I agree with you. Women can push sex under the table. I can at least. But for men, it's totally different. They need sex. So if they are not getting it in their relationship, they are going to start looking elsewhere.

I can't answer that one, being a woman. I can tell you that the lack of sex is likely to make men stray that normally wouldn't.

It says that good sex alone is not enough to keep some men from cheating, but that was not exactly Woof's question/point.

Is good sex alone enough to keep a man from cheating? Obviously, the answer to that is no in many instances. But when "sex has gone dry" (as Woof initially discussed), you can bet that cheating is much more likely.

I suspect that great sex diminishes the chance of a man cheating, but nothing will entirely prevent prevent a man (or woman) from cheating. The issues leading up to infidelity -- and the people involved in it -- are much too complex for there to be any one, sure-fire cure all.

Some guys are just piggish enough to want more than what they have at home. It's way too easy to put the blame on the woman (which is what is happening here).

A cheater is a cheater is a cheater.

My statement applies to women as well as men.

Nonsense. This is a laughingly simplistic bromide that has nothing to say about the complexities that lead people to marital infidelity.

Well, my post does too. I was just going with the flow of the thread - Man straying from woman.

Really? lol.

So are you saying a cheater is not really a cheater? What is a cheater then, professor?

I agree with Professor's comment, Spinx.

Your statement was a simplistic bromide.

Your hackneyed "a cheater is a cheater" statement imparts ethical equivalency to the lonely old coot who strikes up an affair with a dear old widowed friend after his frigid wife hasn't touched him decades to the reckless hound dog who chases gals every Saturday night at the local pool hall while his loving wife is at home with the kids.

Before one paints with a such a broad and simplistic brush, I would kindly suggest that context matters a very great deal.
