Some guys are weak

While women are by no means immune from lustful temptation, men struggle with such temptations to a much greater degree. Far more men commit adultery than women.

In premarital relationships, men are far more likely to stray from their partners than women. Even the Bible attests to this. While the jury is still out there concerning what really happened at that sacred garden; whether that was just another parable or a real apple, the storyline is still the same; men succumb to temptation easily.

Before someone lunges at me with a knife with all sorts of accusations, Matthew 5:28 refers exclusively to men lusting after women. While lust is sinful for both men and women, the fact that the passage only speaks of men committing “heart adultery” implies that sexual temptation is primarily a male problem. Researchers, divorce attorneys, and stand-up comedians agree: Guys have a harder time resisting lustful temptation. Studies suggest married men are more likely than women to have extramarital affairs, as well as to seduce someone else’s partner, and in some cases, even their friends or neighbour’s children.
