You raise a good point. But at the same time, male/female biology is different. Most mammals are polygamous. Cheating on a guy is the worst thing you could do to him, whereas a woman would be more hurt if you punched her. In an ideal society, everyone would give their virginity to their spouse and be completely monogamous. Even if that's not our natural state as mammals, it creates the best all around experience for everyone. If one man were to marry 5 women, he might be able to satisfy them all, but then 4 guys would not be able to have kids. Whereas in a monogamous society, everyone is happy.I see lots of hypocrisy on here especially when it comes to cheating or body count. I see people who hate the dreaded three letter tag (I'm also one who can't stand it btw), but who love games where the MC cheats left and right. I personally don't like a cheating MC, I much prefer romance/harem games that involve no cheating at all from either side. Then when it comes to body count, I see people complaining when the LI's aren't virgins, or at the very least they don't want them to have a history of casual sex. Meanwhile the MC in the game they're playing is a slut who is fucking dozens of women.
But I can also see why people's fantasies contain asynchronous gender standards. In most of these harem games, the women are portrayed as being happy, and it's instinctively believable to us that the protagonist is adored by all the women he dates. Whereas we know that a woman can only have one guy's kid, the MC can get everyone pregnant. We instinctively know that he's not cucking the extra women he dates. And you're not really cucking guys who were never dating those women in the first place. So most people do not feel a moral dilemma.
