    Not condoning it, just telling you what the experts say: I heard a number of psychologists state that often, to a man, that having sex with someone other than their spouse is an activity like playing tennis, baseball, or reading - it's simply something else to do and has little emotional value other than they had the urge. Society regards it as wrong but the biology of many man urges men to have as many partners as they can to 'spread their seed'. So that's it a struggle between biology and man made societal norms - what's stronger?

    You need to look at your question a little more closely. It being "alright" to cheat I don't think enters any one's mind. But you are talking about starving men who don't even know that they are starving. Men are biologically polygamous. If most men don't get variety in some manner, topless bars, net porn, they tend to react to many different things adversely and they don't even know why they are reacting that way. He is being an *** around the house and you don't know why. he won't even know why but it is a biological manifestation. So if he has an affair in some manner it has nothing to do with it being "alright" it is simply a biological reaction to an untenable situation religion and society has put men. If you can explain the 60% divorce rate. Men are scum doesn't work. We are scum, but that doesn't explain it.

    As a child, I was pretty much trained, programmed and conditioned to accept that I should get laid everywhere and with anyone possible - including while married. Many married guys had wild stories of their sexual adventures behind the wife's back and there was also a kind of 'contempt for mom' attitude in our family so it really didn't matter if the wife was a little 'put off' by a roving (we never heard the word Cheater) hubby so longs he brought home some money!

    I'm glad that I learned better since then.

    In today society i think its equal cheating from men and women. I think if you love and specially if you respect the person you have next to you as a partner you don't.

    If you do then they must be problems in your sexual life in your marriage or your relationship, you not happy with your partner or your life and its an owner to be honest and straightforward to brake up with your partner first and then go find somebody else, or try to find the real problem in your relationship and fix it.It takes balls and allot of work .

    this was a very unintelligent question.

    men aren't the only ones who cheat love :]

    and on that note, you shouldn't let a couple bad eggs ruin a whole gender. Lots of men are faithful, loving companions. And many woman are selfish and cheat.... so, think through what you're trying to ask next time. Perhaps, "why do all the men I date cheat on me?" and if thats the case, dont ask us, as them.

    It's not alright to cheat. It is disgusting, degrading, and a sin against God. I've been married for almost 25 years and I have never cheated.

    I must say I applaud the men with morals tonight! Honestly I feel men who cheat are very insecure within.

    It is not alright, it is never alright. It is weak, immature and shows a great lack of respect for the one you supposedly love. It is best to tell the truth if you want out of your relationship. Be a man and grow up!

    Well, I don't feel that it's all right to cheat in any type of relationship. When i'm in one, I'm committed, and give my love to her. If I ever cheat I don't know how I can live with myself, you know?
