• It’s natural and even healthy for every human being to have a voracious sexual appetite. However, when you’re married or in a committed relationship the sex can become routine or your desires are not being fulfilled by your spouse and you look elsewhere. Or you just want a variety and want sex all the time. But having a sexual appetite and eating out (cheating) are two different things. My wife always tells me that it’s okay to “check out” other woman (not in front of her, of course), and work up an appetite as long as I eat at home. She admits to “checking out” men as herself. It’s natural and we’ve all done it before. The thrill of the hunt, the desire for something new. The excitement is so intoxicating that we often lose our heads and end up in a situation that gives us guilt feelings or other complications for days, if not months and years! More often than not, the experience just isn”t worth it. However, when you’re on the hunt you’re often not thinking straight. So, if you get carried away, and forget about any commitments and are headed toward cheating, then bring this list with you. Hopefully, it will serve as a wake up call and slap you back into reality with a quick reminder of the top ten reasons why you shouldn’t cheat.

    • 1.  They probably have some disease that will expose you, your spouse, and others close to you to pain, serious bodily injury or death.
    • 2.  They may seem nice now but will eventually turn psycho after you’re intimate. You may end up tomorrow’s crime scene, where they drug you, tie you up, and take you somewhere where they or a group of people rape you. Or perhaps they or their crazy significant other, may stalk you and your family and make your lives miserable.
    • 3.  Check your ego, because regardless of how special you think you are or how unique this new found relationship is, there’s a good chance that they’re doing the exact same thing with someone else. Yes, especially if they say, “I’ve never done anything like this before.” You’re not the first or last person with whom they’ve moved this fast.
    • 4.  No strings attached (NSA) does not exist! There are always repercussions and they always want something from you, other than just sex. If not right away, then sooner or later they”ll be coming after your money, your loved ones, your house and job.
    • 5.  They may be a plant sent by your spouse to try to catch you in the act of cheating. Players beware!
    • 6.  They probably have some crazy sexual fetishes, which will gross you out or scare you. They’ll ask you to do things, which you don’t enjoy and the whole experience will make you uncomfortable. You don’t know what you’re getting into.
    • 7.  Even if the sex is great, chances are that one of you, or someone close to you is going to get hurt. That includes, your spouse children and others in your circle. Just picture their face and having to explain it to them. That should turn you off. Plus any relationship based on deceit, has little hope for a positive outcome.
    • 8.  If they don’t care about your commitments or loved ones, then eventually they will not care about you. All they are looking out for is themselves and that will make for a selfish and boring partner. Hence, a complete waste of your time!
    • 9.  Being a liar and deceitful is bad Karma. Remember that you made a commitment and what comes around goes around. If you lie and are not open about your relationship then it’ll eventually come back to haunt you.
    • 10. They may secretly (or with your consent) be recording the whole experience and will post it on the internet, exposing you to the entire world. Are you ready for that one?

    Hey, snap out of it! If you’re thinking of cheating and you haven’t yet watched the movie “Fatal Attraction,” then run out and do so immediately. Hopefully, watching how fast an affair can ruin your life will help deter you. So, know your limits and don’t play with fire (flirting, secret conversations, etc.) because eventually you’ll get burned. “Harmless” acts of hanging out and flirting can quickly turn into a torrid love affair. Get out of there right now and go back to your significant other. If that’s not an option, then find the nearest private room and relieve yourself so you come back to your senses. However, if after all that, you still have poor self-control and choose to risk it all, then at least you know what you’re in for… And don’t say I didn’t warn you. You’ll soon find out that your five minutes of glory (or hour for you egomaniacs out there) wasn’t worth it!
