Why men cheat

I read an article on this subject recently that commented on why men cheat. The reasoning is that "they want what they can't have". So, this means that if a man is married to a very beautiful woman, he will still cheat on her with the girl next door, because she is unavailable. Is this still the Coolidge Effect, or a variation?
