There's also the fact that marriage generally promotes monogamy,

I'm wondering how commonly held this view is.  It doesn't strike me as true but
I don't have any specific information with which to refute it.  I guess there
was a big study based on a survey in which sixty-some percent of married men
admitted to infidelity

Or wishful thinking about it turned into inflated claims of actuality? People DO
brag... (sorry, couldn't resist)

(and one presumes there were those who would not, even on
an anonymous survey), but I'm not sure that's exactly refutation either.

No, that's a perfectly valid concern to bear in mind.  All routes for corrupt
data should be considered even if only to recognize the potential flaws when the
study is published.
