A reason so far as what? I am a subscriber to many biological explanations for human beings, in fact, I am going to be involved in research that seeks causation for certain political behaviours that can be revealed in gene coding.

However, nothing exists in a vacuum. Culture, more specifically ethics, does seek to eliminate some of our more dirty biological behaviours and to a limited extent, at least cognitively, we have succeeded. In special regards to human sexuality, I do not subscribe to the poor justifications for the more "libertarian" definition of sexuality. That is, everything goes if there is a biological reason for it. Certain types of sexual behaviour should be socially frowned upon. Infidelity being one of them.
