If You Really Love Me, You Won’t Want to Have Sex with Anyone Else

And other lies we tell ourselves

We lie to ourselves about a lot of things — how much we eat, how much we drink or smoke, and how deeply we want to have sex with more than one person.

Most of us have been cheated on at some point in our lives.

It hurts.

While we humans have developed advanced consciousness, and self-awareness, and understand conceptually what it means to be moral, we are still, at our core, wild animals with the same untamed sexual desires as monkeys, gorillas, and dogs.

Let me shout this from the mountaintop. I don’t care if someone tells you they would cut off their genitals before they would cheat on you, THEY ARE LYING!

Under the right circumstances, everyone will cheat, particularly if they can get away with it.

Before you scream at me that YOU’VE never cheated, I mean no offense and I do believe you, but it is my sincere belief that if you stumbled upon the right opportunity, you would succumb to temptation, particularly if you were 100% certain your mate would never find out.

There is no way to prepare yourself for being cheated on.
