How does a man have an affair and cover his tracks

I want to know how a man can have an affair and there be no signs at all.
Yes, I am talking about my husband. The way I found out was because I noticed he had warts down below which he had never had. TBH he could have told me that they had just appeared and I would have accepted it knowing that warts can lay dormant for decades. But he admitted he had been cheating. Not an affair he said. A few one night stands. With women whose names he does not know. I don't believe him. There was virtually no opportunity to have one night stands. I have no clue when he did it. It must have been someone close geographically who could accommodate for short times. Not a prostitute. He is not a man who would visit a prostitute. He would definately not like handing over money for sex, he would not need to, plus we were almost broke at one point in the past.
The thing is, I never noticed any signs. He barely went out in the evening. He worked hard to support his family. He never worked late. At no point did I ever think 'oh that's odd' at anything. He never smelled of perfume. He did not have a secret bank account. I managed our money which we were both happy for me to do. He showed zilch signs of having been with another woman. Since his confession I have managed to view his location history on Google. He doesn't know I have done this. He does not know that Google records his location. There was only one irregularity over a period of four years and I am almost certain this was a blip on the GPS as he was located a few streets away in the early hours.
How did he do it?

ItsBeenRaining,
You are quite right, gut instinct is often right (not always) but very often!

@Loyaltothedeath yes, young women but also with other men. They don't actually class themselves as gay or bi, just "opportunists".
Agree with trusting the gut - our brains are more reliable than tech.
