* ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'''s Julia. Winston even at one point says, "The more men you've been with, the more I love you." Though mostly for political reasons.

* Vonda [=McIntyre=] seems to like putting polyamorous (or simply uninhibited) characters in her novels. It's the ''monogamous'' ones (like Arevin in ''Literature/{{Dreamsnake}}'') who tend to stand out.* In Creator/MarionZimmerBradley's ''Literature/TheMistsOfAvalon'', King Lot of Orkney and his wife, Morgause, both sleep around, and are both fully aware of it. But they're still each other's best friend and confidante, and she is heartbroken when he dies.

* GenderFlipped in ''ComicBook/StarWarsLegacy''. Cade Skywalker's primary LoveInterest Deliah Blue is a Zeltron, whose [[PlanetOfHats hat]] is being [[SmellsSexy pheromonal]] empathic [[BlueSkinnedSpaceBabe Pink-Skinned Space Babes]] that believe in EternalSexualFreedom. As such, she doesn't appear to mind him sleeping around as long as she knows about it (there's a brief scene where the two of them are shown frolicking with several other Zeltron women), she'd just ''really'' rather it not include [[EvilIsSexy Darth Talon]].

Contrast, obviously enough, MyGirlIsNotASlut, and, not so obviously, AllWomenAreLustful. Compare {{Polyamory}}, BeAWhoreToGetYourMan, EthicalSlut, {{Netorare}} SexIsGood and GoodBadGirl. Can/does overlap with ThePornomancer, ReallyGetsAround and [[ChickMagnet Dude Magnet]].

* Downplayed, if not outright subverted, with Kathy in ''VisualNovel/DaughterForDessert''. While in a relationship with the protagonist, Kathy still has sex with

women (and sometimes brings them into her sessions with the protagonist), but she is never shown or spoken to be sleeping with other men at any time in the story.

* [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/kalash93 Kalash93]] used this in [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/106068/1/relax/intimacy Relax]] to illustrate the closeness of the relationship between Haye and Klee, who is a prostitute. He loves her deeply and has absolutely no problems with her chosen profession.

[[folder:{{Film}}s]]

--> "I want you to know that just because of this you don't have to stop [[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=seeing&defid=221326 seeing]] other people."

-->'''Ben:''' Jackhole, you're not playing Deathquake. This is the real world.
-->'''Mark:''' Fuck you.
-->'''Cindy:''' It's Ben's pathetic concept of cool, just to pretend he's not afraid.
-->'''Ben:''' Hello, Cindy Freud. What's your concept of cool? Bang the entire class starting with "A"?
-->'''Cindy:''' If I'm what you just said, why do you try to hook me up nonstop?
-->'''Ben:''' I find the experience attractive.

-->'''Crow''': So, Mike, I learned from today's movie that Daphne was a slut, and Amy wasn't fun until she became a slut.
-->'''Mike Nelson''': Well, that's [[HardTruthAesop the fun message of today's movie]]!

* In ''Film/SinCity'' Marv falls for a prostitute who sleeps with him for protection, but it never reaches relationship status [[spoiler: because she's dead in the morning]]. Dwight carries a torch for Gail but refuses to be in a relationship with her because of just how bad ''he'd'' get. None of the characters actually get hung up about sexual histories, it's just not the kind of story where stable relationships happen.

* Many of Creator/JohnDonne's poems and essays are about how wonderful women are who sleep around. Seeing as how this is John Donne, (see UnreliableNarrator) it's difficult to tell whether he was being serious or sarcastic. Throughout history, people have argued both ways.
* In the UsefulNotes/WorldWarII novels by Creator/SvenHassel, the [[NoNameGiven character known only as The Westphalian]] is quite proud of his unfaithful wife back home. "I bet she's got a paying customer in bed right now. Think I'd want a wife who could only do it with a broom handle?"
* Vonda [=McIntyre=] seems to like putting polyamorous (or simply uninhibited) characters in her novels. It's the ''monogamous'' ones (like Arevin in ''Literature/{{Dreamsnake}}'') who tend to stand out.
* Literature/AnitaBlake.

