In order to determine if all men cheat, I think it is necessary to define what is meant by "cheating". For some, cheating means having sex with someone else. For others, it means being involved emotionally with someone else (with or without sex). For others, cheating only occurs when lying and dishonesty are involved (meaning sex with another does not constitute cheating, if the person admits to it when asked).

For me, cheating as absolutely nothing to do with sex (especially if it is only a one time thing). If my wife came home and told me she had met guy and had sex with him, it would be no big deal. If, however, she waited a month to tell me then I'd view it differently since she avoided telling me. Or if I found out she was involved in a long term emotional relationship with someone I would definitely consider it cheating.

My point here is not that maybe your husband had sex only once so is not cheating. My point is that different people view cheating differently, so without defining what is meant by the term cheating it may be difficult to get a consensus on the question of do all men cheat. Personally, I think that having sex with more than one partner during a period of time is relatively common among men. With my views, however, this isn't necessarily cheating. I understand, though, that to many it is cheating, so we would answer the question differently based on the same evidence.
