I don't agree necessarily. To me; the iPartners situation was simply Miranda needing sex. No emotional entanglement, no added 'complications' just a fun no strings attached sort of thing. The difference between that and her relationship with Jacob (and later Shephard) was just that; a relationship.
At least, that's how I read it.
Agreed, it suggests that Miranda approaches even casual sex with a level of professionalism and preparation that most people never bother with. She likes to know what she is getting into; and more importantly, that she won't be taking anything away.
Sex and relationships are not the same thing - one is an act of pleasure seeking and release, the other an emotional commitment. There is no reason she - or anyone for that matter - should approach the two in the same way.
Interesting thoughts. It's an interpretation that I could potentially get on board with. That said, I'm not sure that the info in the game really supports that point of view, at least not directly.
It's worth pointing out, while we're on the subject, that the SB data has little to do with Miranda's level of sexual experience or virginal purity, as the case may be. I certainly would assume that she and Jacob had sex and that a ridiculously hot 35 year-old woman would have had other experiences, as many as she felt like having, etc. It's the approach in the SB files that's odd, especially since it's followed up by the dossier on her infertility, which really doesn't make much sense if it's just a matter of finding anonymous partners for entertaining sex.
