Is it natural for men to cheat/stray

I cannot speak for men, but only myself.

It is not natural for me, as I am very loyal to the one I love. .

yeah I get that....I am extremely open and honest maybe that is good, maybe that is bad but I am with whomever I am with, if I were to wish to stray I would not hide it ... I would speak about the process with my partner

BUT, on the other hand, if I were unhappy or feeling abused and felt it was an issue that could not be solved, I personally would abandon the relationship...many would not

Yeah, but where do the beliefs come from? For example, is jealousy something that we learn or does it come naturally? How about trust? Are there people who would find it perfectly natural to be lied to and made dupes and not think a thing of it, or would they just be natural idiots?

From my perspective, jealousy is a survival reaction. It is not a belief, jealousy is an emotion which generates a reaction .... it is not always rational but it is natural. I believe it does come naturally because survival is an instinct. If it involves survival at any basic level, it is generated naturally.

Trust at its most base level is the feeling that someone will protect you. How deep that trust goes depends upon the belief that the other individual is willingness to sacrifice their safety for yours.

People's level of trust depends upon their ability or inability to understand their fellow man.

For example I personally go by my gut instinct because I have years of experience knowing that I have an excellent ability to read others. I understand human motivation and I am able to disengage my emotion from my rational thought. So far that has resulted in positive results. If it did not, I would change my behaviour.

Would you say it is natural for men to cheat on their wives due to nature?

Would a monogamous relationship then be considered, unnatural?

Fidelity and marriage are cultural aspects not biological. Fidelity or one partner marriage has waxed and waned over the century; is a king with 24 wives cheating?

Increasingly our society is choosing to live outside of the traditional boundaries of marriage, therefore 'cheating' become a relative term dependent on each application. Many marriages are "open" now.

If however, you have any kind of agreement with your spouse then it is cheating and from my experience its about equal in ratio
 
There are several reasons that people cheat on their spouse.

1. some need is not being met in the relationship and someone else temporarily fills that need.
2. the relationship is already stressed and neither party are wanting to fix it.
3. the people are just lame in general and shouldn't have gotten married.
 
Just because something is natural does not mean that it is good. If humans were naturally good, laws would be unnecessary. Morality is tested by temptation. It cannot be said to exist without it.
