[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Given the number of divorces....40%+....plus the number of people who cheat but don’t divorce the better question may be the mindset of the non-cheater. I’m a male, I’ve been married 34 years and I’ve never cheated. Have I been tempted? Of course! I am blessed with a wonderful wife, great kids, good health and money in the bank. We have always had a wonderful sex life so there is no reason for me to cheat. But I have been tempted and have come close to cheating so even with my great life I’ve come close. A less great life and who knows what might have happened. I think the stars have to really be aligned in your favor to not cheat. [/quote]

This exactly.  I wonder if peoplw like OP have a sex drive.  I mean, not a glimmer but a real, strong, at times all consuming drive that most men (and I am sure some women) have.

I was like you, PP.  Then my wife lost all interest in sex, we have a special needs kid so divorce wasn't so easy.  An opportunity presented itself and it was too good to be true (and it was amazing to be sexually satisfied again)

I wonder if people like PP are sex addicts.  [/quote]

PP here, what does that mean?  I am a sex addict because I can't just turn off my sex drive when my spouse is no longer interested?  Or I am not satisfied with a lifetime of masturbation?

If you knew someone who didn't date, just self-pleasured, you would think something was wrong with them.

I know its comforting to think that all CHEATERS are evil, defective, whatever makes you think you can sniff them out.  It would be more productive if you took care of your spouse to guard against cheating than playing amateur DSM-V psychiatrist.[/quote]
