6->'''Winston:''' Listen. The more men you've had, the more I love you. Do you understand that?\
7'''Julia:''' Yes, perfectly.\
8'''Winston:''' I hate purity, I hate goodness! I don't want any virtue to exist anywhere. I want everyone to be corrupt to the bones.\
9'''Julia:''' Well then, I ought to suit you, dear. I'm corrupt to the bones.
10-->-- ''Literature/NineteenEightyFour''
11
12Rather than being [[MyGirlIsNotASlut scorned]] for being promiscuous, [[AlwaysFemale a woman]] is lauded for being promiscuous.
13
14One thing that makes life "interesting" for us humans is that many societies (and Anglophone culture in particular, as ''very'' distinct from [[EuropeansAreKinky Francophone]]) contain a fundamental tension when it comes to sex:
15
16* We desire to be polyamorous, having access to multiple attractive sexual partners.
17* We desire that our sexual partners, especially our long-term partners, be monogamous and not have any sexual partners other than ourselves.
18
19This 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 [[MadonnaWhoreComplex "virgin/whore dichotomy"]]. In other words, in spite of its other supposed benefits, sleeping around will tend to make it harder to find a steady, long-term relationship.
20
21Except 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 {{Hand Wave}}d and more [[{{Demonization}} actively constructed as bad]]: 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.
22
23Although 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 prowess. 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.

25This can sometimes be TruthInTelevision. [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Swinging_(sexual_practice) 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. [[Website/{{Wikipedia}} The Other Wiki]] [[https://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.)

27Please limit examples to mainstream fiction. There's no point in mentioning any of the millions of "hot wife" stories that can be found on erotic fiction sites.

29Contrast, obviously enough, MyGirlIsNotASlut, and, not so obviously, AllWomenAreLustful. Compare {{Polyamory}}, BeAWhoreToGetYourMan, EthicalSlut, {{Netorare}}, SexIsGood and GoodBadGirl. Often overlaps with ThePornomancer, ReallyGetsAround and [[ChickMagnet Dude Magnet]].

