I look at friends who settle down too early and then have emotional or physical affairs. I often wonder if the issue is that they didn't sample enough before settling down.
So, how important is sampling?

I didn't sample much before marrying young --- certainly not by any FB standards. I daily ogle good looking women --- esp. in the 21 to 28 range --- on an aesthetic and fantasy level, but at the seven year itch point I have yet to be "tempted" in the sense of hand-wringing, should-I-or-shouldn't-I agonizing. At a certain point in your life, there's too much to lose, and that point can happen early even if you marry young.
I also have a righteous self-image that does not permit cheating on my family. Putting affairs on a wholly theoretical level is what takes this load off my mind, not the feeling that I sowed a lot of wild oats in myriad furrows.
