Is it a Bad Move for a Married Man to Allow Another Man to Stay in His Home?

I just read a quote in "How to Fail at Almost Everything and Still Win Big" that has a loose relation to this topic.
"If you believe people use reason for the important decisions in life, you will go through life feeling confused and frustrated that others seem to have bad reasoning skills. The reality is that reason is just one of the drivers of our decisions, and often the smallest one."
In the same token, it can be flawed to count on a man's reasonable mind to stay his natural urges. Or assume that your own rational, loyal mind will always have the power to stay your own.
Men (and women) are fallible and imperfect - even the ones you hold in the highest regard. This doesn't make them demons and shouldn't become a cause for the apathetic approach to life being discussed in another thread right now, but it pays to observe this truth.
This is what societies that limited the intermingling of the sexes understood that our own society has largely forgotten. Perhaps returning to archaic vagina guarding practices isn't the answer, but there's nothing wrong with being aware of the potential in the human interactions around you.

"The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe.
To be your own man is a hard business. If you try it, you'll be lonely often, and sometimes
frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself." - Kipling