36[[folder:Advertising]]
37* Discussed in the English Leather commercials of the [[TheSeventies 1970s]]. In [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-6tHbOP2rqg this ad]], a [[ChickMagnet very attractive]], liberated woman describes the kind of men who gain acceptance into her [[http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=stable&defid=8133497 stable of studs]] before saying "''All'' my men wear English Leather or they wear nothing at all.".[[note]]When the adjective "liberated" is used to describe a [[AlwaysFemale female character]], it usually means that she's '''sexually liberated'''.[[/note]]
38[[/folder]]
39
40[[folder:Anime & Manga]]
41* ''Manga/AyakashiTriangle'': Though Reo competes with Suzu and Soga for Matsuri's romantic attention, she variously treats it as a FriendlyRivalry or seems outright aroused by the idea of Matsuri being with people besides her. Reo also hit on Suzu once, furthering suggesting she's open to polyamory.
42* ''Manga/BootyRoyaleNeverGoDownWithoutAFight'':
43** Hatsumi Hime records Misora having sex with Akira on a hidden camera and uses it to extort sex from Misora as well. Misora tells Akira immediately after... who promptly jumps her bones, finding it a turn-on. It's shown later that Akira doesn't mind sharing Misora with other women in the slightest.
44** {{Downplayed}} between Yajima and Kurisu. While Kurisu is a gravure model and occasionally does soft-core porn photo shoots, her modelling opportuities are rare because her freckled face and her biracial ethnicity[[note]]she's Japanese/American[[/note]] makes her unappealing to most Japanese men. None of which stopped Yajima from developing a crush on her. They officially become a couple by the end of chapter 28.
45* ''Anime/LupinIII'': Even accounting for Fujiko Mine's ChronicBackstabbingDisorder, she and Arsene Lupin III genuinely love each other, but have a completely open relationship. They actually did try settling down prior to ''Anime/LupinIIIPart5'' but both of them found it too restrictive and dull, so they soon went back to their promiscuous ways.
46[[/folder]]
47
48[[folder:Comic Books]]
49* [[GenderInvertedTrope Gender-inverted]] in ''ComicBook/StarWarsLegacy''. Cade Skywalker's primary LoveInterest Deliah Blue is a Zeltron, whose [[PlanetOfHats hat]] is being [[SmellsSexy pheromonal]] empathic [[GreenSkinnedSpaceBabe Pink-Skinned Space Babes]] that believe in FreeLoveFuture. 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 Darth Talon.
50[[/folder]]
51
52[[folder:Fan Works]]
53* [[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.
54* ''Fanfic/UnbreakableRedSilkenThread'': An unusual case when it comes to Heather and Cody. The nature of their relationship would lead most to thinking this is the case, when it's actually [[SubvertedTrope subverted]]. Heather herself is actually ashamed of her sexual history though masks it well, Cody on the other hand focuses less on the fact that she has history and more on the fact that she chose him despite it.
55[[/folder]]
56
57[[folder:Films -- Live-Action]]
58* The film ''Film/BobAndCarolAndTedAndAlice'' is about two couples who, inspired by the "free love" atmosphere of a 1960s subculture, decide to try out the swinging lifestyle. Though what it shows is certainly the most chaste foursome of all time.
59* 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 are then making love. During [[ModestyBedsheet their pillow talk]], Lacey's giggling shows approval of what he just said after Danny tells her:
60-->'''Danny:''' 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.
61* The protagonist in ''Film/ChasingAmy'', as a way of getting over his [[MyGirlIsNotASlut hangups about his girlfriend's sexual history]], suggests 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.
62* This trope is discussed in ''Film/CherryFalls'' during this dialog between Ben and Cindy who is the [[ReallyGetsAround village bicycle]]:
63-->'''Ben:''' Jackhole, you're not playing Deathquake. This is the real world.\
64'''Mark:''' Fuck you.\
65'''Cindy:''' It's Ben's pathetic concept of cool, just to pretend he's not afraid.\
66'''Ben:''' Hello, Cindy Freud. What's your concept of cool? Bang the entire class starting with "A"?\
67'''Cindy:''' If I'm what you just said, why do you try to hook me up nonstop?\
68'''Ben:''' I find the experience attractive.
69* 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."
70* 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.
71* ''Film/TheGardenOfTheFinziContinis'': Bruno the rake says he likes his girlfriend Gladys precisely because she is so slutty.
72* 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]].
73* ''Film/{{Hobgoblins}}''. Daphne, and Amy by the conclusion. Zigzagged regarding Daphne and Nick. Nick is happy how horny Daphne is towards him, but is fairly upset to see heavy implications she had been sleeping around while he was deployed in the army.
74-->'''Crow:''' So, Mike, I learned from today's movie that Daphne was a slut, and Amy wasn't fun until she became a slut.\
75'''Mike Nelson:''' Well, that's [[HardTruthAesop the fun message of today's movie]]!
76* ''Film/AMillionWaysToDieInTheWest'': Edward is dating Ruth the prostitute, and is not so discouraging of her profession.
77* Played with in ''Film/{{Nowhere}}''. Dark is in an open relationship with his girlfriend, but feels ambivalent about it and seems to want true love and a more traditional relationship. But he also is crushing on MysteriousWaif Montgomery.
78* 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.
79[[/folder]]
80
81[[folder:Literature]]
82* ''Literature/AnitaBlake'':
83** Although this surprisingly never reaches the heart of the trope. It's presented as vital to Anita's political, physical and metaphysical safety that she ''have'' an ever-expanding pool of men, and (partly due to her powers modifying them) the reactions of the men in her life to this fact vary from blissed-out indifference to very grudging acceptance (with occasional tantrums)... but Anita still won't do more than an emergency hookup with a man who's actually ''attracted'' by this.
84** In the ''Riley Jensen, Guardian'' series by Keri Arthur, which one might say was "inspired" by the Anita Blake books, the main character is a werewolf, and werewolf society is very blase about sex, due to werewolves basically going "on heat" every full moon. Riley's romantic interests tend to take this poorly, though Riley's attitude is like it or lump it.
85* 15th-century French poet Francois Villon wrote a poem (''The Ballad of Fat Margot'') about his lover, who was a prostitute, and he even advertised her in it. He was parodying the love poetry of the era, which described women as virginal and unattainable.
86* 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]].
87* 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.
88* 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. In 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.
