    Wonder how it would work out if his gf reularly engaged in sex with anyone she wanted for a physical activity.

    I don’t think the relationship would continue “working”.

      You’re absolutely right. He would be devastated and react very negatively to his girlfriend “cheating” on him.

      The double standard is the size of Texas.

      I think that’s an unfair assessment based on negative stereotypes and only really serves to legitimatize the behavior you’re referring to.

      I would be uncomfortable with my partner hooking up with a stranger. That’s a betrayal of our shared values, and creates risks for both of us (e.g. unwanted pregnancy, STDs, and general drama that could create a lot of unnecessary stress). I would rather know that she has fallen for someone we’re both know preferably, and who she loves and believes she can trust implicitly. I would still feel a healthy amount of jealousy, and be worried about thing going wrong, and her being hurt. But I would trust her judgment, and trust she won’t run away and leave me to raise our kid on my own. But yeah, the sex, and intimacy in this case, wouldn’t bother me too much.
