I coach many executive types and there is constant temptation out there in their travels. There needs to be more open discussion about the issue so that men can openly deal with how to master their urge for variety, conquest and the thrill of a new relationship among others. If they could own their humanness and any shadow side of their sexuality (use of power, influence, etc.) then they might have a chance of coming to terms with the whole issue of monogamy. Do they want to? What supports are in place if they get tempted? The whole world is moving toward more authenticity. Several college presidents in the state are saying, "Enough! Let the drinking age be 18 so we can have a better chance to regulate what is already going on." It is that same honesty that men need to say "Wait a minute, what do I want and how can I come to terms with what is important to my mate and myself?" It really is a private matter that needs to be reconciled just like everything else. YOu don't want to let go of your money but you pay taxes because you know it's needed and you want to be a good rolemodel for your constituents, etc.. You don't have sex and/or emotional affairs with other women because you only have energy for your current wife, it is a betrayal and you don't like living a lie with someone who is supposed to be your trusted partner in life. Floundering around with embarassing excuses afterwards reveals that you just didn't want to let go of the thrill and that's called addiction. And that requires help.
