The Biology of Sex and Cheating...

Men: Visually stimulated (it's why they get an erection from a magazine)
Women: Emotionally stimulated (it's why we enjoy the connectivity of foreplay)

Men: Genetically driven to procreate (it's the reason they produce millions of sperm cells)
Women: Genetically driven to nurture (it's why they only, typically, produce 1 egg per month)

Men: looking for fertility and virility (it's why young females are more tempting)
Women: looking for stability and safety (it's why older men are so attractive)

Men: #1 reason for infidelity is looking for sexual adventure to escape monotony
Women: #1 reason for infidelity is looking for emotional committment to escape indifference

Men: Genetic competitiveness (quicker, more frequent ejaculations ensures insemination)
Women: Genetic carefullness (fewer, less frequent orgasms test the committment of males)

Men: Able to reproduce well into old age (evolutionary assurance that as many offspring as possible are produced)
Women: Menopause (evolutionary assurance that offspring are healthy)

These are just the points that I can remember thanks to my biology degree!! And these are only the biologically instigated differences between the sexes!! These don't even begin to express the social or religious aspects!! No wonder there is so much strife between us!!
