Actually it has more to do with HER sex drive. If he's not getting enough at home, a lot of guys will seek it elsewhere. I'm not saying it's her fault, just that her actions, or lack of actions, are what leads him to cheat. And this example is not applicable to those men that simply have to bone every woman they see. Those guys are pigs and nothing will prevent them from cheating. I'm talking about committed relationships here.

Actually, it has nothing to do with whether he will cheat or not. The way he was brought up, his integrity as a man, his beliefs, and his level of devotion to his partner all affect whether he will cheat or not. How his partner treats him will also determine it. If he does a one night stand type of thing, it is often just for the sex that she provides him but if it is an ongoing affair, he is getting something emotionally from this woman that his partner is not providing.....Basically, there are lots of different factors at work when somebody cheats, not just their sex drive.

No. It is entirely depended on his temperament and the treatment he gets from his wife.
A man who looks at relationships as a challenge or a game to be won will probably cheat, because once he is in a relationship, he longs for the next challenge. He may be raised to look at women as property and not fellow human beings. Unfortunately, this still occurs in this day and age, and these men will cheat until they realize that they are going to die alone someday.
A man who is not inclined to cheat may do so if in an abusive relationship. There are many men in abusive relationships that have no other options than to try and "find a way out." No one in the legal system seems to even recognize that men can be abused just like women, so these men have even fewer options. Many are actually accused of abuse, then told that "I won't put you in jail if you just obey."
Sex drive has nothing to do with it.

There are a billion excuses for cheating but it all really comes down to one concept. The cheater does not care how it will affect their partner. That means they have some serious issues with their moral fortitude. This goes for men and women. I have a high sex drive but I also have control over my actions. I've gone as much as 8 months without sex and I'm still sane and physically healthy.

No--sex drive in a man doesn't have too much to do with cheating. It's always wanting something more, something you don't have. Cheating actually deals with the big head, not the little one.
Trust me when I say this--my husband cheated on me several times, yet we always had the "perfect" sex life--even after I discovered his infidelity. His main affair partner was an ugly and pathetic and stupid old woman that praised and worshiped him to the moon--that's what he was after. I know, because I found and read all of their e-mails. He wanted a mama, not a wife.

I think sex drive is a big excuse to cheat. It is used because the cheater is having sex. I think it is his morals and respect for the person he loves, if he will cheat or not. I know many men who are not getting there quota of sex and do not cheat. And i think we are all tempted at times, but that don't mean we act out on them.

Whether he has a low or high sex drive is irrelevant to whether or not he'll cheat. Men cheat because they are unhappy, insecure, depressed or for other psychological reasons. Sometimes unhappiness in the marriage fuels the likelihood that he'll cheat and other times cheating is purely driven by his own insecurities and wanting to feel better about himself.

Not as much as his lack of morals will contribute to it.
If he has a higher sex drive than you, it's something you really need to talk about and work on, though. He may be one of those men who can accept it and it is not a major issue. They do exist, take heart, not all men are governed by the little head instead of the big head.

Yes! It always happens to me alot. I reallly don't want to cheat, before my wife, but sometimes, when I am alone at home, my sister-in-law in sexy tight white pants [5'4" @ 110 lbs] come to my house, asking where is my wife and kiddos. Thus provoking me to death lol haha This is temptation at its extreme greatest! I try extremely hard to maintain self control in an uncontrollable situation. My mind is like racing at a thousand miles per hour. I really respect my sister-in-law, but I wish she would not do this to me, because I can get into alot trouble. She knows this. But I guess, a woman does what a woman does-its the hormones that sometimes, take over ones thoughts. The desire to cheat, when the opportunity arises, in perfect timing, at a perfect place. lol haha

No. If his sex drive was that strong why would he marry in the first place, outside of the obvious answers.
Marriage is a commitment, both parties have to make it work and it usually involves compromise. If someone is unfaithful, its more than just sex drive involved.
