Looking over the responses here, I'm surprised that people's opinions seem to have little to do with heterosexuality/homosexuality/bisexuality (no one has said, I would not allow it because it would freak me out to see my boyfriend getting sexual with another man, and it might change the way I think about him).
Instead, it comes down to views on sexual experimentation in relationships. For some people, like yeah69, sexuality is a powerful and uncontrollable force that, if unleashed, could cause all kinds of unknown but dire consequences for the relationship. Others, like Diamond and Petite, see it as simply another option in life -- something to consider, discuss and, if both agree it sounds fun, pursue. They seem to view their relationships as stronger than the mysterious force of unrestrained sexuality.
I'm temtped to say the latter group have more solid relationships, but perhaps they're just different, and it has to do with how individuals were rasied and their attitudes about sex.
As the gay friend in the scenario, I know that when I talked with my friend about blowing her boyfriend, we both considered it just something fun to think about, and she joked with her boyfriend about it in the same way. If any one of us found the mere suggestion offensive, the other two would have dropped the subject immediately and forever.
I am glad it never happened for one reason ... although I'm sure it wouldn't have hurt their relationship, if the boyfriend came to see me as primarily "that guy who can't get enough of his cock," it might make simple things like all of us meeting for a cup of coffee, or going bowling, or whatever -- kind of awkward. My relationship with my female friend would have been fine, but it might have made doing things as a group more difficult, and I would have regretted that.
