Exactly this. My instinct is often to beat the hell out of somebody - often for shit as menial as talking on a cell phone when it's not appropriate. But I don't, because it's not a good thing to do. Similarly, my instinct is often to try to fuck everything that breathes and has an orifice, but I don't, because it's (usually) not a good thing to do.
My point being that my instincts don't make decisions for me, even if sometimes they inform them. The idea that it's normal or okay for a man to stray from a relationship that has been set up as mutually monogamous simply presumes that men can't or won't make conscious decisions informed by more than just their impulses.
