I'd think that logically I'd be more motivated to actually pursue a sweetie who's just been with a new OSO, for competitive reasons... but instead, I find myself less interested, at least physically and emotionally, for some period of time afterward. Almost as though they're rendered ritually impure or unclean by the new contact, and I have to wait for some time before they're approachable... or subconsciously waiting to see if my beloved breaks out in a rash (or is pregnant) before I approach them again.
I must say that my initial reaction to that characterization was not pleasant.
