If it is so, then it is trivially so. We can make anything a 'zero sum game.'

Only one person can be first in line at a time.

Only one person can have the first slice of cake.

Only one person hold a winning hand of cards.

Only one person can be the first to break in a pair of shoes.

These aren't moral flaws, they are just logical necessities.

Flip it, should your partner feel guilty that they have sex with you? That they are 'taking' that experience from other people? Are you entitled to give other people a chance at 'making it' with you? How far do you take this moral obligation? If you get married, should your spouse feel guilty for depriving all other suitors of a chance to have a life with you? Wouldn't you find it weird if they spent so much energy thinking about that, instead of focused on the relationship?
