I doubt it. As far as men are concerned, variety is more important than quality. Most men would rather have three 7s than one 10.

This might not be a good idea but here goes:

Cheating test for men: put him in a room full of attractive models and if he fails the temptation test the alarm will sound. There you have yourself a cheater.

Cheating test for women: have one of your guy friends or family members talk sweet things to her and see how it goes on from there; if the guy already has the approval from the woman he can then inform you and there is another cheater.

Off course this is only hypothetically speaking but it would be a great exam.

What does "fail" mean?

Fantasizes?
Takes off one of those bimbo's clothes and his clothes and gets down on the table? Meanwhile the rest of the bimbo's keep their noses stuck in the iphones on facebook?

What?

So my question is do you think there is any type of effective deterrent to cheating?
Character and integrity. Why would you want to be with someone you had to DETER? Why not pick someone who views it as the nasty thing it is?

Develop a positive, open relationship with your spouse?

The most effective deterrent to cheating is not to be monogamous.

Just re-write the definition of cheating, like if I penetrate less than 95% it isn't cheating (from "definition of 'is' " and the "I didn't inhale" philosophy of smoking pot.)

I agree. If you are with someone who values honesty, trust, and communication - you won't have to "deter" them from cheating. There are no guarantees in life and love - but this is a start.

There should not need to be a deterrant. Anyone who feels a monogomous relationship is not for them should not get into one. Those that feel it is for them should honor that relationship, avoid situations that could result in an "accident" (quotes used on purpose) or end the monogomous relationship with that person before moving on to the next.

People really just need to be honest with themselves and know themselves better.

Besides that, I do not see any viable penalty as being a good deterrant. Already you have people who cheat and risk all kinds of social and financial penalties and hardships over it.
