It has nothing to do "expecting you to cheat", its more of "I understand that other ppl are attractive too, but we are in relationship, so please ask me about it next time". Yes it's shitty and I dont like it too, however they'll need to rework whole conversation if changes are to be made. I don't think Larian will do that. Thats why I talk about just adding disapproval, because it makes sense. P.S. I won't cheat on her anyway, so I'll stay as pure as swan.
Saying "If I wanted something pure, I'd have bedded a swan." is synonym for saying "I did not expect you to be pure."
That means that at the very least, it didn't surprise her. I think that's ridiculous. She wouldn't abandon Shar for you if she had that little faith in you.
It's unlikely that they'll change this, yes, even if the biggest skeleton in the closet during that dialogue is still the massive contradiction about how she was raised. But I think the vast majority of people don't even notice that because this entire dialogue is a F5 -> F8 situation and expecting perfection from the writing is a little extreme.

Halsin should be the only one that's able to do the drow twin orgy with you, if anything.
That kinky side is very likely gone by the time she realizes what she had actually been doing when you reach the House of Grief. Remember that all she had was good memories of the atrocities she inflicted upon others (including her parents) there due to Sharran Mind Wipe MagicTM making her forget the rest. The tied up stuff is just her lowkey flirting with you. She asked what you'd do if she started to turn, you can say you'd tie her up and look for a cure, she says she'd kill you on the spot if you started to turn and that you shouldn't dream of tying her up.
