His voyeurism isn't important in his womanizing, his background as growing up as a literal son of a whore and then actually living in a whorehouse is. He doesn't seem to value a lot of the important women in his life as anything more than objects to conquer. Really, the only positive relationships he has with women have been Anna, Joan and Peggy. Anna was kind of a mother figure to him, something he didn't have because his stepmother is who she is. He respects Joan, and doesn't take too kindly the idea she had to be whored out to acquire Jaguar's business. I can't adequately define he and Peggy's relationship.
He does care about his family, however, and I think his voyeurism, especially watching a non-blood relative get down whilst pregnant with Adam Whitman has lead to a pregnancy fixation as was evidenced when he got busy with Megan in the car after, correct me if I'm wrong, their little adventure into the burbs to have dinner with the Campbells and Cosgroves. Also, I don't take credit for this observation, but Don has a tendency to treat Megan as a daughter rather than a wife at times. So he does care about her at some level, but not enough to go shag other women.

That's a different and valid take, although I disagree with the sentiment that he cares about his family, albeit, children. I don't think he gives a shit. Otherwise, he'd be far more involved in their lives.