* In Literature/TheBible, [[UnluckyEverydude Hosea]] is asked by God to marry a prostitute named Gomer, despite knowing that Gomer would cheat on him [[spoiler: even having to be literally ''bought back'' from another man]], as an object lesson to the people of Israel (who had fallen into [[WretchedHive corruption]] and idolatry). [[LoveMartyr Hosea does so willingly]].

* In Creator/MarionZimmerBradley's ''Literature/TheMistsOfAvalon'', King Lot of Orkney and his wife, Morgause, both sleep around, and are both fully aware of it. But they're still each other's best friend and confidante, and she is heartbroken when he dies.

* Belle on ''[[http://www.tv.com/shows/bedtime-stories Bedtime Stories]]''.

* 1st LT. Colleen [=McMurphy=] and K.C. on ''Series/ChinaBeach''.
* ''Series/CriminalMinds'': One episode features an unsub who is a married swinger. His kink is picking another married man for his wife to have sex with and then stepping in later. PlayedWith, though, because this is actually his way of being ''possessive'' of his wife; he's always the one to finish with her as a way of demonstrating his virility over the other men. When his wife becomes pregnant by one of their swinging partners, he becomes a serial killer trying to recreate the dynamic with other couples and killing them when it doesn't work.
* Blanche Devereaux on ''Series/TheGoldenGirls''.

---> Barney: Girls whose names end in -ly are always dirty. Holly, Kelly, Lily...
---> Marshall: Hey! That's... no, that's true.

* Samantha Jones on ''Series/SexAndTheCity''
* The title character of ''Series/{{House}}'' deduces as a child that the man his Mom is married to isn't really his father, and as an adult confirms this with a DNA text. He first assumes that his real father is a minister at his mother's church as they resemble one another.... And then later confirms with a DNA test that ''he's'' not his father either, meaning that she slept around at least twice while married. House, who hated his Mom's husband for being an abusive asshole and later became obsessed with bucking authority whenever possible, only feels closer to her when she finds out about this.

* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YrWsmlJSiw Bad Girlfriend]]" by Theory Of A Deadman.

* Subverted in Usher's "I Don't Mind", the theme of which is that he doesn't mind that his girlfriend is a stripper, because he knows she'll be faithful to him.

-->Nice girl but a bad girl's better
* "One Love at a Time" by Music/TanyaTucker.
* "Outlaw Women" by Hank Williams Jr.

* "Patricia the Stripper" by The Wombats
-->She works downtown in an unmarked bar,
-->Flyin' round poles she always gave me the fright of my life
-->I didn't mean to get involved it was the alcohol
-->Mixed with an empty feelin' inside.
--> It's such a bad idea to fall in love with a 'lady of the night'
** And then later in the song
-->Months go by and I'm alone in bed
-->While she's greasing up for when the businessmen and lawyers arrive
-->I've got to wear a beard a suit and a tie
-->To get past the door if I want to see my girl tonight
-->I go to all this effort just to see my fair Patricia going home with some other guy
* "Promiscuous Girl" by Nelly Furtado and featuring Timbaland.
* "Rebel Rebel" by Music/DavidBowie:
-->Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress
-->Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess
-->Rebel Rebel, how could they know?
-->Hot tramp, I love you so!

-->S-L-U-T - she may be a slut, but she looks good to me.
* The song "Tu reputacion" by Ricardo Arjona is about a man who doesn't mind that his actual girlfriend had slept with half the town (before she had finished high school), and even blesses all the men she had sex with before.
** Chorus goes (loose translation): "If your past is what taught you to love me this way, God bless those that came before me"
* Ben Kweller's song "Wasted and Ready" describes how one character likes the fact that his girlfriend is a "slut" and finds it sexy. The characters referred to are actually from the movie "The Doom Generation".
* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlLspwQaKqQ "Wild Thing"]] by The Troggs.

