Except in fiction. Some writers 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 [[HandWave swept under the rug]]. In these stories, it's often the case that a man falls in love with a woman as a long-term partner ''specifically because'' she [[ReallyGetsAround is promiscuous]], and even encourages her to sleep with other men after they are married. These stories take the MyGirlIsNotASlut 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.

This can sometimes be TruthInTelevision. [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/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." {{Polyamory}} 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.

Compersion often coexists with jealousy because relationships are complex.)

Although the title of this page is gendered female, it is also frequently applied to male characters. In fact, prior to the 20th Century it was almost exclusively applied to male characters because of the DoubleStandard (although the norm was always just for the woman to accept it, rather than actively encourage it). This is in no small part because of the psychological connection between male sexuality and battle prowress. A man who slept with lots of people (male or female in many societies) was presumed to be a good warrior, and vice versa. TheHero was either portrayed, or simply implied, to ReallyGetAround as evidence of his skills. Though the ChasteHero is equally OlderThanDirt, in older stories other characters will tend to assume this trope is in effect and be surprised (or even offended) by his lack of interest. Please note that use of the trope in this manner leads to the {{Unfortunate Implication|s}} that a man is not good enough unless he's getting laid constantly: a MindScrew that can cause a lot of unnecessary pain and heartache for real life men and women.

* Season 5 of ''WesternAnimation/BoJackHorseman'' has the family of Yolanda Bueneventura, Todd's (also [[UsefulNotes/{{Asexuality}} asexual]]) girlfriend, all of whom are involved in the sex industry. Her father is an erotic novelist, her mother starred in ''every'' Creator/JohnHughes [[ParallelPornTitles porn parody]], and her sister is a sex advice columnist. Beyond that, her parents ''want'' to hear the sounds of Yolanda and Todd having sex while staying the night, because they want to be sure their daughter is enjoying herself, and are ignorant of asexuality entirely.

* In ''VideoGame/StarWarsTheOldRepublic'' if the Sith Inquisitor is romancing SpacePirate Andronikos they have this kind of relationship. Flirting or even having occasional one-night-stands with other men only increases his affections (and he pursues side flings of his own as well). The Imperial Agent can also be played this way if romancing Kaliyo, who makes no effort to even pretend the relationship is exclusive.

** This is fairly common in RealLife gay relationships. Probably ''because'' none of the involved are a girl, which means MyGirlIsNotASlut doesn't really apply.[[note]]Most of the reasons for that instinct / social convention ultimately have to do with reproduction and patriarchal control of women's bodies. And men are more raised to view sex as seperate from love than women are.[[/note]]

Compersion often coexists with jealousy because relationships are complex.)
