I think it's the same kind of thing where it's okay to have *** if you
fall head over heels in love, but it's awful and you're a **** if
you're on the pill/have condoms/etc., because then you *planned* to
have ***! (Though I guess the "cheating is okay, but poly isn't" is
less gender specific. I don't think guys are ever thought of as
nasty/****ty for having condoms available.)
