Except in porn. Writers of pornographic stories generally want to have characters that have sex, and a lot of it, with many different people. Sexual jealousy, and the desire not to provoke it in others, provides a reason for characters not to have sex, so it tends to be one of those things that get [[Hand Wave|swept under the rug]]. In pornographic stories, it's often the case that a man falls in love with a woman as a long-term partner ''specifically because'' she [[Really Gets Around|is promiscuous]], and even encourages her to sleep with other men after they are married. These stories take the [[My Girl Is Not a Slut]] trope, turn it upside down, throw it out the window, stomp on it, set it on fire, and then bury it at the bottom of the ocean. Their girl [[Really Gets Around|IS a slut]], and they prefer it that way.
 
Oddly enough, even this can sometimes be [[Truth in Television]]. [[wikipedia:Swinging|Swingers]] are people in committed relationships that have sex with other people that are also in the swinging lifestyle. In an open relationship, the partners are permitted to have sex outside of the relationship with whomever they wish, though it is usually understood to be "just sex." [[Tenchi Solution|Polyamoury]] takes this a step farther, with multiple romantic relationships allowed, as long as consideration is given to the feelings of all involved. And there are [https://web.archive.org/web/20080820122237/http://www.epjournal.net/filestore/ep021223.pdf various other reasons] why a partner's infidelity, or the potential for infidelity, might make a man more interested in having sex with her. [[The Other Wiki]] [[wikipedia:Troilism|has an article]] on the subject.

* Many of [[John Donne]]'s poems and essays are about how wonderful women are who sleep around. Seeing as how this is John Donne, (see [[Unreliable Narrator]]) it's difficult to tell whether he was being serious or sarcastic. Throughout history, people have argued both ways.
