Soul breaking is something of an understatement. It's something that must be experienced to be fully understood. The woman in your example could easily have gone even further: joining the couple in the room, inviting even more women over... Until one experiences this, it all seems surreal and completely outside the realm of reality.

Can you explain the soul breaking part ?

Sure. It is extremely disillusioning when you discover that common social and moral concepts like monogamy literally do not apply to certain people because of their financial, social or sexual capital or any combination thereof. You realize that given enough leverage you can ask for the moon with complete impunity and not only get it but have other people compete with each other to see who gets to provide it to you. It feels comical and surreal, like everything is some kind of joke.
It reminds me of the gervais principle.

Yea, most people simply haven't seen that. I knew a minor rock band player in college, he had women lining up outside his hotel room to fuck him.
One day a girl shows up at our door looking for him. We regretfully inform her that he is actually with another woman in his room right now. Her response:
"Oh, that's ok, I'll wait out in my car".
It's a completely different life.
If it's any consolation though, he ended marrying a pretty terrible woman.
