[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Men desire to cheat.  I'm not saying that all do.  But if a man is alive, with a pulse, he has thought about it.  The test will be when desire meets opportunity.  It doesn't necessarily make them bad husbands or fathers.  It's how the species survives.  I understand the desire for women to cling fiercely to the notion that this is not some sort of DNA-based urge.  I can say nothing to disabuse them of that notion.  For those of us who understand reality, however, we become increasingly vigilant to protect against predatory females, we work hard to cut off opportunity, and we . . . give great head.[/quote]

It really pisses me off when men say there is an urge for men and don't acknowledge women. Come on, your wife thinks about other men all the time and she's pretty much just as likely to cheat. Women tend to think of the kids more but otherwise, it's fair game.

[b]Women do not have the same DNA-embedded desire to stray. [/b] Just the opposite, actually.  That's why so many women on this board refuse to believe the entire premise of this thread.  Men are programmed to cheat.  It may not have happened to you . . . yet.  If you make it through a lifetime of marriage without him cheating, you are one of the lucky ones.[/quote]

I disagree with this, I think it's more of an individual thing. I'm a DW who notices other men every once in a while and has been tempted to cheat, would probaby go for it in the OP's described scenario, no one would find out, no emotions getting involved etc. It's not because I don't love DH, I adore him and our marriage is great, but the idea of monogamy is not one I've been able to make peace with (yeah I know, I shouldn't have gotten married but hey, there are many things in life we should do that we do). I am able to compartmentalize love, sex, romance, etc. So sleeping with another man or flirting has nothing to do with my love for my DH. It's just pure animalistic sex with a random person, nothing about him concerns me except his body. [/quote]

PP, do you have kids with your DH? Or are they from a previous marriage. Because psychologically, there's a really different drive happening there.[/quote]
