Are you saying nobody ever cheats on their partners and then lies about it?

Besides, Johnny isn't saying it's a good thing to cheat on your partner. Only a person with a very strange disposition would want to do that. The real argument is that monogamy is a social construct and therefore may not be of value for some people, but we use it as if was some kind of moral law, and make non-monogamous women feel bad about themselves. This can cause people to have less sex than they really want to, and feel guilty when they do which is a shame because in the age of the rubber johhny there may be no rational reason not to have have polyamorous relationships. Again though, nobody condones betraying another person's trust if you ARE in a monogamous relationship.
