This from the February 2008 Glamour Magazine:
"If your girlfriend or wife would never know about it, would you have a one-night stand with a smoking hot stranger?
No: 70%
Yes: 30%" (source)
Are
you kidding me? When Glamour called for the poll husbands must have
thought it was really their wife's friend pretending to be a magazine
-or maybe that their wife was listening on another extension. There
isn't a man out that wouldn't do it if there was NO WAY he'd get
caught. My hairdresser said that if all was good with him and his (new)
bride he wouldn't do it because he'd feel too guilty. I contend he
would do it and feel guilty after the deed was done.
Let's see if the men here will be a little more forthcoming... [Blonde Sagacity]

I think there's more guys like
her hairdresser out there than she thinks. I'm reminded of an old
Mike Nichols & Elaine May sketch, quite racy for television at the
time, where the couple are parked on some lover's lane. The guy,
classically, puts his arm around her and starts moving his hand to the
promised land; she nudges it back. Each time the guy tries to reason
with her - you know the lines [I'll still respect you]
- and tries again. Finally, she lets him proceed. He
doesn't know what to do, never having had the opportunity. But now she's worked herself into a state of licentiousness, and
demands some action. The guy looks at his watch and says,"OMG,
look what time it is."
The sketch was funny because so many in the audience identified with
it, and I think that's still true. The man code demands of us a certain
cockiness, ahem, where women are concerned, especially if they
know they won't get called on. I know a fair number of men who
have succumbed, and a fair number who have not, so I tend to accept
that 70-30 response. Say, I know! Let's find out for sure.
