It’s Easy If You Get No Offers
This Tiger Woods thing is quite amusing, obviously. But if it is true that he has strayed, then really it isn’t surprising. Fidelity is (relatively) easy if beautiful people aren’t offering you sex all the time. If they are, as is presumably the case with Tiger Woods, then it gets a whole lot harder.
I used to think I’d always be able to resist the temptation of illicit sex. But now I’m pretty sure that if I had offers like Tiger Woods, I’d behave exactly as he has done. The flesh is weak.

I agree completely. The few times in my life in which I’ve been important in a minor way, among a small circle of people, the offers have increased surprisingly, disappearing completely as I return to my normal anonymity.

Yes I quite agree. How many couples are faithful in a relationship because they have no tempting offers or even opportunities?