89* ''Literature/DirigentMercenaryCorps'': One of protagonist Lon Nolan's fellow officer cadets is engaged to a worker at a local brothel, and recommends her to all his friends. Nolan doesn't take him up on it: he's weirded out by the idea of being invited to sleep with another man's fiancee, sex worker or not.
90* 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.
91* Applies to Caesar and Servilia's relationship in the ''Emperor'' series. When they meet, Servilia is a prostitute, and there's never any evidence that Caesar has a problem with her keeping up that profession while they're together. Similarly, Servilia doesn't mind his sleeping with other women - in fact, she encourages him to marry a young, fertile woman so he can have a son. A relationship doesn't really get more open than that...
92** When a woman's lover has a very significantly higher social status than herself, possession often takes the back seat to affiliation, which she wouldn't dare endanger. The benefits outweigh the costs, especially for individuals as sexually practical as prostitutes. Furthermore, the Romans, especially patricians, had an extremely fun-rather-than-procreation perception of sex.
93** What makes it a bit ironic is that while Caesar's first wife is still alive he remains completely faithful to her, even when she is unable to have sex with him, and when they are apart.
94* In ''Literature/FlowersForAlgernon'' Charlie doesn't particularly mind Fay having many partners before and during their relationship because they were more FriendsWithBenefits anyway.
95* In ''Literature/TheGreatGatsby'', when he first met her, Gatsby believed that Daisy's past history with many men made her "valuable."
96* Miriam "Starhawk" Simos, in her novel ''Literature/TheFifthSacredThing'', wrote a poem blessing a lover's other and/or previous partners for having "made you who you are."
97* 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.
98* 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.
99* ''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 (the only sex allowed in the {{dystopia}} of Oceania for members of the Party is for the purpose of procreation, and only with the spouse the Party assigns you -- [[NoSexAllowed any other kind of sex is verboten]]).
100* Poseidon and Amphitrite have 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.
101* 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.]]
102* 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.
103* 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.]]
104* 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?"
105[[/folder]]
106
107[[folder:Live-Action TV]]
108%%* Belle on ''[[http://www.tv.com/shows/bedtime-stories Bedtime Stories]]''.
109* 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).
110%%* 1st LT. Colleen [=McMurphy=] and K.C. on ''Series/ChinaBeach''.
111* ''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.
112%%* Blanche Devereaux on ''Series/TheGoldenGirls''.
113* 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 test. 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.
114* ''Series/HowIMetYourMother'':
115** There's a weird mix when it comes to Marshall and Lily in. 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:
116--->'''Barney:''' Girls whose names end in -ly are always dirty. Holly, Kelly, Lily...\
117'''Marshall:''' Hey! That's... no, that's true.
118** Season 7 also has Barney constantly brag about dating a stripper, although it's eventually {{Deconstructed}} as it's revealed that he struggles to deal with this.
119* 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.
120* ''Series/MidsomerMurders'': In "[[Recap/MidsomerMurdersS4E5 Dark Autumn]]", Owen August knows his wife is having affairs with other men and allows it, provided he is allowed to listen while she's having sex.
121* 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.
122* 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!
123%%* Samantha Jones on ''Series/SexAndTheCity''
124[[/folder]]
125
126[[folder:Music]]
127* 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''"
128* "Rebel Rebel" by Music/DavidBowie:
129-->''Rebel Rebel, you've torn your dress\
130 Rebel Rebel, your face is a mess\
131 Rebel Rebel, how could they know?\
132 Hot tramp, I love you so!''
133%%* Music/LeonardCohen's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=u-kYKbYUw5Y "Paper Thin Hotel"]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Lin-a2lTelg "Everybody Knows"]].
134* Parodied by the Irish comedy band Music/DeadCatBounce; at some point during their performances, the band members trade instruments except for the bassist, who then claims that he'd never cheat on his bass, but doesn't mind if other guys play her.
135%%* "Promiscuous Girl" by Nelly Furtado and featuring Timbaland.
136* Music/JethroTull's "Kissing Willie" sums it up in one line:
137-->''Nice girl but a bad girl's better''
138* 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".
139* Music/ToddRundgren's "Slut", from ''Music/SomethingAnything''. It's right there in the title!
140-->''S-L-U-T - she may be a slut, but she looks good to me.''
141%%* "One Love at a Time" by Music/TanyaTucker.
142%%* "[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9YrWsmlJSiw Bad Girlfriend]]" by Theory of a Deadman.
143%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YlLspwQaKqQ "Wild Thing"]] by The Troggs.
144* 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.
145%%* "Outlaw Women" by Hank Williams Jr.
146* "Patricia the Stripper" by The Wombats:
147-->''She works downtown in an unmarked bar,\
148 Flyin' round poles she always gave me the fright of my life\
149 I didn't mean to get involved it was the alcohol\
150 Mixed with an empty feelin' inside.\
151 It's such a bad idea to fall in love with a "lady of the night"\
152[and then later in the song]\
153 Months go by and I'm alone in bed\
154 While she's greasing up for when the businessmen and lawyers arrive\
155 I've got to wear a beard a suit and a tie\
156 To get past the door if I want to see my girl tonight\
157 I go to all this effort just to see my fair Patricia going home with some other guy''
158[[/folder]]
159
160[[folder:Pro Wrestling]]
161* Wrestling/{{Edge|Wrestler}} 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.
162* Jackie Gayda would openly throw herself at the opponents of [[Wrestling/TheWorldsGreatestTagTeam Charlie Haas and his]] [[Wrestling/RicoConstantino tag team partners]]. However, she didn't like it when ''he'' made moves on other women, such as Wrestling/DawnMarie and Haas did take issue with Marco Corolone's advances towards Jackie in EAW.
163* 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.
164* [[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's. 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 opinions of John in the locker room and among management for not being 'a man'. Allegedly.[[/note]]
165* 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.
166[[/folder]]
167

