If you're not religious why do you care if your partner has sex with other people?

I understand many on here are deeply religious and want to obey their religions teachings on faithfulness in marriage. But a great many here are atheists like me or if religious don't go to church or take it serious.
So if you remove the religious aspect what are your objections to your partner having occasional sexual fun with other people?
If they practice safe sex are they really doing any harm and they could learn things that would improve your own sex life?

  • It has nothing to do with religion. No guy worth his salt wants to share his beloved. I guarantee it.

  • Honestly as long as both partners are in agreement to be polygamous then who cares? If you have a significant other that is your main and that you'll have emotional feelings for on top of physical intimacy but are of the understanding that you wish to be sexual with other attractive people then who cares? News flash to most people. Your partner isn't the only attractive person in the world.

  • 1. I don't want an STD
    2. I don't want to take care of someone else's kid.

  • I am not religious, however I do have faith in something, and my "doctrine" teaches the importance of family and having good ancestral roots. I personally do not care if my chick wants more than just me, as long as there is honest communication between the two of us regularly.

  • Because I'm a possessive asshole. How's that?

  • Easy: diseases, pregnancy. The usual suspects, lol. I'd rather she dump me than cheat on me. Mmm hmm.

  • WALRUS DOESN'T SHARE BOOB!!!

  • It has very little to do with religion, nor morality.
    There are a number of sound reasons for not accepting such behaviour:
    1.) From an evolutionary perspective, no man can be happy with a partner that brings the paternity of her offspring into question.
    2.) The probability of her acquiring and sharing unpleasant diseases is unacceptable.
    3.) Continuing to play the field increases the chances that she will find a more satisfactory partner, reducing the guys inclination to invest heavily in the relationship.
    4.). Most women acquire an emotional connexion with a sexual partner. Caring about someone else implies caring less about the original guy.

    You may argue that these are irrelevant in a modern context of prophylaxis and antibiotics. Unfortunately, our emotional responses are the result of aeons of evolution, and do not easily adjust to such things.

    • Excellent answer

  • Loyalty... duh

  • I wouldn't mind at all

  • Because we are not animals?

  • It's about more than religion, Poppy.

  • May be because you definition of Religion is totally wrong 😂. Trying to argue about morality and actions with a wrong definition will lead you to an impass. The common sense of religion with no western or oriental bias is : The way of doing or the path of actions. It's the best common translation in many language of the word : Religion. By this point you can now argue that if you don't want this or that or that in your private sex life or with your partners it's about you religion.

  • You know adultery was considered a crime in the Ancient Aztec Empire.

  • I'm not religious and think it's hot if my partner has sex with other people,,,

  • Because they are mine... your question answers itself as you asked "my partner"

    She is mine, not as an object, but as a person, she is mine, I love her, we fell in love, she loves me, I only fuck her, I expect the same
