One thing I’ve been thinking about lately, and in line with your points on increasing awareness/incidence of women straying, is the impact on children of divorce and being raised absent a parent.

I think our experiences of parent-love, to us as kids and their love towards each other, has the greatest effect on our adult romantic relationships – more than chemical or biological or social urges. Meaning, as adults, we have a primal longing for love and tenderness that stems from the love we crave(d) from our parents. I mean, how many women do you know that chronically chase after guys that are neglectful and abandon them? Almost all of them are simply re-creating the experiences they had with their fathers.

With the deterioration of marriage as an institution, and rising infidelity (on both sides), I think it naturally follows that the next generation will have even less idea of how to build functional and fulfilling relationships. So, more cheating and more teacher-student fooling around ahead, methinks.
