In my comment section last week, one of my loyal readers, NC_NYer, advises black women not to hire a PI to follow their husbands and catch them in the act of cheating.

Accordint to NC_NYer, why waste money to confirm what she should already know?

This is the reason we as a race have the highest incidence of HIV/AIDS of any community.

A great number of men in Atlanta are cheating with other men – mainly male street hustlers who far outnumber female hookers.

A new study shows that 1 out of 5 men on average has slept with a hooker. According to the study, men sleep with hookers for any number of reasons: variety, getting something they can’t get at home, or just the sheer thrill of it.

But if you don’t ask, they don’t tell.

“If I were asked point-blank, I would tell them the truth. But I wouldn’t go out of my way to tell a girlfriend,” says investment banker David, 27, who reports he really can’t even count how many times he has been with a prostitute. He would only spill the beans if he thought he was going to get caught.

“If I thought I was going to let something slip, then I guess I would have to raise the issue,” he says. “But if my girlfriend were really uptight, I would just never talk about it.”

Psychologist and relationship expert Cooper Lawrence says the nicer the girlfriend, the more likely the guy might seek sex outside the relationship.

If you think your man doesn’t cheat, remember that black women make up two-thirds of new HIV diagnoses among women.
