I'd say that the key would be to separate sex from love.
So he likes being belittled? I don't know if I'd call it homosexual, just very sexual awkward and whacked. The fact he let's his girlfriend sleep with another guy only makes it more wrong.
The human brain is a mystery. If he's not well equipped; then maybe it's a turn on for him. Him being humiliated is a sexual (Yet wrong) attraction for him.
It's like people get sexually aroused by fire or self-harm. It's whacked, but they're out there.
Not as good as Deanscat.
:-$
Not everyone knows about my perverse escapades.......
I used to have a similarly romantic ideal of sex. I don't know what (or who) broke me in that respect. I still see its romantic and intimate importance, but I'm also completely fine with a one night stand as long as both parties are consenting and adequately protected.
How far I've fallen :-(
Personally I think your view is the simplistic one, but to each their own.
If all natural sex has an emotional component than how do you explain the eternal presence of prostitution in most societies?
Personally I think the brain chemistry of sex is extremely base and simplistic. Putting this shroud of mysticism around a pretty ridiculous physical act and couching it in poetic terms about beauty and love is what leads to all that baggage and those hangups that hamper open communication and sexuality.
I didn't call anyone a caveman, and I'm not looking for an argument man. I said it's a caveman way of thinking in that it's a result of our primitive biological urge to compete for mates. I'm of the opinion that we should probably be looking to move past those things, or at least to understand their influence. I'm genuinely sorry if that offended you, I was just throwing stuff out there.
You should check out the book "Sex at Dawn" by Dr Chris Ryan if you're interested in human sexuality. It sorta has a viewpoint in the middle of what we're talking about here and it's incredibly fascinating.

I don't think that sex never has an emotional aspect .I think that sex can be part of expression of an emotional connection. I just think sometimes sex sits as a physically fulfilling experience without an emotional connection.
It always involves intimacy ,but it's not always emotional.
For mine there is only a problem when there is no honest communication between participants.
See I can see the guy watching his girl get all physically ecstatic in a way he isn't capable of achieving physically for her is not all that different from the guy who is a shit cook taking his girl out for a gourmet meal.
Yet who would worry about their girl leaving them for the chef,or think of it as cheating.
Sex isn't all that a trusting relationship is built on.Those who feel the pain are usually those who haven't been honest with their partner..or indeed themselves.
Not for everyone.
Wow...thought I woke up in the wrong forum!
Good point BDR.Sex is sex.The mystical ,mating for life with "the one " ,,where a man must be everything his woman needs,is probably a religious one .In my opinion and experience it is what is responsible for the hangups that make lots of people very sad with their sex lives just as much,if not more as the porn culture.
Even the use of euphemisms for the act( sleeping with..(.who the hell is sleeping in a broom cupboard at work!or makes love using a condom) indicates ourr discomfort with it.
fetishes are really the opposite of hangups.They are simply the things that do it for us.If you try to analyse it( damn that spellcheck when I'm trying to make a joke) or standardise it you lose it.
Sex is sex.Its great when you feel great before during and after.
Relationships are much more complex thing.
that is the word of the old woman.
Yeah I can't see my missus going for that when I tell her I occasionally would like my knob sucked by somebody else honest communication or not

It's not religious. The fact that a majority of people feel so much jealousy or pain through cheating or promiscuity tells us there's something biological and human about love and the mating for life thing. It's not simply religious or indoctrinated. If sex was just purely physical then every sexual act would have no emotional connections. Sex and love are very much connected and complex emotionally.
Some people completely separate love and sex and there's nothing wrong with that. But the fact is the pain someone feels when they find out the person they love has been with another does not come from purely religious reasons. I would say love and having one mate for life influenced the religious standing on it rather than the other way round. If people at that time wanted polygamy and only polygamy then there's no way they would implement monogamy into their lifestyle.
I mostly agree with Eelementary's view. But when not connected to any one person I'm fine with one night stands as long as it is just sex and no emotions are carried out of it or anyone is taken advantage of.
I'm not denying that some people have sex with anyone because they need it/feel like it.
My point was more to do with your partner having sex with someone else - many people are comfortable with that, and that's their business. I, for one, am not, and I am saying it has little to do with the sex itself of preconceived notions of old-school thinking, but with emotion. She's my girlfriend because we are emotionally bonded together - otherwise she'd just be a f**k buddy. And as my girlfriend, and with all the emotional energies invested in the relationship, I would be very uncomfortable with her having sex with another person due to the emotions involved.
But conversely to your points, using euphemisms does not indicate we are uncomfortable; rather, it shows manners. It's true that decades ago it was rude to even refer to sex, and we are much more open about it these days - but there is a certain level of abruptness when calling it "having sex" or "f**king", and especially so when it involves someone you have feelings for.
The notion that "sex is sex" can be just as destructive, and has been so - it empowers people with the belief that they can sleep around because, "Hey - it's no big deal! It's just sex!"
Now, I am not saying I am 100% right, because this is all subjective - but the probable reality must lie somewhere in between your point of view and mine.
