With some women, as well as men, the "forbiden fruit" syndrome simply becomes too irresistible. Unlike us men, some women simply do not want to admit to others, and especially themselves, that they love to fvck. Ironically, some of the most loyal women are the ones who admit this reality to not just others but to themselves as well.
Statistically speaking, more men cheat than women do in relationships, so I find your question interesting. I'll take a stab at it. Short answer, women cheat for emotional reasons.
My married ex-AP (male) started flirting/pursing me over email, with the occasional confession that he "wished things could be different" (ie date me). For a year and a half. I took the energy home and tried desperately to make my marriage better (read: sex at home).
Despite being married to a guy who is extremely selfish, disrespectful,poor hygiene, sometimes borderline nuts, not even a very good dad, frankly, I didn't pursue anything physical with the this guy - until my husband (despite noticing the improvements in me but not improving himself at all) turned even meaner, which I didn't think was possible (no, he didn't know, one benefit of being married to a narc. person who's had their own affairs is that they will never suspect you...)
It was at that point, with the mental decision in my head that I was headed for divorce anyway, that I moved from an EA to a PA, but it was really short lived, because the comparison between being with this other guy and the meanness at home was too heartbreaking for me personally. He was just using me since he wasn't getting enough sex or attention at home (like many of your male stories here) but admitted his marriage wasn't toxic like mine - it was "good enough" and he was never leaving, of course.
Yes, some people are serial cheaters. Some people just make mistakes. Some people have experiences that change their lives and tell them finally they need to get out of both situations. Mine was the last.

I find this question strange. Why have you limited it to women - is it because you KNOW why men stray? (and lets it face it, men stray)
I limited it to women because it's the direction that's relevant to my discussion with my son and because I do think the reasons are generally different for women then they are for men

According to some experts in the field of infidelity, female infidelity has caught up with male infidelity in the last two decades. If you don't believe me, simply ask a few marriage counselors.
They know that there is literally a line of men out there whose main goal in life is to get laid, as it somehow validates their masculinity. The fact that the woman in question is married is of no importance.
And we also have a media enforced "you go girl" cultural paradigm, combined with the expected lack of accountability from women and the ever increasing big daddy government that is more than happy to provide for them (or bail them out). Cheating is safer than ever. Your wife can cheat on you and you will be the one getting screwed over in the divorce court.
If you want to give your son a honest advice, you should tell him about the current state of the culture. Also, make sure he is aware of a very real fact, and that is female hypergamy. Posted via Mobile Device
The refusal of many women to admit to themselves and to others that they crave variety in sexual partners as well. So maybe some of these women who are in relationships probably shouldn't attempt monogamy.
For less experienced women: Mistaking Lustful feelings for love.
Just a few. There are many others of course depending on the individual and the circumstances.
I ask this because my son is 20 and beginning to get serious with his girlfriend, who I like. The problem is while she is very pretty she has serious self esteem issues.
They manifest in a way I think is dangerous for the future. He is very affectionate and spends a lot of time with her but it's never enough for her and she says he doesn't show her enough attention and doesn't make her feel loved enough.
I work with my son and we talk a lot. He is doing more than most boyfriends do in the showing affection department and in my opinion it only gets harder when you have kids and a mortgage.
I don't know but low self esteem and seeking it from the opposite seems like a red flag.
By the way I know men cheat, but many times I feel its sex driven as opposed to emotional deficit driven.
