Why do You Cheat?

I wrote this (Link) before the whole Arnold thing came to light but it just goes to show you that most men will stray at some point in their life.

Why do you stray???? Has it only been in the hobby? Have you ever been caught?

Personally...(and here is my denial and rationalization). Its genetic. Take it back to time primordial when our species needed to spread the seed. Men would go to the river bank, raid, rape, pillage and take. This is how we insured hybrid vigor, its how we insured diversity.
Fast forward to modern man... the genetic code is still there. It just is. We learn how to contain ourselves but with the yoke of rules and societies norms. Which of course is necessary.
But there isnt a man with decent levels of testosterone that wont partake if he knows he wont get busted. No one in their right mind wants to hurt a loved one. No one with a good relationship wants to ruin it.... i said "right mind"
But having said that, the inexorable pull toward new strange is overwhelming at times. Variety is good. Hurting a loved one is bad. Hence the dilemma.
I love variety... i love the feel of a new woman. But i love my family more... so i will never cheat with a civvie. Thank the gods for providers.

I've never cheated....
I was chatting with a retired provider about this very subject. Or more to the point about lying to Mrs. SRO. She thinks if I continue to stay married to Mrs. SRO I should stop lying about it. I countered that I am not prepared for that turmoil. Granted doing it first rather than her finding out I've been playing around might make some sense. I tend to think of myself as honest and a straight shooter except in this one arena of my life. As to the reason(s) for straying she is older than me by a considerable amount (she know cougar before it came into being). Her drive has diminished. Lastly she used to like/love my oral. In the past bunch of years she declines it for a variety of reasons. I hear "no thanks" enough that I almost don't bother offering. Whereas my "dates" (either professional or sugar babies) seem to think my oral is okay. Mrs. SRO has been suspicious of late so I have tempered my chatting. I have a feeling she thinks something is going on. And obviously rightly so. As to how long? Hmmm nothin' new. And Alex I liked the blog post. It was really timely in my case.

I personally believe this is the reason men stray. I tried to find the study, but couldn’t. Several years ago I read that 80% of all the white males in Europe were genetically linked to 10 different genetic lines. Apparently only the males can be traced because of the X chromosome. That’s a lot of seed to spread.

Why do women cheat? Just like men, a variety of reasons, but I believe it centers around security or raw sexual desire. I have read that when a woman is thinking sexually she will choose a good looking man and consider his social / financial status very little. If she is considering a man for any other reason, his social and financial status is paramount and looks are far down the list.

After twenty + years of being told "no" or "tomorrow" way more than "well, OK," I have to answer with another question. . . who's cheating whom?

true. and also, some people prefer to be lied to. That said i am all supportive of escort-client relationships when it comes to this, its a way of acting responsible for other peoples lives. But what i do judge is men dating women for free and having them as secret lovers and make them pay all the emotional debth. And i do not understand (mostly mono) women who would do that anyway. I think monogamy is way too complicated with all its hypocrisies and intricacies. I prefer it simple therefor i am poly :-)

I have been married twice. First one lasted 4 years before she started seeing the mailman. Second passed away six years ago. Never had I thought of cheating. But, I understand the reasoning behind it. But it should be something that has been thought about before its done. We all have that little voice back there that says " hey, are you sure this is what you want to do?" Its whether we listen to it that matters........I have had the same voice, I can say that the voice is usually right. Or in my case it has been, I just chose not to listen to it...............Kind of wished I had.
