Oh come on Susan. There is a serious dissonance here that you haven’t addressed. If having sex without monogamy is a recipe for heartbreak — something you regularly attest to ((and something I agree with and something your blog influenced me to beleive)). Then why would you encourage a guy for facilitating this? It makes no sense.

I did address your concern in several comments above, but I’ll try again.

There is no way I can ever prevent all women from being promiscuous. This woman appears to have her eyes wide open, Riv hasn’t lied to her in any way. Do I think there’s the potential for her to get hurt? Yes. Perhaps then she will learn a lesson – when you put your hands into the fire you get burned.

Or perhaps she is one of the rare women (probably high testosterone) who can have sex without becoming attached. She describes herself as an asshole magnet, and she’s had this experience several times before.

In any case, that is her responsibility, not Riv’s. He is engaging in consensual sex with a woman who is very eager. It is simply not fair to men to expect them to turn away from no-strings sex when it’s being offered up on a platter in return for NOTHING. It’s the proverbial free lunch.
