Infidelity is natural

Does a one night stand with a stranger count

Or an emotional entanglement

With a friend without a corporal touch?

Men more than a half and women less than a half

Nurture emotional affairs outside.

One fifth of either sex is having sex

With other than the spouse sometimes in life.

The wholesome bread winners are most likely

To cheat their partners, be it he or she.

Men and women in external affairs

Are tolerant with their partner’s transgression,

To protect their relationships on love.

However, being unfaithful to the spouse

Is an emotional burden to bear.

One falls for the other not that the one

Is more attractive than the one owned,

Not that there is no domestic harmony,

Not that there is no sexual eagerness.

To find self-worth in someone’s acceptence

Is a thrill, with a license to be erotic.

Living with an attractive chaste partner,

Lovely kids, royal connections,

Status and financial security,

One still wants to risk them all for a fling.

The paramour may be inferior

To one’s spouse in worth, status or caste

Or far younger or older age wise

And yet is desired, to have liberty

And thrill in having sex with such persons.

Adultery can be held as the revenge

Of the deserted one against one’s spouse.

Monogamy entails polygamy.

Often people do not want to break home

On account of their external affairs.

Variety is spice and curiosity, a spike.

Cheating will stay forever as natural.
