Sasha7 infidelity statistics guide<\/a>, which links directly to its underlying academic and survey sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"ai-is-adding-another-dimension-to-discreet-relationships\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">AI is adding another dimension to discreet relationships<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The research resource also examines the role of artificial intelligence in modern relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a separate 2026 voluntary survey of <strong>1,087 adult Sasha7 users<\/strong> in the United States, Australia and Canada:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>44%<\/strong> reported using AI in connection with an affair or discreet relationship.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>31%<\/strong> reported using AI to write or improve messages.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>18%<\/strong> reported using AI to explain suspicious circumstances.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">These findings describe the surveyed Sasha7 users, not the general population.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Nevertheless, they illustrate how digital tools are entering aspects of relationships that were once almost entirely interpersonal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Read the original <a href=\"https:\/\/sasha7.com\/blog\/ai-infidelity-survey\/\">AI and infidelity survey<\/a> for the full findings and methodological limitations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"why-sasha-7-is-publishing-more-of-its-research\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Sasha7 is publishing more of its research<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Operating a discreet dating platform provides Sasha7 with a particular perspective on how adults explore privacy, attraction and relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But access to platform data also creates a responsibility to distinguish what the numbers actually show from what people might assume they mean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That is one reason Sasha7 has expanded its <a href=\"https:\/\/sasha7.com\/research\/\">Research Hub<\/a>, bringing together original member surveys, regional analyses, relationship research and supporting methodology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The company has also introduced a dedicated <a href=\"https:\/\/sasha7.com\/editorial-policy\/\">Editorial Policy and Research Standards<\/a> page outlining its approach to attribution, transparency, source evaluation and corrections.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Together, these resources are intended to make Sasha7&#8217;s published findings more accessible and easier to scrutinize.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 id=\"what-can-one-million-registrations-really-tell-us\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">What can one million registrations really tell us?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The most interesting conclusion may be that there is no single number capable of explaining infidelity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">One million platform registrations can reveal substantial patterns in who signs up for discreet dating services, where they register and how those patterns vary across markets.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">They cannot tell us what percentage of married people cheat, establish national prevalence or reveal the private motivations of every registrant.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Those questions require different research methods and sources.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">By bringing original platform analysis and published research into the same reference library\u2014while keeping their limitations visible\u2014Sasha7 hopes to contribute more useful evidence to conversations about modern relationships.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Explore the resources:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><a