[[folder:Professional Wrestling]]
* Wrestling/{{Edge}} didn't like people calling Wrestling/{{Lita}} a slut, but he would gladly let her have sex with other people if it helped him win or keep a title belt...of course Edge would also let physical harm come to Lita to save his own skin and she, kind of just took it.

* When Wrestling/KurtAngle's wife Karen set out to undermine Wrestling/ChristianCage's Coalition by seducing its members, Kurt not only didn't care but ended up "giving" her to Wrestling/AJStyles until his business with Wrestling/SamoaJoe and the Wrestling/{{TNA}} World Heavyweight Title were finished.[[/folder]]

[[folder: Video Games]]

* 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.

* Downplayed, if not outright subverted, with Kathy in ''VisualNovel/DaughterForDessert''. While in a relationship with the protagonist, Kathy still has sex with women (and sometimes brings them into her sessions with the protagonist), but she is never shown or spoken to be sleeping with other men at any time in the story.

* The two main characters of ''Webcomic/BlurTheLines'', Rick and Drew, openly discuss their sexual escapades with other men with each other, even though they have been partners for ten years.
** 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 separate from love than women are.[[/note]]

* Swinging is an accepted fact of life in ''Webcomic/{{Insecticomics}}'' dating, but most obvious with Elita. Red Alert was very concerned to find Bombshell had installed several new programs in her...only to find out they were all antivirus programs.

* ''WebAnimation/UnbiasedHistory'' depicts Justinian as chosing Theodora as his wife [[ICanChangeMyBeloved because she would be a challenge to make a loyal wife]]. This leads him to marry the plebeian prostitute as his empress.

-->'''Bullock''': She's loose, [[RaceFetish she's Asian]], and [[ChubbyChaser she's fat]]. I hit the trifecta!

* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy''
** Peter, a huge Music/{{KISS}} fan, is very proud when he learned that his wife Lois once slept with Gene Simmons before he was famous. He proceeds to spend the rest of the episode making sure everyone else knows it, too. When interviewed on TV, Lois pretty much advises girls to sleep with everyone because they don't know who might become famous. It should be noted though, that he only feels that way about relationships Lois had before he met her. He is extremely defensive about any perceived flirting going on between Lois and other men now that they are together, even if it's Gene Simmons (or a male orca at Sea World... or ''his own reflection in the mirror''...), and was understandably upset when Lois slept with UsefulNotes/BillClinton (though when he goes to confront Bill, ''he'' ends up sleeping with him too because Bill is just ''[[ThePornomancer that good]]'').
** Lois also starred in the porno film ''Quest for Fur''.

--->"I guess the muscular one is alright, but the boy is going too far. Can't we just use the puppets again?"

** Like many things in the series - especially those involving Monarch's rather unstable psyche - the awkwardness is rather situational. When [[TheDragon 21]] finally snaps and admits to [[ItMakesSenseInContext getting buzzed on champagne and making out with Dr. Mrs. The Monarch while she was in a cheerleader outfit and he was in bondage gear while Monarch was unconscious under them]], he pretty much expects to have to fight Monarch to the death... Monarch laughs it off with "So you had a drunken three-way! [[ButForMeItWasTuesday We're supervillains, SWINGERS baby!]]" He then gets into ENTIRELY too much detail about a prior encounter with another villain, including the Doctor recalling what she cooked them all for breakfast.

* In ''Fanfic/IzukusProHeroHaremLife'', Izuku has absolutely '''''no''''' qualms with Ochako or any of the harem members having sex with each other within the polycule or about their sexual history before entering it, and in a [[GenderFlipped gender flipped]] [[Exaggeration exaggeration]], [[GoodBadGirl Ochako]] ''actively encourages'' Izuku to pick up ''more'' girls many times.

