Why do homosexual people tend to cheat on their significant others more often than straight people?

Name : Vicki, Gender : F, City : Fargo, State : ND, Country : United States,I don’t know that homosexuals cheat more often, but I have heard this complaint from a homosexual friend of mine. If it’s true, then it may be because many homosexuals define themselves by their sexual orientation; thus, a gay human engaging in an as much homosexual activity as possible is a way for that human to reinforce its sense of self.

Men in general are very sexually compulsive, so there is an increased opportunity for infidelity. For example, if I’m at a party or in a situation with other gay men, there is an increased chance of others being ‘open’ to flirting. If there isn’t enough consequence to keep me from ‘straying’, and it looks like a sure thing, it may happen. Contrast that with a hetero male–he may be at a party, but it’s less likely that a woman will be as receptive to his intentions. Bottom line–men are dogs and when you get two together, there’s more liklihood to be sparks. That being said, NOT ALL gay men cheat! It’s rooted in honesty and communication. It’s not uncommon for gay couples to discuss and agree upon ‘parameters’ in which the partner can express himself (or herself)sexually with others while still respecting the contraints of a committed relationship.

Name : Ray28689, City : Seattle, State : WA, Country : United States,My life partner and I have been committed to each other for 25 years. There is no question that infidelity is a cardinal sin to our committment and I would never cheat on her. And to answer your next question, yes, women hit on me frequently, straight and gay, and I say, ‘that a wonderful compliment, but I am very committed to my life partner, no thanks.’ Check your state data, straight couples have a 60% or better divorce rate. Infidelity is a behavior choice, not a sexual orientation tendency. Thats like the myth that gay americans are pedophiles, when all state data shows that 90% of pedophile activity is STRAIGHT PEOPLE…

There’s a whole TV show called “Cheaters” and I have yet to see a gay person on it! I don’t think there’s a lot of data to back up the assumption inherent in your question,Vicki. Studies have shown that on the scale of the number of sexual partners, gay men are #1, then straight men, then straight women, then lesbians. This is the number of partners, however and doesn’t reflect other partners while inside a committed relationship (which is what I think you mean by “cheating”) In terms of sociobiology, men tend to be promiscuous (their strategy for increasing their chances of reproducing), while women tend to be “coy” (being “choosy” about their mates, since they must lit

However, let’s assume that what you say is true. It might have to do with the fact that many gays have/had no role models except the stereotypes that are shown on television and movies, particularly the older stereotypes of gays who were obsessed with having sex with as many people as they could. It might have to do with the fact that society is still denying gays the right to marry, thus subtly suggesting that gay relationships are only about sex and not “real” relationships. It may have to do with certain religions telling gays they’re worthless and damned for all eternity. If you already think you’re going to hell simply because you’re gay, what do you have to lose by cheating on your spouse? Love and Light

Gay men tend to be more promiscuous. This is because it is a basic human instinct for females to create a stable environment to raise children. The basic human instinct for males is to share their genetic code with as many partners as possible.
