Maybe he just like variety. I know another guy that would cheat on his wife given the chance but he gets no sex at home. There are many reasons why people do the things they do. I don't think that we can boil it down to 3 or 4 reasons why someone cheats.Ramsey's reply is a perfect example of how men and women see sex differently; women have this emotional attachment to sex, where men think of it as a purely physical act. Men are visual and physical and woman are more long-term and emotionalthinking. For women, the act of sex - usually - is a totallyemotional thing. For men, it is simply getting their rocks off and nothing more. To women, it is a true violation of our realtionship; to men, it is simply getting off without having to beat off.
If my husband or BF got hammered one night and cheated, I could live with that a lot easier than an affair. If he cheated for a length of time and had a full relationsip with another woman, that would tear me apart. I think I would also rather he did have a one night stand than an emotional affair with another women but didn't have sex. Sex for men can be such a basic thing. They fuck someone just for the physical pleasure but it has nothing to do with how they feel about them or their wife.
