I’m going to disagree with your male friends, because not every man is tempted to cheat. One thing I know for sure is the reason why some men don’t cheat has nothing to do with the potential ramifications of getting caught. It’s simply not in their nature to cheat.

I do agree that temptation is everywhere, but part of growing up is knowing that you can’t have what you want, when you want it, all the time. So, men who cheat are emotionally immature and greedy, and never consider for one moment if they are going to get caught or not.