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 someone ''more'' interested rather than less. [[Wiki/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]] [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Troilism has an article]] on the subject. (The polyamorous community also employs the term [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamory#Compersion compersion]] for an empathetic experience of happiness and joy an individual experiences when another individual experiences the same emotions; this can occur not merely in the context of sex but also romantic relationships. Compersion often coexists with jealousy because relationships are complex.)

* The protagonist in ''Film/ChasingAmy'', as a way of getting over his [[MyGirlIsNotASlut hangups about his girlfriend's sexual history]], suggest that they have a threesome with his (male) roommate. Subverted in that she is ''not'' happy with the suggestion. As discussed in MyGirlIsNotASlut, this is a semi-autobiographical movie about Director/Silent Bob's real-life relationship with star Joey Lauren Adams and his insecurity about her past. He and she [[WordOfGod admit as much]] in interviews. However, it wasn't actually about sex, just that she had traveled and seen more of the world, while he'd barely been out of New Jersey.

-->'''Cindy:''' I'ts Ben's pathetic concept of cool, just to pretend he's not afraid.

* 15th-century French poet Francois Villon wrote a poem (''The Ballad of Fat Margot'') about his lover, who was a prostitute and even advertised her in it. He was parodying the love poetry of the era, which described women as virginal and unattainable.
* In Literature/TheBible, [[UnluckyEverydude Hosea]] is asked by God to marry a prostitute named Gomer, despite knowing that Gomer would cheat on him [[spoiler:even having to be literally ''bought back'' from another man]], as an object lesson to the people of Israel (who had fallen into [[WretchedHive corruption]] and idolatry). [[LoveMartyr Hosea does so willingly]].

* In Creator/WarrenEllis's ''Literature/CrookedLittleVein'', the protagonist's love interest is bi and poly. He jokes that he doesn't have a problem with her having sex with other women, but wants to be her only man. At the end, he gives in, saying she can sleep with anyone she wants, as long as she comes home to him. And damn if she's open-minded. She gives the protagonist a lecture about healthy bestiality relationships at one point when he dares to be offended.

* ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'''s Julia. Winston even at one point says, "The more men you've been with the more I love you." Though mostly for political reasons.
* Poseidon and Amphitrite has this kind of relationship in ''Seeds'' by M. M. Kin. They remain married, while each has occasional lovers on the side. The arrangement works because they agreed on everything at the beginning and are actually very happy with each other, as opposed to Zeus and Hera.

* Johnny in ''Literature/TheTruthOfRockAndRoll'' loves Jenny for her experience and GoodBadGirl free-spiritedness. There is a moment when she doubts this - "So basically...Both your parents think I’m a whore. Are you worried that they’re right?...Do you not want to be with me now that I’m a whore?...I like to wear these clothes, Johnny. I like to wear this makeup, I like to dance sexy and I like to fuck. Until tonight, I thought you liked those things about me." - but he quickly reassures her that he does; he just fears that he's giving her a bad reputation. She finds this hilarious.
* In a male example, Seth from ''Literature/WickedLovely'' by Melissa Marr was a promiscuous sleeper until he [[spoiler:falls in love with and starts going out with the main character.]]

* The title character of ''Series/{{House}}'' deduces as a child that the man his Mom is married to isn't really his father, and as an adult confirms this with a DNA text. He first assumes that his real father is a minister at his mother's church as they resemble one another.... And then later confirms with a DNA test that ''he's'' not his father either, meaning that she slept around at least twice while married. House, who hated his Mom's husband for being an abusive asshole and later became a obsessed with bucking authority whenever possible, only feels closer to her when she finds out about this.

