At parties and on internet message boards, it's an unpopular position to opine that, in general, men have a stronger or more insistent sexual urge than women -- a fact which explains many male social behaviors. Women (in my experience) and some men will often argue stridently against this position, with the unspoken upshot of their position seeming to be that, since it is not a physiological difference, men are inherently morally weak.
What is the general opinion of the skeptics and other members here? Are men who are married, or in long term relationships, driven to cheat on their partners more often than women? Are men more likely to seek out multiple sexual partners? And if so, is it because of physiological, that is anatomical or hormonal, differences? Or are social issues and enculturation processes in a patriarchal society at fault?
All questions and matters related to the above are considered on-topic here. Scientific data is certainly welcome, but so are anecdotes and opinions, which is why I've opted to put this in the Social Issues forum instead of the Science forum.
My own opinion is that yes, in general, men "cheat" more and are more likely to seek multiple partners. This distinction is largely physiological in origin, owing to a number of anatomical factors including the surface area of our external genitalia, the aggression-inducing qualities of testosterone, and the volume of our sexual fluids, which need to be released on a regular basis (rather than, say, monthly) for reasons of physical comfort and psychological peace.
What do you all think?
