This is roughly what I believe he did and what Butcher's account seems to confirm.

It's my impression that as women became a commodity, he lost some respect for them. I think he could offend them and they would still have sex with him. I believe he thought that giving up your pride, your sex, your whatever, to a rock star or even just the band bassist-was kind of debasing yourself.

I'm fairly certain he did not allow Gail to engage in the sort of promiscuity that he himself enjoyed.
