Thousands of men and women have close emotional contact with people outside of their marriage and they do it because they acknowledge and accept they can be interested in and enjoy the company of more than one person at a time. Marriage doesn't have to be something that strangles a persons freedom to interact on an emotional level with other people. A healthy marriage in my opinion, should be about respecting each others right to be individual, but each to their own .. that's just my take on it :)

- Then i guess they have the right to make a choice about their life, however, they do not have the right to cheat or to be dishonest and while on that subject, i would just like to clarify here that my answer was in relation to emotional affairs that the partner is aware of and not affairs carried on through dishonesty and cheating.

There is no way of knowing the exact number as there is no firm definition of an emotional affair to go by at this time.

It's not necessarily about an attraction to the woman. It's usually, 80% of the time, because they are looking for something that is missing within themselves or within their marriage. Looking outside of themselves and/or their marriage is not going to fix it. Then, the problem of having serial affairs and/or affairs with partners after that particular relationship comes into play. They are still looking for that unless it was within the relationship, and they find it in the next one without knowing exactly what "it" was.

The other 20% of the time, it's things like mental illness, addictions, etc. For those, it's still, usually, within themselves but in a physical, not just emotional, way.
