Drooling= ogling =more than a momentary glance
Typically in my experience, passersby don't stick around too long.

Anyway, what is the consequence?

In a commited relationship, one has chosen *a* partner.
You do have the freedom to choose a multi-partner lovestyle and not have to be upset or feel awkward about attractive passersby.

Quote:
If one wants to not feel *pressured to awkardly ignore attractive passerby,* one should not be in a commited relationship. It's pretty simple.
Why is this?

Quote:
I assume you meant that relationships & love *are* in a separate league than attractive passerby, but you seem to be saying that someone in a *love relationship* should be able to include attractive passerby
No, I'm saying one needn't feel threatened or hurt by an SO looking at attractive strangers because the relationship is most likely founded on sturdier ground than appearances.

I'm guessing the root is insecurity, but if it isn't please explain.

How is this any different than "ogling" attractive people on television and in movies?

Quote:
Agreed. Insecurity can mess up relationships. And women are attracted to men that aren't their partners, too. I think we are just more subtle about it sometimes
Why should person 1 be punished or seen as disrespecting for not catering to the insecurity of person 2? Why not just work through the insecurity?
