ORIGINAL: SweetDommes Same reason as anyone else does it - because they are jerks. Male, female, dominant, submissive, switch, straight, gay, bi ... doesn't matter - they each give a different reason for why they cheat, but it all boils down to the fact they are selfish jerks. They do it because human beings weren't meant to be monogamous. It's not in our DNA to be attached to one person for the rest of our lives. Sex with someone who isn't your partner can provide new experiences, validation, increased self-esteem and a chance to get away from the baggage... particularly if you happened to be moored to a creature who doesn't give you space, attention, or orgasms. If monogamy is important to you, find someone who values it too. But don't expect it from the entire human race. Oh so we're all slaves to our DNA? [8|] Bullshit. Not "slaves", no. But it is true that, from a psychological and social perspective, human beings have, historically, not been monogamous - monogamy is a construct of a more modern society (or, to put it in context, tribe). Actually, it's a construct of some more modern societies. It's not intrinsically or automatically "us". Now of course some people slip into it with little or no issues, whereas for others it comes to them later in life, and for some it's something they neither want, nor aspire to.
