Look away or you will cheat

-

PEOPLE whose gaze lingers longer on an attractive man or woman are more likely to cheat, it is claimed.

Psychologi­sts found those who looked away a few hundred millisecon­ds faster than average were 50% less likely to have sex outside marriage.

This “attentiona­l disengagem­ent” also helps marriages last longer.

Jim Mcnulty, of Florida State University, said: “The processes are spontaneou­s and may be shaped by childhood experience­s.”
