I have a question for my fellow men. In your opinion how hard is it to be a man? I am specifically referring to one issue here. Let me explain; we always hear about how women have it harder than men in general. While I certainly do not doubt or dispute that I have to say that being a man has some tough aspects as well. Now before I continue I must say that I know I only speak for myself but I'm sure other men out there feel this way even if they do not admit it. So I will say that as men ( at least those who feel this way) it is hard for us to deal with one particular issue and that is our primal instinct of wanting to be with different women. That instinct exists regardless of our marital status. Those men who feel this way must constantly suppress that desire to be with every woman they find highly attractive for obvious reasons such as legal repercussions, ruining a marriage, and society's expectations to name a few. Of course as we age that desire diminishes and even disappears but it is not easy to because men must battle such a demon constantly because it is not something men ask for, it is just there in our genes. My question for the men who don't mind admitting it is; Does this happen to you? And if it does how do you cope with it. Once again only speaking for myself. Other than that I believe being a man is fairly easy

Yes, this is a problem. All healthy men are this way. If you aren't this way, you're either not healthy, gay, or lying. (Brainwashed is under the "not healthy" category.)
You can only do what you can do. In most cases you can't have both, cheaply.
Now, if you have a good imagination, you can "virtually" have both.

Realize monogamy is a recent (past couple thousand years) norm. All our millions of years biological firmware and bios burn in can't be reprogrammed in a few thousand years.

I am not a man however, I can guarantee you that every man I know who is married or with a long term partner will tell you without being gay, telling a lie who are completely healthy and not brainwashed (as you put it) that the women they are with are the only women they want to be with.
If they wanted to be with lots of women they would not be married or in a long term relationship.
I believe that you are misinformed regarding this issue and many men across the planet.
If you have these "urges" and you are in a relationship you should get out of that relationship so your partner can find a man who truly wants to be with only her without having to
"suppress the urge to be with multiple women".
That statement in and of itself it pure hooey.

What makes you think that?
Age doesn't diminish that desire one iota - at least as long as you're not on your deathbed. Does it reduce stamina? Yes, of course, but not desire and not the same instinct that turns your head at age 20 to watch the moves of every attractive woman in visual range.
