Sexual dissatisfaction is a significant cause of infidelity among men. Some men cheat because their sexual needs are not met with their wives or official partners. They need more than they get. They may have a high sex drive, and their partner’ libido is not up to their game. Usually, they do not have the same sexual behaviours with their partners or are not sexually compatible.
