I did it again just last week. What's wrong with me?
  • Simple answer.

    When men aren't having sex, they want sex.

    When they're having sex, they want variety. End of story, that's who men are. That's who I am.

    It's the male animal instinct to spread one's DNA around as much as possible. Fortunately, we can choose not to be just animals but moral persons.

    So what the LW needs to do is to choose to be a moral person. He needs to honor his commitment, his promise, to his wife. That is a sacred thing. We liberals don't talk much about the sacred, and that's too bad. But it's there nonetheless.

    So the dude needs to ignore the "little head," and submit to the moral sensibility contained in the "big head." That's all there is to it, and once you get used to ignoring the demands of the "little head," the moral path is clear.
