CHAPTER 1

Introduction

Alison Dagnes

Comedian Chris Rock once said: A man is only as faithful as his options, which may go a long way toward explaining the adulterous behavior of certain prominent men. While not all (or even most) famous men are lascivious adulterers, the scores of men famous for their vast sexual conquests alongside their varying talents have proven that, for some women, celebrity is one powerful aphrodisiac. The categories of prominent men with raging libidos are fairly obvious, and each category exemplifies a different reason that famous men may stray: athletes are preternaturally competitive; actors are exceptionally self-involved; and rock stars are engrossed in a lifestyle that not only permits such behavior but actually encourages it.
