Documentary on why men cheat, featuring Tampa (full video)

The fact that powerful men risk everything for sex should prove how little choice they have in the matter.

A new TV documentary explores why rich and powerful "alpha males" are willing to compromise their power, influence, marriages, and wealth for the most casual of sexual indiscretions.

Rich and powerful men have always had access to multiple sex partners. Some might argue that these alpha males rise to power in order to secure these mating rights. This documentary explores what biological factors drive men to cheat and why non-monogamous relationships have become taboo in our current cultural climate. The film features intriguing interviews with such authorities as Dan Savage, Gloria Allred, Gad Saad (author of The Consuming Instinct), and Christopher Ryan (co-author of Sex at Dawn).

This article appears in Apr 11-17, 2013.
