We all know this type of guy, the classic philanderer. He’s a married, good looking, successful man with swagger. He has a coterie of hot honeys, both married and single women he claims as lovers. His philandering style is so typical it rings like a cliché.

Instead of making assumptions about this classic playboy archetype, I wanted to get into his mind. What drives him to pursue, woo, and ultimately sleep with multiple single and married women: all from the same community, his own community, all at the same time? Some of these women are even the wives of men he knows.

Why does he act this way? How does it make him feel? What are his sentiments about the women with whom he’s cavorting?

What if a significant number of married men act this way. It was a disturbing thought, but I asked this episode’s guest, a man I’ll call Clarke — all this and more.