169* ''Theatre/AvenueQ'''s [[ExactlyWhatItSaysOnTheTin Lucy the Slut]]. She sings a song where she says "I can make you feel special".
170* ''Theatre/OnAClearDayYouCanSeeForever'' has Sir Hubert's description of one Dolly Wainwhistle:
171-->"Shameless, wanton, ignorant, depraved! All a man could ever want."

175* Lola from ''VideoGame/{{Bully}}'', practically seen with any guy that will give her what she wants despite the fact she is technically Johnny's girlfriend.
176* Tommy Vercetti in ''VideoGame/GrandTheftAutoViceCity'' gets involved with Mercedes Cortez, but doesn't mind at all her getting around. When he's producing a porn film, he gets her to be in it, and when a rock band asks for Tommy to provide some female entertainment for them, he goes to pick up Mercedes. She doesn't even need to be convinced to do any of this beyond simply asking.
177* 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.

181* GenderInverted with Kathy's attraction 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.

185* ''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.

189* ''Webcomic/BooItsSex'': Tara is proud of her strident sexuality and wants to get the girls "mad laid." She is supportive of their sex lives and praises them for making choices that are true to themselves, whether that means having many partners or none. Similarly, Denise freely admits to hooking up with multiple partners.
190* 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]]
191* ''Webcomic/{{Housepets}}'':
192** Sasha Hartford is a good example. She is very laissez-faire with regards to the relationships she's been involved in, frequently looking to snuggle with other dogs while carrying on a relationship with a boyfriend. A good early example is her openly showing then-boyfriend Bino [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2008/09/08/shes-not-the-best-one-to-ask/ an invitation to have his older brother Fido's puppies]]. Even with her later boyfriend, police dog, Kevin, [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/2016/01/01/lady-in-mondegreen/ he never seemed to mind her being admired by other dogs.]] But it seems she simply sees a difference between casual and romantic relationships. She is of the belief she can have one-off liaisons with other dogs, and separately have a romantic relationship with one dog. Bino didn't like that, but Kevin doesn't mind. In fact, he didn't even mind Sasha chasing Fox's tail [[http://www.housepetscomic.com/comic/2018/12/19/trapped-in-the-shower/ until Fox revealed he had a crush on her.]] That's when both Kevin and Sasha put their footpaws down.
193** To a lesser and genderswapped extent, Tarot. Her boyfriend, Peanut, has long had a crush on Grape that's gone mostly unreciprocated since they're both in relationships. While Grape's boyfriend was unaware of this, Tarot is very plainly aware, and is more than willing to allow Peanut to get 'mushy' with Grape so long as she gets to hear the details.
194* 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.
195* The reason why all the boys woo Jodie from ''Webcomic/{{Loserz}}''
196* Murugu of ''Webcomic/TwistedKaijuTheater'', and Shin-Goji knows it. In fact, when he finds his illegal Mexican bootleg ''kaiju'' figure poolboys gangbanging her, his main concern is ''that the pool doesn't exist in his backyard yet''. Shin-Goji's only problem with his girlfriend is that [[spoiler:Murugu is a registered Republican.]]

200* Brazilian website wwwchargesdotcomdotbr has "Só Levando", featuring the Bezerra couple. Their marriage is open. As Mr. Bezerra once put it, his wife can have relationships with other men and the only reason he can't have anything with other women is the fact ''they'' don't want it.

202
203[[folder:Western Animation]]
204* In ''WesternAnimation/AmericanDad,'' this is part of Avery's [[HasAType type]]:
205-->'''Bullock:''' She's loose, [[RaceFetish she's Asian]], and [[ChubbyChaser she's fat]]. I hit the trifecta!
206* 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.
207* ''WesternAnimation/FamilyGuy'':
208** 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''.
209* Kenny from ''WesternAnimation/SouthPark'' is quite overjoyed to learn his girlfriend is a "slut" in the episode "The Ring". It 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, [[SexSignalsDeath but he died of syphilis after.]] Knowing the character, still WorthIt.
210* 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.
211* ''WesternAnimation/TheVentureBrothers'':
212** 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 Doctor Venture.
213** This aspect of the Monarch and Dr. Girlfriend's relationship was also brought up previously in "Are You There God? It's Me, Dean." The Monarch keeps Brock and Hank as collateral, but Dr. Girlfriend assumes that they're in the cocoon for very different reasons:
214--->'''Dr. Girlfriend:''' I guess the muscular one is alright, but the boy is going too far. Can't we just use the puppets again?
215** WordOfGod states that the Monarch insisted on theirs being an open marriage, and is much less successful in exploiting it than his wife.
216** 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.
