Why Do Men Cheat? Why Men Really Cheat

There exists an overabundant amount of information available on the topic of male cheating, which is perfectly appropriate given the amount of reasons people come up with to explain why. It is all smoke upon fog upon mist, covering up a very basic truth about men's behaviors and the core of why men cheat.

First off, any article, book or DVD on "why men cheat" authored by a woman should be thrown out. It contains no validity. I'm not writing an article on "why women cheat" because I'm not a woman and I don't have the audacity to think that I know what a woman thinks. I am male, however, and do know how a male thinks.

Even if a book or DVD is made by a woman who's expertise is extramarital affairs, she holds a Ph.D. from Harvard, and the entirety of her "research" is comprised of actual interviews with male cheaters-- her expertise is useless. Throw it out. Don't buy it. She knows absolutely not what she speaks of.

The truth is, there is no need to do interviews, research, brain scans or anything ludicrous of the sort. If you have a female "expert" approach a male cheater and ask him why he does so, you're going to get a filtered, unpure answer. The truth is going to start in his brain, travel down a few synapses, reconfigure when taking into consideration who it is asking, and then come out of his mouth significantly changed. When a man hears another man has cheated, there is no need to ask why. When men across the country heard the news about Tiger Woods-- and then the following news, and the following news, no man needed to know why. However, every man-- including golfers, athletes, and regular joes dared not do anything, say anything, or think anything because of the outrage brewing in every female. We all stood there, with our arms crossed shaking our heads. But we weren't shaking our heads at Tiger Woods' infidelity. We were shaking our heads at his gluttonous overindulgence and reckless stupidity.

The truth is simple.

Men cheat because they are horny. There is nothing else to figure. Take the woman expert away. Let the male cheater look himself in the mirror and tell himself why he did it. He did it because he was horny. Tiger Woods did it because he was horny. Kobe Bryant did it because he was horny. Elliot Spitzer did it because he was horny. Bill Clinton did it because he was horny. All the men who ever had sexual intercourse with a woman other than their own did it because they were horny. There was nothing to think about. There was no emotion involved. It was not about feeling powerful, or feeling free, or feeling anything except penetration. It was about having a hard erection inside the pants that needed release, and if you don't know by now-- men get them quite often.

Women need to understand one thing: for men, there is no emotion involved with sex. I repeat: for men, there is NO EMOTION involved with sex. Generally, men do indeed love their wives or girlfriends. Genuine love. A love so great they'd give their lives to save their womens'. But a man can have sex with a mistress and not lose one ounce of love for his wife. I repeat: a man can have sex with a mistress and STILL GENUINELY LOVE HIS WIFE. There is no emotion involved with sex, for men. It is an animal act. It is strictly carnal pleasure. If you don't believe me, look at the history of time. Any indication that men associate emotion with sex is false and was probably perpetuated by a woman. If a man hires a prostitute for sex, he's not doing it because he needs to feel powerful, safe, or needs attention. HE'S DOING IT BECAUSE HE'S HORNY.

This topic needs to stop being over-thought. Stop over-thinking it because men sure aren't. All the experts, the research, the psychology involved-- it's all spearheaded by women or by men afraid of telling women to knock it off. There is no need for it. Men have sex for physical pleasure. If they happen to be having it with a woman they love it's all the more enjoyable, but they can just as easily and just as enjoyably have it with a total stranger. It doesn't mean they love the stranger. It doesn't even mean they like the stranger. They can actually hate the stranger but still have sex with her. Why? BECAUSE IT'S STRICTLY PHYSICAL.

Forget all the books, DVD's, TV specials, and anything else out there promising to get to the intellectual reason behind cheating. There is no intellectual reason. Sometimes the most brilliant things are the most simple, and in this case everyone is trying to find the scientific data of a rock. It's just a rock. Stop trying to find it's brain. It's like bringing in a team of NASA scientists to study why a dog keeps humping your leg. IT'S HORNY!

Men eat. Men sleep. Men fall in love. And men have sex. None are related.
