My opinion: Sexual promiscuity, if it can be accepted or hidden, is a net evolutionary positive for the cheater, albeit a negative for the cheatee. And the opportunity to cheat presents itself when there has been a divergence in the sexual market value of the parties, which of course is typically wifey's SMV going down relative to hubby's.

The world is changing. Entitled people chasing feelers will destroy the concept and every benefit to marriage. "Cheating" might be a term that goes by the wayside eventually.

Just the other day on a dating app, I saw a 31yo MARRIED HB7 looking for a boyfriend. It blew me away.

This was her profile:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Married poly professional with a great boyfriend locally and one in Detroit. Looking for someone to date who's open to my fun easy going lifestyle. Yes my husband knows I'm on here. 2017 is the year of me! who's open to exploring the unknown and making everyday and adventure?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I see more things like this on dating apps than ever before.

I was at a sporting event last weekend sitting in the grandstand and watched 2 couples seated in front of me. Girl A was touching all over Girl B. Guy A was leaned back against guy B and had his head in the others crotch. Girl B was rubbing all over both Guy A and Guy B. It was like it was some big full swap free for all.

This new age schitt makes the stuff that goes on at $trip Clubs look like childs play.

There were open relationships when I was a kid back in the 60s. It's nothing new, even if it's more common now. Doesn't mean everybody is into it.

A married woman looking for a boyfriend what a piece of s*** I honestly hope she dies a terrible death. Just matter of fact.

Why the hate? She's effectively given up hypergamy and is spinning plates open and honestly. Her husband is probably having a good time too with other girls. Sounds like a win win to me

Promiscuity is not a good look on a woman.

If a girl has a lot of sexual partners that doesn't make her unattractive to me. It just means she isn't gf material, but makes a great plate. The fact that she is declared herself polygamous also means she isn't gonna have issue with you sleeping with other women.

You get points for being open minded, I guess. There have always been two types of women: wife/gf material and slvtty/prostitute/strippers. The latter can get away with being more sleazy.

There's a reason for the double standard though (where women get looked down upon for being promiscuous). From an evolutionary standpoint (which is something they like to refer to here a lot), a woman who can lock down a husband to help support her children is at an advantage.

Being slvtty doesn't automatically qualify a girl as a great plate, IMO. YMMV. A woman doesn't have to be a virgin (certainly not in this day and age), but I tend to respect the wife/gf material type than the girl who just puts it out there for anybody.

Monogamy, in my opinion, is stupid. In the past it was needed to ensure children belonged to the man. With genetic testing now we don't need forced monogamy.

Sex is just a natural biological function, like eating. Only we REALLY don't need sex to live... you have to eat. We place WAY too much importance on sex, relatively speaking it's just not that fvcking (no pun intended) important.

I have 3 women now I date and sleep with on a regular basis (lost one last week), they, I am sure they fvck other dudes... I honestly do not care. I wear a condom and I am careful... never had an STD. I'm not trying to insult or belittle anyone, I just do not understand why men get so bent out of shape about chicks fvcking other dudes? I'm sure it's me... because most guys I know have a real problem with this.

Most dudes are secretly hoping that they'll still meet "the one." Or that the girl is going to somehow morph into a loyal princess because of his magical presence. When she doesn't, the problem MUST be that she, and all other females, are immoral sluts incapable of being loyal to any man.

Otherwise he'd have to admit he was just another c0ck on the carousal.

I actually think that sex is a bigger deal than the community makes it out to be - considering that the result can be a child, and that promiscuity can lead to STDs. Yes, I know we have pretty good birth control and protection these days, but nothing is 100%. I don't think sex should be take too lightly. Besides, I freaking hate condoms.

I don't believe in a "one" or princesses, although I have no problem with monogamy (not talking about lifelong monogamy here). But I genuinely am disgusted at the thought of sharing a vagina with another penis. I believe this sense of revulsion is consistent with evolutionary advantage and therefore a natural reaction, so I see no reason to try to change it. Admittedly, when I was younger, I was so horny I didn't really care, but as I've gotten older, I've found it more repulsive.

Actually, quite the opposite. Studies have shown that when a primates (including us humans) jizz inside of a female, he'll actually jizz a lot more volume if he thinks that somebody else has recently jizzed.

Men are evolutionarily programmed to out-jiz the competition in case of potentially shared pvssies.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sperm_Wars

Baker also proposes that men adjust the amount of sperm they ejaculate based on the time their mate has spent away from them.[7] Likewise, women are found to be more likely to engage in extra-pair copulation and retain larger amounts of sperm during their most fertile phase of the month, and more likely to have sex with their regular partner during the infertile phase.

All's fair in love and war, and may the strongest jizzer win.

Gentleman, Jiz away!

If you want your seed to survive, which is more likely to accomplish it:
1) You jizz into a woman along with 24 other dudes
2) You are the only man jizzing into a woman

The answer is not complicated, no matter how much extra "compensatory jizz" you might work up. Besides, if you jizz more, the guy next to you will jizz more too.

It doesn't have to be. But it usually is since evolution needs only slight advantages to take place over LONG periods of time.

Dudes who had the capacity to jizz more when they didn't see their ladies compared to normal jizzers had an evolutionary advantage OVER TIME.

The "over time" part is the most important. As an evolutionary advantage adds up over thousands of generations, so having 1% advantage is plenty.

The two ideas are also not mutually exclusive, but you could do an imaginary split test to see who would win.

Genotype A: The guy who ONLY hooks up with girls he's reasonably sure haven't hooked up any other dudes

Genotype B: The guy who bangs everything in sight AND can produce the most jizz when needed

Genotype C: A guy who does his best to make sure his lady is only his, BUT also jizzes like a monster whenever he's not sure.

It's kind of like whole "are humans monogamous" debate. It's both, under different conditions.

Humans CAN be monogamous, but throughout history, whenever any one dude COULD monopolize a bunch of ladies, he did, and the ladies were just fine with it. So they say we are monogamous but have a tendency to be polygamous when the opportunity presents itself.

Similarly, it could be said that we prefer a loyal lady, but we are ready to out jizz the competition when we need to. At least the winners of the evolutionary jizz contest are.

AND mother nature doesn't give two fvcks about us as individuals, it's all about the survival of the species as a whole.

She's perfectly fine with mother fish eating half their babies, wasps laying eggs in their live victims so the baby wasps can eat the still alive host from the inside out.

I doubt she has a problem with beta dudes getting out jizzed by strangers in their imaginary loyal princess vagina.

Thank God for the way out. Otherwise we'd be like poor Sisyphus... in danger of getting syphilis.:D

I think we are hardwired for this, which reflects our desire for intimacy.... or a shared privacy.
