I know how the guy feels since I'm in a similar situation.
On one hand I want to be with one person in a committed relationship, but on the other hand I want to see more about the world and explore my sexual preferences to the fullest with different partners.
If you look at Maslow's hierarchy of needs then I think that the "urge" that you are referring to is simply that his social needs were repressed for so long that he simply can't resist fulfilling them now.
If the connection between you is strong then I would let him have his way for now and come back to you when he's satiated (which would happen eventually, at least if I judge from my own experiences).
EDIT: To add, if you decide to forbid him from doing it, then again judging by my own self, it would probably put a serious strain on what you have already and I don't think your bond would survive that, no matter how strong.
