To reply to this comment, and also
mos555's question about
what Kirito's role is in the plot (sorry I can't find your original post), I can share a theory developed by Chinese fans. Not mine, but I think maybe it makes some sense.
Let me try to present it as clear as possible:
1. Initially Fujino only planned to design Kirito as just a blind observer who has no idea what happens to the girls around him (pretty much the SAO 1 story, SAO 2 early plots, and he always did this in his previous games).
2. Remember people say Asuna is hypocritical when she enjoys her relationship with Inoda but still says she loves Kirito. Maybe Fujino is bothered by this, because he immerses himself as Inoda.
3. So he chose to do two things:
One, change Asuna's memories so that Asuna now loves Inoda.
And two, make Kirito cheat behind Asuna' back (not sure if you agree, but Kirito having sex with other girls seems to be out of expectation)
4. Then we arrive at this point:
Asuna is no longer hypocritical because she only has sex with her true love, just one person, the person she truly loves (and she doesn't love Kirito that much, at least not her true love).
Instead, Kirito now becomes hypocritical because he cheats while he still loves Asuna the most. Him having sex (or about to) with more girls will make him even more hypocritical.
So now, Asuna is justified. Who can blame her if she only has sex with her true love/boyfriend/husband?
As for Kirito, he is hypocritical, because he messes with, and want to have sex with four girls.
I hope I have shown the logic in a clear way. This is just a theory and maybe it can explain some patterns especially in recent updates. But of course, you decide what you believe.
