We all look, we all desire, it's human. People who say they stop even that because they fall in love with someone are lying and usually to themselves. I think it's hard, but healthier if couples can just laugh about it and call it, eye candy, or whatever. And then go home and have your way with your SO. I tell every girl I date, especially the jealous types, that f some hot woman walks in, I won't stare and be rude, but I'll probably notice her. Just like every other guy and probably half the women in the room will too.

Acting is where I draw the line. If you really care about who you are with, you can't act on it.

Healthy adults will always find other people attractive.

But people in love, who genuinely respect their partners and themselves, do not cheat. They do not even put themselves in situations where the opportunity to cheat can present itself.

It's that simple.

You cannot be worried about if your partner is likely to cheat...The only person you can have complete control with, is yourself. Because every male is different, contrary to what many think. Some men have uncontrollable urges, while other have none.....every possible level of desire and restraint is in between. That's a lot to worry about....it's impossible to police, or control. So you are back to what can a person do, to lessen the chances of cheating. Well you can be someone who eliminates doubt. Be the best person you can be....for your partner, and importantly, for yourself. If he is worth the effort, you can be a girlfriend who he would never think of cheating on. That takes dedication, and frankly, IMO if your relationship needs to have such one sided dedication, that relationship isn't even worth the effort.

And if so how far will you go? Online chatting with strangers, escorts, strippers, porn, facebooking women, skyping strangers, do you have actual affairs? What do you do please be honest! Should I worry or trust my partner, he is very honest and open and I'm trying to understand a mans psychology but this is very difficult because as a woman I can say that I don't have any of these urges...

No I've never cheated on my wife. Never talked to another woman in anything more than a business or at some gathering type setting and that was either work or hey how's the family/work type talk. Not every man is a cheater. Now I have looked at a woman say she's walking down the way and is just putting herself out there. No I'm not gonna shut my eyes. Turn and walk the other way. But I'm not gonna drool and wolf whistle. She's just there in my field of view.
I have had women give me major hints they would be open to playing around and I had chances to do if I wanted to. Never once was I tempted in the least. But then I respect myself and my wife.

Way I see it if your SO is gonna cheat there just isn't anything you can do about it. They are the ones who are gonna have to live with the guilt. And eventually it comes out
Hell I've never even dated two women at once

I don't believe men have uncontrollable urges were they must cheat. Imo it's a choice made

There are guys out there who flat out will nail anything with a vagina. Weather they are in a relationship or not. If your guy is with you but he's checking out women, has lots of schedule changes, doesn't call you by name, cancels at last minute, makes you call before coming over those are all signs.

Kind of. It's more difficult to control your urges if you have a higher level of testosterone, which is not a choice.

Depends on what you mean by "urge". If by urge you mean jumping into bed with the next attractive woman you meet, the answer is no. In fact, I think most guys would not be into that. But if by urge you mean do men notice a pretty woman and say "hmmmm" to themselves? Yes, all men do that.

Men cheat only if something is wrong with the relationship or is missing.
Make sure you make your boyfriend happy and keep him happy.
Resolve any issue you guys have has to be resolved
Sexual Pleasures
Finances
Shared of responsibilities
Making sure to be there for each other.
Stop distancing each other
Have good communication
and so on....

That way you can reduce the cheating. Any guy has the choice to weather cheat or not in general. From what I seen the ones who are very satisfied and happy with their girlfriend/wife are the ones that don't cheat and have no urges as well

I don't find it difficult at all. What I do find difficult is committing in the first place, but when I do, I find it easy to commit. She has to be freaking perfect though. I'm considered good looking, so I have a lot of options with women so to speak. Women approach me in bars, I don't need to approach them. Point being as a single man I have options crawling out of the ground. A woman would have to be wonder woman in a wonder bra to make me give that up. Not trying to conceited it's just reality in relation to options.

Ironically in a relationship, I've never cheated and never will despite being cheated on (might have something to do with lack of commitment, something I don't consider to be an "issue", maybe later in life dunno.

when i date a woman exclusively, then she is the ONLY woman in the world to me. when i am with my lady, i dont even look at other women as they dont interest me.
