A Pound & A Prayer
Kind of like how some people say all rapist rape for power and not for sex. Reduces the chance of it happening to them or people they love if men don't do it for sex.
I agree with your line of thought but I'm always weary of comparing things to the nuances of rape

It's all defence mechanisms, at the end of the day. The only way to guarantee you never get cheated on is to not be in a relationship but no one wants to be alone like that so we create narratives for those that do get cheated on and then let our faith in people do the rest.