-->Its such a bad idea to fall in love with a 'lady of the night'

-->I've got to wear a beard a suit and tie

* [[Wrestling/JohnMorrison Johnny Nitro]] was initially teased with being unable to keep Wrestling/{{Melina}}'s loyalty but she ''was'' loyal, as she would "wear out" opponents of his and Joey Matthews/Mercury. But [[GoSeduceMyArchnemesis then they tried it]] on Wrestling/{{Batista}}, which apparently only made him stronger.[[note]]This becomes much HarsherInHindsight if you give credence to certain rumors about the real-life interactions of John Hennigan/Melina Perez/Dave Bautista, namely that supposedly Melina (while in a relationship with John offscreen as well as on) slept with Bautista in real life and John was 'okay' with it, which led to negative opinion of John in the locker room and among management for not being 'a man'. Allegedly.[[/note]]

* ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'''s Julia. Winston even at one point says, "The more men you've been with the more I love you." [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped Though mostly for political reasons]].

* Kenny from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' is quite overjoyed to learn his girlfriend is a "slut" in the episode "The Ring". This is more or less the reason he started dating her in the first place, which didn't make him happy when she became "born again". [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten The girlfriend in question had performed oral sex on one boy.]] Kenny was trying to make it two. He succeeded, [[DeathBySex but he died of syphilis after.]] Knowing the character, still WorthIt.

* GenderFlipped in ''ComicBook/StarWarsLegacy''. Cade Skywalker's primary LoveInterest Deliah Blue is a Zeltron, whose [[PlanetOfHats hat]] is being [[SmellsSexy pheromonal]] empaths that believe in EternalSexualFreedom. As such, she doesn't appear to mind him sleeping around as long as she knows about it (there's a brief scene where the two of them are shown frolicking with several other Zeltron women), she'd just ''really'' rather it not include [[EvilIsSexy Darth Talon]].

** The episode "The Buddy System" uses this as a basis for a joke, explicitly stating that The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend have actually experimented with this at some point in the past. It should be noted that it was the Monarch's idea (and felt awkward afterwards). He ''did'' seem to be turned on when she was seducing [[FoeYay Doctor Venture]].

* ''Film/AMillionWaysToDieInTheWest'': Edward is dating Ruth the prostitute, and is not so discouraging of her profession.

* In a scene in ''Film/HaroldAndKumarGoToWhiteCastle'', a disfigured man nicknamed Freakshow suggests, in an offhand manner, to Harold and Kumar that they "fuck his wife". When they meet his wife, they are [[UglyGuyHotWife surprised to find that she is very pretty]]. She asks to have sex with them, but only on the condition that both of them penetrate her at the same time. Harold and Kumar hesitate because they are uneasy about the implications that they would also be having sex with ''each other''. Before anything happens, Freakshow walks in and appears to be angry; he calms down when reminded that he gave them permission, but then insists on participating. Harold and Kumar immediately leave, and [[LetUsNeverSpeakOfThisAgain resolve never to speak of it again]].

* ''Film/{{Hobgoblins}}''. Daphne, and Amy by the conclusion.
-->'''Crow''': So, Mike, I learned from today's movie that Daphne was a slut, and Amy wasn't fun until she became a slut.
-->'''Mike Nelson''': Well, that's [[HardTruthAesop the fun message of today's movie]]!
* In ''Film/SinCity'' Marv falls for a prostitute who sleeps with him for protection, but it never reaches relationship status [[spoiler: because she's dead in the morning]]. Dwight carries a torch for Gail but refuses to be in a relationship with her because of just how bad ''he'd'' get. None of the characters actually get hung up about sexual histories, it's just not the kind of story where stable relationships happen.
* Played with in the film ''Film/DangerousBeauty'': the title character, Veronica Franco, is a [[HighClassCallGirl courtesan]], and has ''many'' lovers over the course of her career. One of those lovers, Marco Venier, really is in love with her and wants her to be his alone. She eventually agrees to be his mistress and not to sleep with any other men anymore but gets called out of retirement to sleep with King Henri III of France to win his support for Venice's war against the Ottomans. Marco, as he says, "cannot bear it."
* In the original ''Film/{{Emmanuelle}}'' films, Jean encourages Emmanuelle to sleep with other men (and women), although he does get angry when she runs off with Bee.
* In ''Film/{{Caddyshack}}'' Danny becomes infatuated with Lacey and he becomes more attracted to her after Maggie tells him about [[ReallyGetsAround her reputation]]. Lacey later [[ThePornomancer picks up Danny and takes him to bed]]. The two [[CoitusEnsues are then making love]]. During [[ModestyBedsheet their pillow talk]], Lacey's giggling shows approval of what he just said after Danny tells her:
--> "I want you to know that just because of this you don't have to stop [[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=seeing&defid=221326 seeing]] other people."

* ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour'''s Julia. Winston even at one point says, "The more men you've been with the more I love you." [[SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped Though mostly for political reasons]].

* Lazarus Long's mother in [[Creator/RobertAHeinlein Heinlein's]] ''Literature/TimeEnoughForLove'' takes "MILF" to [[ParentalIncest absurd extremes]]. In general, [[AuthorAppeal many of Heinlein's books had characters that were pretty big on "free love"]]. In ''Literature/JobAComedyOfJustice'', it's implied that parental incest is itself a cool and groovy thing by the wife of the protagonist's best friend, in regard to their teenage daughter. [[spoiler: Of course, nothing is what it seems in that scene. He is Satan in an assumed form, she is an Ascended Human, and the "daughter" is not related to either of them - she's an afreet. They're all playing with the protagonist's head to try to shake his rigid assumptions about Right and Wrong. Since this is done in an expository and sympathetic manner rather than an evil one, it may not matter.]]
* Miriam "Starhawk" Simos, in her novel ''The Fifth Sacred Thing'', wrote a poem blessing a lover's other and/or previous partners for having "made you who you are."
* Vonda [=McIntyre=] seems to like putting polyamorous (or simply uninhibited) characters in her novels. It's the ''monogamous'' ones (like Arevin in ''Literature/{{Dreamsnake}}'') who tend to stand out.
* All characters in ''Literature/BraveNewWorld'', having their first sexual experiences long before puberty. And society considers monogamous relationships to be an unusual perversion. In fact, Lenina was criticized by her friend for not being slutty ''enough''. Henry, Lenina's semi-regular partner, is always curious about who else she goes out with.

* In the UsefulNotes/WorldWarII novels by Creator/SvenHassel, the [[NoNameGiven character known only as The Westphalian]] is quite proud of his unfaithful wife back home. "I bet she's got a paying customer in bed right now. Think I'd want a wife who could only do it with a broom handle?"

[[LoveMartyr Hosea does so willingly]].
* In ''Literature/TheGreatGatsby'', when he first met her, Gatsby believed that Daisy's past history with many men made her "valuable."
* Many of Creator/JohnDonne's poems and essays are about how wonderful women are who sleep around. Seeing as how this is John Donne, (see UnreliableNarrator) it's difficult to tell whether he was being serious or sarcastic. Throughout history, people have argued both ways.

* In ''Literature/FlowersForAlgernon'' Charlie doesn't particularly mind Fay having many partners before and during their relationship because they were more FriendsWithBenefits anyway.

* Grace Hanadarko from ''Series/SavingGrace'', oh my. At one point an attorney digs up every guy Grace slept with over the summer and drags them into the police station. Grace remarks that they'd have to get a new building if he dug up the fall and winter guys too.

* Samantha Jones on ''Series/SexAndTheCity''

* 1st LT. Colleen [=McMurphy=] and K.C. on ''Series/ChinaBeach''.
* At one point in ''Series/{{Scrubs}}'', [[DrJerk Dr. Cox]] has the dozens of people who've slept with Jordan (his ex-wife) raise their hands, then thanks whoever it was who taught her the Reverse Cowgirl Position. You're welcome!
* Stumpy on ''Series/{{Carnivale}}'' is not only Rita Sue's husband, but he's also her on-stage promoter and pimp, so he financially benefits from this trope. Their daughters are strippers as well. According to WordOfGod, such family-run "cooch shows" were TruthInTelevision in the 1930s. A few potholes aside, Stumpy and Rita Sue actually have one of the healthiest relationships on the show (which isn't saying much, considering how screwed up everybody is).
* When Mac and Charlie find out that Dee has been having more sex with more partners than anyone else on ''Series/ItsAlwaysSunnyInPhiladelphia'' they become profoundly jealous.

