I say it is cowardly because you are going around your partners back in the relationship contract you have. You are avoiding dialog, and avoiding confronting aspects of your psychology. Maybe it’s the wrong word, but as someone who has cheated in the past, I feel much stronger having gone through the self-work to accept open relationships.
I think the biology argument is bullshit. As someone said above, you aren’t actually impregnating women. Also I know plenty of women who want sex with multiple partners, and plenty of men who don’t. There is a reason why men cheat more frequently than women in monogamous relationships. It is because in men have more opportunities to do so. In the majority of families, women are so burdened by housework and (when applicable) childcare that they simply haven’t the time nor energy to cheat. Men, often the breadwinners, find themselves away from home for work and shouldering less of the house work, so it is simply easier for them to cheat and they have the energy to do so.
