There is middle ground here. The hypothetical SO is taking a risk and being straight forward, you should at least appreciate that. Assuming good intentions, be glad that your SO wants to do something special for you. r/deadbedrooms has a lot of unhappy people.
When we first started talking about playing with other people and swinging, it was very easy to *talk* about but less easy for me to put into practice. A lot of that was from my social anxiety (I would be too nervous to meet people) and there was definitely a component of jealousy I had to overcome.
It took about six months for me to work up the courage to go to a party where we watched others play, then it progressed to playing in front of others at a future party, then playing with others and so on.
Took me probably a year or more to work up the courage to go on dates, but from there it was smooth sailing. I invited another dude to our airbnb for my birthday and it was a hell of a lot of fun.
She had an easier time with it because she's an extrovert.
100% communication is key here. I wouldn't be able to trust her again if she did something behind my back with no communication.If it was something we discussed and were 100% in agreement with it, I could see myself being open to it.
If I got home from work and she was with someone and it wasn't discussed, that's a deal breaker.

Genders is irrelevant, I have no fantasy watching my so with another person.

No, I don't want to watch you have sex with other guys.
You do you but the door is over there.
