 Right on! I would never ask an S.O. not to date others.  If heesh chose not
to, I would take it as a very strong complement--but I would NOT ask it of
heesh.  (By the way, 'herm' has the problem of confusion with word fragments
derived from "Hermes", which usually denote maleness.  Ie, 'hermaphrodite'
combines it with Aphrodite to indicate a mixture of male and female.)
