Throughout history, infidelity has been a part of romantic relationships.

- Confidence in Secrecy: A man who has successfully cheated in the past without being caught may feel confident in his ability to do so again.
- Exploration of Fantasies: Cheating may occur when men seek to fulfill sexual fantasies or explore experiences their current partner is not open to.
