text: As a woman, I know the answer is generally yes. The difference is that women use more self control than men do. We also tend to prefer an emotional commitment first, whereas most men don't find that necessary. I truly believe it's biological, however. A man can reproduce until he dies, but a woman's reproductive years come to an end (menopause). I understand this to mean that perhaps people were not biologically intended to mate for life, as we assume. Marriage is actually a manmade concept enforced by religions (also manmade). So it would make sense for a man to have a roving eye, although that doesn't necessarily make it acceptable in today's society.
