Valmiki Ramayana doesn't have Agni Pareeksha. After finding her back, Ram discards her and asks her to gp wherever she wants as he can't accept a woman like her.
Sita is sad at it and decides to suicide by Atmadah in Agni, but then she was so pure that Agni couldn't burn her and then Agni Dev come to Ram ji and testified for her.
And nowhere was a man considered impure that time, VR is clear that Ramji often spent time and enjoyed with Dasis(and we all know what would have happened in that time) even when Sita ji was with him.
It was only when he was in forest that he didn't have access
P.S. Seeta Agni Pareeksha is in Yudhh Kand not in Uttara Kand so this part isn't even interpolation. The Ramopakhyana in Mahabharata is all more demeaning
Bold; idk why but this made me laugh
