This is most common understanding among many people. Sex and love are just plain emotions, feelings innstinct unrelated to reason, thinking; a conventional idea accepted by many. But the fact is every feelings, emotions have its root causes, that his hidden, unknown, unrecognized premises of his thinking (acquired and accomulated since childhood).

Although I think the simple answer is that the societies that are harsher on female infidelity are those run by males, plain and simple. The corpus callosum might explain why men cheat more, but they're treated less harshly because men treat men less harshly, a sad truth. Interesting points, especially the second nature thing.
