Most interestingly, the elements of jealousy and hurt over random sexual encounters my male partners had with others weren't so pronounced. Kind of harkens back to the idea of a woman being the property of a man, I imagine. Why I'd feel less possessive when my lover was a male is still a mystery to me. Beyond accepting the adage "boys will be boys," I, really, can't explain it to myself.
