I am currently enjoying being single, and I have been looking back at my own relationships as well as observing others... and I've noticed that it not only is easier to flirt without the ego presiding over, and sometimes it seems that there is the urge to flirt with others... even and especially when you are already in a healthy relationship.
Any fellow observations or comments?

The healthiest relationships still leave something to be desired. Its no lie when people talk about "biology" and the male need for prey or the female's innate need for pursuit. Women in relationships feel the urge to flirt just as heavily as men do in order to satiate their need for male attention. Once you have something serious, a little part of it gets boring. Flirting outside of the relationship adds to the excitement because not only is it a mini-challenge, but you also have the added benefit of your girlfriend as a safety net, and the ability to flout that you're unavailable to the person you're flirting with....hence increasing their want for you.
Kind of always makes me think of the saying "it doesn't matter where you get your appetite from as long as you come home for dinner". Flirting brings the appetite back to the dinner sometimes....it serves as the ego and confidence booster it once was before you finally nabbed the person you are with, and it also reminds you of what a good thing you have waiting for you back home.

I don't think that we (as males) are programmed to be monogamous. Instead, it's pounded into us by media, by religion, by society, that monogamy is the "right path". I can definitely empathize with you, man. I felt the urge to flirt very strongly, ESPECIALLY when i was already committed.
That's self-control though, you know? I don't think a lot of chicks really appreciate the amount of control that a man needs to exercise over his more "animal" urges to stay faithful all the time.

I agree. I am happily married but find myself flirting occasionally. I'll always be faithful to my husband but it's flattering when other men notice me and naturally, I flirt back. I guess we do it to satisfy our ego.

If you is really in a healthy relationship you will not have the feeling to flirt,because you will have all you need!

It boosts your ego and make you feel desired and wanted by others.
