An Australian travel agency conducted a survey of its travelers, who booked online and made some surprising discoveries. They found that 2/3 of the 1000 who booked were willing to have affairs overseas. The also discovered that women were not that far behind the men in considering illicit activities.
What does this information tell us? It tells us that Australians who book overseas flights online are more willing to take risks. It also tells me that many of these people know better, since they are waiting until they are overseas to have an affair. It tells me that the human nature of thinking that “it is okay if no one ever finds out” is still very rampant in some populations. It tells me that if you have a spouse who is a risk taker, you may want to look a little closer at their travel activities. Even in the states, when people travel to locations out of town, they act out in ways they would never do at home, thinking that “no one here knows me”. This kind of situation morality makes the likelihood of affairs greater than those who hold to values that do not change with situations.
