Why Some Men Cheat
It’s a well known, and proven fact, that men love sex. Men think about sex almost every day, and it has been reported that, a large percentage of men, think about sex several times a day. It has also been stated that men’s behaviors are sexually motivated. These statements seem to give men a bad rap. Men are just as capable of being motivated by love, as women. Men do not regularly base their self worth on the amount of sex they get. Men do not gage their attractiveness, or ability to be loved on how committed their sexual relationship is. For men those things are usually linked to how professionally successful they are. Still, if you ask people, more will say that they think men cheat more often than women do.
Between both sexes, it’s hard to say who is more likely to cheat. There are too many variables to consider, and the margin for dishonesty, and error make it almost impossible. What is obvious, is that, a lot of the times, there are very different motivating factors behind the cheating. Men are known for being able to compartmentalize their feelings and actions. They can be having a really bad day, or be in a big fight with their significant other, and still kick butt in the board room. In other words, they can put their feelings on pause and come back to them at a later time. This ability seems to be part of a man’s DNA. Man has been the protector and hunter through out time. He did not have time to concern himself with feelings. This special quality served man very well. It was most likely instrumental to the survival of the human race.
As much as things change, some things stay the same. Men have seemed to hold on to this quality. So men can engage in an intimate action without having to feel intimate. When a man is presented with the temptation of being unfaithful, he doesn’t need his heart to be in agreement. He can also put his feelings of love for another on pause, as well as any guilt that may be threatening to ruin his plans. A man can decide to control his impulse and just not take part in being unfaithful, but he doesn’t have the same emotional pull as a woman would. Being unfaithful may not be appealing to a man. This could be because of his level of feeling or commitment for another, or something else entirely. In this case a man’s self control becomes his pull.
A man will cheat if he is turned down or rejected, enough times, by his partner. This can be said of both sexes, but a man may have a lower threshold on taking rejection than a woman. This can be because men don’t let as many things keep them from being able to enjoy sex as women, so they take it personal, a lot quicker.
Generally men have the capacity to get aroused more easily because their sexual organs are external and can be stimulated easier. Physically speaking a man could feel the need to release that pent up sexual energy on a daily basis, or he could have some physical discomfort. This could cause him to want to have sex, even if, there are other things are going on. So the argument could be that a man needs to have sex, and if his partner refuses him, too often, then a man’s got to do, what he’s got to do.
