Question for men

I had dinner with friends yesterday evening and we got on the discussion of affairs (okay, we were gossiping about someone we used to work with).
All friends (5 of them) said that most, like 99% of married men, would not turn down the opportunity of no strings attached sex with a woman offering it to them.

So hypothetically, if a gorgeous female offered you no strings attached sex without any repercussions, would you go for it? Or be a loyal husband? Just seems so cynical!

Bang on. With zero repercussions, of course I would do it.

Monogamy is pretty dull IMO - no matter how good your car or house is, sometimes you just fancy a change or to go to a car showroom to window shop...

And as said, people change. I wouldn't want to be someone who stays the same - constantly developing yourself and learning is what makes life interesting. My personality and approach to life has changed a fair bit in the past 10 years for instance.

OK, so you are not into monogamy, fair enough .. but what about the risk of STDs, or passing them on to someone. Does this concern you? I know of at least two people who caught herpes after one night stands. I would be wary of risking my sexual health.
