Do you agree with men who use the biological difference to justify extra-marital sex?

Men are wired differently from women.

According to

https://www.webmd.com/sex/features/sex-drive-how-do-men-women-compare#1

“The majority of adult men under 60 think about sex at least once a day, reports Laumann. Only about one-quarter of women say they think about it that frequently. As men and women age, each fantasize less, but men still fantasize about twice as often.https://www.webmd.com/sex/features/sex-drive-how-do-men-women-compare#1That is one reason viagra works for men, but there isn’t anything similar for women. Simply put, a woman’s sexual interest is a combination of many physical and emotional factors, while a man’s is straightforward.

One recent study, linked below, has found that:

“The reality is that while married men have more affairs than married women –The difference is not that great.”

This quote and a few others below were taken from an excellent blog:

https://blogs.psychcentral.com/healing-together/2013/09/an-unrecognized-reason-that-married-men-have-affairs/

Another quote:

“The other reality is that while extra-marital affairs by definition involve a romantic and emotional relationship that has a sexual or sexualized component, research suggests that sexual drive is not the primary reason married men have affairs.”

The most interesting statement made by the author (to me anyway) is the following:

” I suggest that one overlooked reason that men find themselves in the midst of an extramarital affair is that men don’t talk!”
