I personally think that the internet has made cheating incredibly easy. It has even blurred the lines as to what is cheating and what is just "chat". I met a lot of married men while doing the whole online dating thing. And most of them thought it was innocent fun since they were just looking for "chat". I pretty much assume that any guy who is really into the whole online world likely has a roster of women he flirts with online (at the very least).
A realtime SO can't compete with the cyber fantasy woman. She's there when he's horny, does what he wants, says what he wants to hear and goes away at the click of a mouse...its when an emotional attachment arises that problems start. And who are they really bonding with at that point? The person or the fantasy?
I think this whole cyber thing is a case of technology outstripping the capacity of humanity to deal with it. I know it certainly adds another challenge to the practise of monogomy.
