At least this one seems to manage to discover that being faithful has very little to do how strong you think you are to resist and how convinced you are your principles are diamond solid, but lots to do, how you handle the situations.
Of course, principles are worth nothing if you can't stick to them.
A bit different point: many people honestly believe they can stick to the principles. Always. IMHO this is a complete BS for probably ++99% population with normal sexual needs. It's all about the circumstances. If they are right, this majority would cheat. The trick to be faithful is simply to avoid certain situation rather than believe one has some strong principles and can always resist.
Yes, this is biological, by design. Men are by nature, by design, programmed to try and spread their genes as far and wide as possible. Women on the other hand are programmed to choose the best man possible.
In animal kingdom the way this works is the males have a fight and then the strongest male gets to mate with all the females. A bit like Genghis khan, the best genes survive and the weak ones are not allowed to grow.
We have created this civilization which is actually awesome for weak men because now strong men can have only one wife
. But the inherent nature of men can never go away.
