Nikki Glaser doesn't mind if her partner gets physical with someone else.
"In a relationship, I don't really care if my boyfriend were to hook up," Glaser said Wednesday on the *Call Her Daddy* podcast. "But that is not a two-way street. I'm not someone who likes to hook up when I'm in a relationship. I don't really care about that. But I don't care if someone else were to. In fact, I kind of like it. It's a problem."

Glaser has dated Chris Convy since 2013.
"I know how lame it comes across," Glaser said. "I sometimes don't like to tell guys about this thing that I have where I'm like, you know, this is separate than the soulmate thing. I don't care if a guy has a sexual connection with a girl and he were to use protection and just have sex with her for a night. I literally wouldn't care if my husband did that. I don't know why."
But there's a line Glaser said she would expect him to not cross.
"If he were to watch* The Wire* with her or do crossword puzzles or text, send memes and stuff, I would be like, ‘What the f— are you doing?' That's our thing," Glaser said. "Emotional cheating would hurt me, but physical, I just feel like I understand how sex is for men most of the time outside of a relationship. It's just kind of transactional."

Nikki Glaser reveals the Golden Globes jokes that didn't make it to air

And she acknowledged that "jealousy" had come up when she didn't explain to Convy that she wanted the women to know about her.
Glaser, 41 said she adopted her philosophy when she was 29. Back then, she enjoyed a previous boyfriend's stories about his past girlfriends as a kind of "foreplay." When he ran out of them, she sent him out for more.

Host Alex Cooper reminded Glaser that she'd once told Howard Stern that commitment felt like admitting defeat or settling. She asked, does she still feel that way?
"No, I don't feel that way anymore. I mean, innately, it is settling. You do not know that the person you are with is the best person for you," Glaser said. "There's too many people on this planet. You haven't met any of them. You never will. So, you have to settle. There could be someone better for you. And, statistically, there probably is. The odds that you met the person out of 8 billion people on the planet that's best for you are kind of low.
And that goes for Convy, Glaser said.
