 Peterson, appearing Friday night on CNN's "Larry King Live" with his attorney, Joel Brodsky, said that since his wife Stacy Peterson disappeared, he does not date but goes out socially once a week.
Peterson said he never cheated on Stacy Peterson but "technically" cheated on previous wives once the marriages broke down.
"Everybody says I cheated, but I went out and sought female attentions elsewhere after the marriages were over," Peterson said. "But we were still legally married, so technically I cheated."
Drew Peterson said a man he believes had an affair with Stacy Peterson before her disappearance is a nurse who still lives in the Chicago area.
Peterson told King he hadn't approached the man, saying, "No, I wouldn't do something like that."
Stacy Peterson received pornographic text messages from the man a few weeks to a month before she disappeared, lending credence to Drew Peterson's contention she left him for another man, Brodsky said on the broadcast.
Stacy Peterson's family and friends have maintained that while Peterson contemplated divorcing her husband, she was not having an affair.

 King read a statement from a friend of Stacy Peterson's, Pamela Bosco, who said Drew Peterson was more interested in high-profile TV interviews than finding his wife.
"Mr. Brodsky, Drew and his PR agent's constant appeal for public appearances is nothing more than an advertisement to promote Drew for future profit," Bosco said.
Stacy Peterson vanished Oct. 28. In November, police labeled her disappearance a possible homicide and named Drew Peterson, a former Bolingbrook police sergeant, a suspect.
Authorities are also trying to determine whether Drew Peterson had any role in the 2004 death of his ex-wife, Kathleen Savio.
Drew Peterson hasn't been charged and denies wrongdoing in both cases.
