Men Who Are Truly In Love Don’t Fantasize About Other Women
It would not be honest to say that being in a relationship suddenly makes everyone around you unattractive. We may acknowledge the good looks and good qualities in others, but being in love makes this just an acknowledgement rather than a fantasy.
Society has argued for romantic and sexual fantasies to be normalized, especially with the rise of open relationships and the acceptance of porn. But even the strongest proponents would argue that the purpose of these is to avoid cheating and any feeling of betrayal. Consequently, it’s more of a negotiation in which we make cheating more acceptable because knowing technically makes it not a betrayal. As in, if it is not behind our backs, then it’s not so bad. Similarly, if the other woman is not physically present in the room, but only through a screen, then what’s the harm?
