Which part made you puke. The fact that gender, instinct and procreation may be a factor in male promiscuity or the part where I added "just joking" as a suffix.

The topic of promiscuity is of course subject to debate but it is not so pukeable as you may think and does have the support of of many in the scientific community. http://www.newscientist.com/channel/...ine-news_rss20

I stand by my defence. It's not my fault darling the problem is in my jeans.

whatever happened to that superior dominant (self)control
Not sure domination is about self control. Take note of the tagline to my nick, "Do What Thou Wilt". That was the motto of the notorious Hellfire Club. I do not consider myself to be a bdsm Dom. The usa style bdsm largely born out of the gay leather community is not where I am coming from, I prefer far older models and codes.
The part where men plead "primitive procreation urge" as an excuse for cheating. Frankly, as a man, don't you find that insulting...it suggests that only women have evolved from the "cave days"?

Here is an extract from the article I mentioned, hubby telling his story:

"This time two years ago, my wife and I were staying in a hotel in Rome together. I was there on business, and Stephanie asked her mother to look after the children so that she could fly out to join me.

I remember sitting on the balcony of our hotel after dinner, thinking I had everything a man could wish for - a beautiful wife, two gorgeous sons, a lovely house and a well-paid and challenging career.

If someone had told me then that I was about to risk it all for the sake of an affair, I'd never have believed them.

I'm not trying to make excuses for myself. There are none. The bottom line is I met a woman I found attractive, and I slept with her. I could go on about how overwhelming my feelings were at the time, and how I couldn't help myself succumbing to them. But I'd be deceiving myself.

Any husband, or wife, who cheats on their spouse at some point takes a conscious decision to do so. If you don't want to risk destroying your marriage, you walk away from temptation. I know now I should have done that the moment I first realised I was falling for Kate, my work colleague.

I will always be sorry I didn't. Instead, I deluded myself that I was in love, behaving more like a reckless teenager than a middle-aged father of two."
