Would you agree that people have a variety of needs or desires? If yes, then would you also agree that it is rather unusual for one person to be able to satisfy all of another person’s needs or desires over years & years?

Just watch any Lifetime movie these days.

When confronted by another Female, then being seduced by her the men ALWAYS give in to seduction.
Not saying that Lifetime movies are actual portrayals of men but who would believe a married man being seduced by another woman then denying her.

That just wouldn’t be believable since that would never happen in real life.

Those that claim that they have never cheated nor would ever cheat just have not had the chance to do so.
Lol.

How many men, if given the opportunity to be w/another woman…..someone they were physically attracted to….and could do so w/out getting caught…..would do so in a heartbeat??!

Unfortunately with all the temptation these days even moral men are tempted too much. Not saying they all will but for instance all the people in my divorce care were married to devout people. Everyone is moral till they aren’t.

This is the correct answer. Seriously.

I am 48 and reasonably attractive man. Almost all men I know have cheated at some point. That doesn't mean "affair and other woman." It could be just ONS at a conference or kissing your co-worker or less than a full blown affair.

Now, at 48, most of us have settled down and actually just hang out.

All of that being said, of course not ALL men cheat. Some are faithful and would never, ever cheat. I think that is about 25% of men.

+1. This is exactly right. Most men cheat, stray, etc., when younger, and then you grow up.

Career, kids, other responsibilities crowd out a bunch of the time and energy you used to spend on activities that could lead to cheating. You have less drive (not none, obviously, just less than a 24 year old). You hopefully have been through enough in life to think more about consequences and care more about potential impact on other people (spouse included) and other aspects of your life. And you just don’t need the headache honestly.

I think the “never cheated” number is way below 25%, though.

Not true. Most men cheat midlife. Look at the statistics. They are much less likely to cheat early in marriage. It’s later in life. Women are the opposite. They cheat earlier. 30s they now cheat on rates higher than men.

I’m in the 40% and I’ll choose to chalk it up to superior values/self control. You’re welcome to call that lack of opportunity.

Two significant things which cause cheating: cutting off sex, and making the man feel insecure in the relationship.

I disagree.

I think one thing causes cheating - a lack of integrity.

If you are unhappy with sexual frequency or the relationship, deal with that. If necessary, get a divorce (or break up if not married), and then have as much sex as you want.

Why on earth would somebody get a divorce over something trivial like being unhappy with marital sex? Since sex is unimportant to your partner, there is no reason for her/him to care when you go do that unimportant thing elsewhere. If you don't want sex AND you are bothered by the idea if your spouse getting that elsewhere, then it's on YOU to initiate the divorce since YOU are the abnormal sexless person.

20% of men are completely unfaithful and cheat as rampantly as possible.

60% of men are generally faithful but have a strong desire to sleep with other women. Whether they remain completely faithful depends on how well their marriage is going combined with an opportunity to stray.

20% of men will never cheat.
