It is natural for men to find other woman attractive while in a committed, healthy, happy, strong relationship? I have read elsewhere that this is normal, and often a phase for men in their mid 20's, perhaps throughout their lives, even. Any feedback, advice would be thoroughly appreciated. Thanks in advance-
Just because one is in a committed relationship does not mean they cannot appreciate the beauty of another human.
It is not limited to men either and there is nothing about any part of a relationship that is limited to men or women.

Speaking for myself, I never cheated on either of my wives, but always admired the beauty of beautiful looking people. I think that is a natural thing for either of the sexes.

I agree 110%, for both men and women. Thank you. My SO was unsure if this was unfair to me.
I guess my next part of the question would be, Having curiosity about other women? Wondering what it's like to date someone else? Is this normal/ natural?
All people can find people outside of their relationships 'attractive.'

It is what one does with their recognition of someone outside of their relationship as attratcitve that can be a problem.
If someone often or frequently has feelings making them curious about others outside of their relationship, having desires for others, etc, it is not likely overly healthy for your relationship. (What it "means" could be varied, such as not being satisfied in your current relationship).
This is where it gets difficult, as we have been dating for 6 years. We started dating fairly young, however we have matured tremendously and the strength and happiness in our relationship is as best as it could be. I say this without doubt. I know from the pits of my heart when he tells me he loves me more than I ever will know and would do anything for me, he means it. We laugh until we cry together, are there unconditionally for each other on life's rough days and all together, just have a happy, otherwise healthy relationship. I only ask if it is natural/ normal to have these feelings as we haven't seriously dated other people besides each other. It's hard to comprehend dropping a perfect relationship for such a reason.
There is no such thing as perfect relationship. I think wondering if the grass is greener because one is curious is fairly normal but it can lead one down a wrong path very quickly. If a person wonders if the grass is greener, because they think they can do better, chances are their current relationship is bound to fail, because of all their destructive thoughts and behavior such stance would bring about. Modern worlds narcissism, entitlement and overgrown egos often have a person believe they deserve nothing but the best, while in reality they deserve what they get.
