Virtually all men will have a DESIRE for other women, yes. Those instincts were developed as humans evolved, and nearly all mammals work the same way. In the "caveman" days, tribes would fight each other over women, and the strongest, bravest warriors would get most of the women, having multiple "wives", while the weak or sickly men had none. This assured that the children would have the best genes (and also explains why women are attracted to "alpha males"). Even in modern history, powerful men have routinely had multiple women. In Victorian times, high society men had wives, but they also had mistresses, and this wasn't exactly a secret to anyone. Even the Bible has many mentions of multiple wives.
Most average men had one wife, because that's all they could afford to support, so it became the norm, and eventually the basis for laws, but that's never really applied to the powerful or the popular.
Having said all that, for most men, just LOOKING at other women is enough to satisfy that desire, assuming their relationship with their girlfriend/wife is healthy. That might be just checking out random girls on the street, or watching p*rn, or going to strip clubs. Most men don't actually cheat, and when they are looking at other girls, it's normally a purely physical/sexual thing, and not an emotional thing for guys
Also, in general, a man's need/desire for other women is directly related to the health of his existing relationship. If that relationship is healthy and satisfying, his need for other women is low. If there are problems and complications and stresses in that relationship, his desire for other women will eventually increase. And obviously, if he isn't being sexually satisfied in his relationship (10 minutes of missionary sex twice a month or whatever), then his desire for other women goes up.
You can't change men's instincts, anymore than men can change women's instincts to be attracted to alpha males or to get "baby fever" or to desire romance and security. Those instincts all evolved from the same place. The key is to understand that these things exist, and to work the system to your benefit. Keep your relationship healthy and happy, and you won't have to worry much about this stuff. That's the real bottom line.
Quote from "The Women" (1939), where Mrs. Moorehead is explaining to her daughter why husbands have affairs (Steven is her daughter's husband who is having an affair):
Mrs. Moorehead: Steven is tired of himself. Tired of feeling the same things in himself. Time comes when a man's got to feel something new. When he's got to feel young again just because he's growing old. We women are so much more sensible. When we tire of ourselves, we change the way we do our hair, or hire a new cook, or decorate the house. I suppose a man could do over his office, but he never thinks of anything so simple. No, dear, a man has only one escape from his old self--to see a different self in the mirror of some woman's eyes.
Although I believe there is some truth in this quote, I also believe it is very difficult to generalize to "all men" or "all women." There are certainly men for whom one women is enough, just as there are men for whom no number of women is enough. I'd like to think that most men intend to be faithful to their girlfriend/wife (at least at some point), but that temptation is too much for many men...
During the course of a relationship men and women are going to meet other people whom they find attractive. If their current relationship is satisfying all their needs and desires, then it may not be difficult to remain faithful. However, there is always a degree of curiosity in men, and for them the grass tends to look greener on the other side of the fence (at least with regard to sex)--as opposed to women who are more focused on stability. So men have traditionally been more prone to stray in a relationship, but there are still guys out there who are happy with one woman. However, they may not be as "hot" as other guys who are more likely to stray...
I think it depends on if the woman is willing to expiernece new things with her man. If a woman just wants to have plain vanilla sex all the time, and never wants to try something new. Then yes I don't think she will ever be enough for her man. When you get married you are saying you honor, love, respect, and only be with that person as long as you both shall live. That's a Huge commitment and it's easy to say those words but its hard to live those words. So you have to willing to try new things in the bedroom if you're not going to try new things and keep sex exciting. It's almost a guarantee someone will cheat. It may not be right to cheat but it's human nature people cheat when their needs are not being met.
Of course not. If that were true, no men would ever get married. And no, not all men cheat either. Men "needing" more than one woman is just a stereotype. It also depends on the man, sure some may feel this way but obviously not all guys are dissatisfied with having one long term girlfriend or wife. If they have a woman they really love who satisfies them on all levels (emotionally, physically, and mentally) then they're not going to go looking for other women (in most cases).
I think a lot of people have an idealized view of marriage. While there may be some people who have tunnel vision and only have eyes for their mate. Most husbands and wives will still look and be attracted to other people doesn't mean they are going to have sex with them it just means they're going to look. I really don't think its a big deal.
And you are so correct there :)
well, that depends on if a woman is doing a good job in bed. Routine can bore your partner. It also depends on if a man is a sex addict too. Because I woman who is good in bed or just a really good girlfriend or wife that is attentive to a man's needs and a very good cook will never be cheated on unless he is a sex addict

There is a male drive to have sex with multiple partners. It was a very useful evolutionary instinct for males (not for women). Some men experience that desire strongly, others don't. Personally I can be very happy with one wild, filthy partner.
I don't think that drive makes them bad people, but it may mean monogamy isn't the best option for them.
one woman is always enough for me. doesn't mean I won't masturbate but I don't need more than one woman and when I'm with a girl I'm not looking for anyone else
Short answer: I don't, one is enough for me, especially with all the things, she does...
For most men one woman is too many. The cost of vaginal canal use is pretty ridiculous.
lol fact
if it was p*rn I think not too big a deal if its girls he knows kick I'm to the curb! but anyway this statement does hold some relative merit. in that I think that the human species was originally polygamous but due to societal pressures later monogamy became the norm (which is actually aberrant or out of the norm for most animal species)
