Infidelity- Why Women/Men Cheat

[Xev]

Joeman:

Women cheat because they think they find somebody better but don't have the courage to break up with their old partner in case something don't work out.

Actually, no. Women cheat for many reasons, primarily to combine thier DNA with a wide variety of other genomes, yet still have someone to help raise the children they bear.

Men cheat to spread their genome out as far as possible.

Men are a lot less likely to cheat then women because men usually just dump their women outright for somebody else.

Not according to infidelity statistics. Men are more likely to cheat, or at least to admit to cheating. Men are also less likely to take a cheating partner back.

For Xev

Why should a woman have low self-esteem because she pursues pleasure?

Being in the persuit of pleasure is a physical symbolism of low self esteem and a yearning for gratification. Bonus: a few sexual kicks. Some people collect ceramic dogs, some grow a meticulously shaped garden, you so kindly spread your seed and diseases.

Have you no respect for yourself or for the people whom you use like a condom. Heaven forbid the day your true soulmate walks through the door and you're too busy scoping out your next 'pleasure robot' to find out that there is so much more to the joy of sex than an orgasm.

That pretty much sums it up. We can pretty it up with psychological crap all we want, the most basic impulse is biological.

Really Beth? And you've been there, and you know, of course? Not only that, you know why everyone does it?

Heaven forbid the day your true soulmate walks through the door and you're too busy scoping out your next 'pleasure robot' to find out that there is so much more to the joy of sex than an orgasm.

My "true soulmate" (I'd prefer to call them "preferred partner" - I don't believe in a soul, nor do I believe there is only one person on the planet who can satisfy my every desire) will know exactly what I've been doing and why I've been doing it, and with any luck will have been doing the same thing. If they prove to be satisfactory in bed for the rest of my life, there is a chance I might even become monogamistic (unlikely, though).

"Heaven forbid" the day you put your bible down, stop watching Oprah and actually start thinking, Beth.