* The song "Tu reputacion" by Ricardo Arjona is about a man who doesn't mind that his actual girlfriend had slept with half the town (before she had finished high school), and even blesses all the men she had sex with before.

* Wrestling/JimmyJacobs allowed The Lovely Lacey to have sex with other men in order to further The Age Of The Fall. This ended up backfiring on him when he tried to lure in Wrestling/AustinAries with her, but Lacey ended up falling for Aries instead.

It should be noted though, that he only feels that way about relationships Lois had before he met her. He is extremely defensive about any perceived flirting going on between Lois and other men now that they are together, even if it's Gene Simmons (or a male orca at Sea World... or ''his own reflection in the mirror''...), and was understandably upset when Lois slept with UsefulNotes/BillClinton (though when he goes to confront Bill, ''he'' ends up sleeping with him too because Bill is just ''[[ThePornomancer that good]]'').
** Lois also starred in the porno film ''Quest for Fur''.
* Kenny from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' is quite overjoyed to learn his girlfriend is a "slut" in the episode "The Ring". This is more or less the reason he started dating her in the first place, which didn't make him happy when she became "born again". [[OnceDoneNeverForgotten The girlfriend in question had performed oral sex on one boy.]] Kenny was trying to make it two. He succeeded, [[DeathBySex but he died of syphilis after.]] Knowing the character, still WorthIt.
* Six on ''WesternAnimation/TrippingTheRift'' was originally designed as a SexBot and serves as the ship's science officer because she's the smartest one on the ship.
* In ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad,'' this is part of Avery's [[HasAType type]]:
-->'''Bullock''': She's loose, [[RaceFetish she's Asian]], and [[ChubbyChaser she's fat]]. I hit the trifecta!
* 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.

* There's a weird mix when it comes to Marshall and Lily in ''Series/HowIMetYourMother''. On one hand, he considers it a point of pride that neither one of them has slept with anyone else. On the other, he's also pretty proud of some of the wild turns their sex lives have taken since then:
--> Barney: "Girls whose names end in -ly are always dirty. Holly, Kelly, Lily..."
--> Marshall: "Hey! That's... no, that's true."
** Season 7 also has Barney constantly brag about dating a stripper. [[spoiler: Although it's actually {{Deconstructed}} as he struggles to deal with this.]]

* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'' episode 'The Buddy System' uses this as a basis for a joke, explicitly stating that The Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend have actually experimented with this at some point in the past. It should be noted that it was the Monarch's idea (and felt awkward afterwards). He ''did'' seem to be turned on when she was seducing [[FoeYay Doctor Venture]].

* In Literature/TheBible, [[UnluckyEverydude Hosea]] is asked by God to marry a prostitute named Gomer, despite knowing that Gomer would [[YourCheatingHeart cheat on him]] [[spoiler: even having to be literally ''bought back'' from another man]], as an object lesson to the people of Israel (who had fallen into [[WretchedHive corruption]] and idolatry). [[LoveMartyr Hosea does so willingly]].

-->'''Mike Nelson''': Well, that's [[FamilyUnfriendlyAesop the fun message of today's movie]]!

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]]. Or, in some cases, less {{HandWave}}d and more {{actively constructed as bad|Demonization}}: often because of an erroneous assumption that jealousy inevitably leads to DomesticAbuse (it doesn't, the reasons for abuse are ''very complicated''). 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. Their girl [[ReallyGetsAround IS a slut]], and they prefer it that way.

* In the original ''Film/{{Emmanuelle}}'' films, Jean encourages Emmanuelle to sleep with other men ([[BiTheWay and women]]), although he does get angry when she runs off with Bee.
