An Open Marriage

You can love someone, and have sex with someone else.
Although the following is not something that I personally believe ..... I've heard the following stated:

Sometimes monogamy has nothing to do with feelings that two people have for eachother. Some people can go about thier lives and have sex with numerous different people but at the end of the day they come home to the one they love and are devoted to. It's called "emotional monogamy" and "physical nonmonogamy"

If I my husband decided he wanted to work this way, we would have a serious issue on our hands!!! :evil:

I understand what you're trying to say, but the definition of monogamy doesn't pertain to sex, it is just the act of having a single spouse, as opposed to polygamy :yay:

So according to your hair brained theory, if I decided to have sex with a chicken on the side. I would still be considered to be Monogamous with my wife.

Pretty sure the definition of monogamy has changed over time :lol:
but it SHOULD just pertain to marriage, as far as I'm concerned :shrug:
mo⋅nog⋅a⋅my   /məˈnɒgəmi/ Show Spelled Pronunciation [muh-nog-uh-mee] Show IPA Pronunciation

–noun 1. marriage with only one person at a time. Compare bigamy, polygamy.
2. Zoology. the practice of having only one mate.
3. the practice of marrying only once during life.
Compare the first definition, which is what I classify monogamy, to the second, which is what some people are referring to.
Which is actually the definition as it pertains to the animal kingdom (see why it says Zoology?), and only applies to humans if you take the marital definition out of the equation and put all animals (humans included) in the same classification...and if there was no marriage, how many people would remain faithful to just one mate? :shrug:
The definition is all loopy because of marriage...and if it weren't for marriage, I would say that the second definition would apply.

Anyone still with me here?
:lol:

I guess the problem I see is my emotions are involved when I have sex therefore I cannot seperate the two things.

Thankfully, not everyone is proned to being a slut and you have the free will to either participate or not.

The great thing about morals is that they are man-made and not based on black and white.
Everyone has a different standard of what is and isn't acceptable.
I choose not to judge people based on certain choices they make...within reason.

Were you quoting me? I am confused if you were are you calling me a slut because I said I cant seperate the two and therefore cant have an open marriage?


I was quoting you.....it just didn't work.

You said you can't seperate the two and that's a good thing.........to me, sex is supposed to mean something.
