This applies to both sexes. Both men and women fall in love, are tempted to cheat on their partners, and feel jealousy when they suspect their partners are cheating on them. If you know that someone has had sex with many different people, this makes them attractive for a one-night-stand, because it suggests that it will be easy to get them into bed and that they will probably be good in it, but it makes them poor prospects for a long-term relationship; they didn't "settle down" with anyone else, so they probably won't settle down with you. Conversely, someone who has carefully guarded their "innocence" is more likely to remain faithful once in a relationship, but they aren't going to settle for anything less than True Love, either. Again, this, too, applies to both sexes. Both men and women tend to categorize potential mates along these lines, according to what is often referred to as the "virgin/whore dichotomy."

[[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 [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.
