Greetings,
As to wives versus slaves being "adulterous," an actual slave cannot BE adulterous, she cannot commit adultery, she is simply a slave. A wife however is held within a concept of a legally contracted marraige to ONE Man within which she is held to a standard legally, and what rules her is her marriage and being the "wife", therefore, if she does react naturally to a Man as her slave nature may compel her too, she however can committ adultery simply because she is a wife. A slave cannot simply because she is held is slavery, she is not contracted to a Man. If she strays so to speak without the permission of her Master and gives into her slave reactions to a Man, she is simply a disobedient slave, not an adulterous woman. She is nothing but a slave, who based usually on how she is held in Gorean slavery understands her place among Men, and that may actually be where she finds herself being disobedient and reacting to a Man very naturally who is not her Master -- opps. But again in the end all she is is a disobedient slave if for some reason she was not supposed to pleasure a random Man and she is not held to the same "standards" a wife is by a husband. This is part of why a slave cannot also be a wife, but instead becomes a Free Companion upon a marraige to a Man, in my opinion.
So by the nature of what a slave is to a Gorean Man, she cannot be adulterous, therefore, a wife would be more apt to commit adultery than a slave. If you really look at those who are indignant with someone saying a woman who is a wife is more likely to committ adultery than a slave, you are looking at each concept the wrong way, a slave is simply a slave -- a wife is to hold herself to a certain standard which is why some of you feel indignation because YOU are more likely to committ adultery for the simple fact a slave cannot. Also, if you are a slave and feel indignant with regards to such an idea of wife being more adulterous, its a very good reason why a wife and slave cannot coexist at the same time with one woman.
