Should I Let My Partner Cheat?

Dear Sexperts,

My girlfriend wants to have sex with another guy. Just sex. Just once. She wants to know what it's like to cheat. What do I do?

Answer:

It is not uncommon for partners to experience curiosity and to have desires outside of their relationship. However, every relationship is unique. Some prefer an "open" relationship while others find it hard to cope with their partner being intimate with others. Often, such situations create a distance between lovers and cause jealousy. You must account for your level of comfort when assessing this situation. Communicate and be open about your feelings. In the end, the decision lies with both you and your partner.
