why woman and men cheat in relationships

Researchers of the Spire Liverpool Hospital found that during physical contact of sexual nature in women produce higher levels of oxytocin, the hormone that binds women emotionally to their partners. 
It is worth noting that this hormone is produced in the same quantities, whether it is a one night stand or a serious relationship.
Now this brings to the point of discussion that - If her partner is not able to "arouse" her raise oxytocin levels, its natural that a woman might look for another partner. 
A woman finds it easier to get emotionally and physically attached to her new partner.
In men, instead, the same stimulates the nervous system to produce more dopamine, the pleasure hormone, and this surge can be very addictive.
The hormone levels fluctuate depending on the attraction, nature of sexual contact and desire for the same.
This brings out the point of discussion that, Men seem addicted to the "physical act". Hence those who are not attracted to their partners or don't find physical pleasure with their partner, might remain emotionally loyal but not physically.
Interesting developments!!!
My Mind Mantra on this - I meet many men and women who are "cheating" on their partners. They find different reasons and explanations for the same. 
They all seem to have guilt, but something in them still makes it uncontrollable to do so. 
Most people show a certain level of control and clarity in mind after proper counselling and treatment!! 
So somewhere the hormones are affecting the minds understanding of reality.. and the mind might need strengthening???
