What do you think of consentual non-monogomy?

I believe it to be a train wreck looking for a sharp curve.

I think i would stay single, however, not because of the polygomy.  I have no problem with multiple wives or husbands for that matter.  If everyone in the union is treated equally and have the same imput and respect for the others.  It can be an eriching experience for all involved including the children who have mulptiple parents to love, care for them, and ipart their knowledge and experiences.  My problem would be being the second or third wife, I am to opionated and out spoken.  I would stay in trouble for adding my two cents worth at the wrong time.

Universal Unitarians are openly accepting of all alternative lifestyles.  There are many polyamorous and polyandrous family units in the UU religion.\n\nIt's not taught as being right or wrong but it is accepted and does exist in a religious environment.

Not feeling a little bitter are you Asker?\n\nOr are you feeling convicted?\n\nIf it is not such a big deal to you, then why do you place so much emphasis on the opinion of those who believe in this "sky-pixie"?\n\nI'm willing to accept that homosexuality is normal.  In that case though, who are we to say that pedophelia is not ok?  Who is to say that an adult male and a minor male child can not have a consentual meaningful sexual relationship?\n\nWhy should we say incest is bad?  Who cares if there are genetic anomalies that occur, heck with abortion legalized we can always avoid having to see those? The important thing is that we support two people who love and are committed to one another, right?\n\nBeastiality should be taught in our public schools as normative too.  Heck, with all that we spend on our pets, it is obvious that we love them.  And I'm sure when Fluffy puts its head on your lap, it must be looking for some sex.  Since we only have to accept that "NO" means "NO" then we don't have to worry about animals resisting sex since they can't speak human languages (except for some birds I guess).\n\nAnd you know, that person who desires to get naked and have an orgasm while rolling all over the hood of their car is ok too.  And why should I say they can't do that only in the privacy of their home.  It must be love, how many people can say they spent $20,000 on their significant other in a year.\n\nThink about it.

Well, I am a 33yo divorced mother of 2 boys.  I DO NOT want a committed relationship.  Maintaining my independence and identity is important to me.  Non-committal sex is the "easiest" way for me.  It really does sound  morally questionable, however, I have needs as well.  \nI met a man shortly after I split from my hubby.   The sex was PHENOMONAL. We were actually a couple for 6 months. This is terrible to say, but the sex is the only reason I stayed with him.  We weren't compatible as a couple. But I thought about the sex all the time. I have NEVER felt a sexual connection with anyone before like this.  After we broke up I proposed this idea to him about FWB.  He was a little surprised.  Maybe felt more USED than anything.  He said OK. We'll see. Haven't had sex  yet since before the break-up.  If a female can prevent from getting emotionally attached, more power to ya. I think it is a great idea.

personally i don't think it's either. what is promiscuous anyway? sleeping with ten people? two guys a week? whatever. religion decided what promiscuouty was (more than one lover for women). it's a survival instinct in all living creatures. only humans have an issue with counting sexual partners. Go out there and sow your wild oats, that's why you have wild oats.

If it's between 2 CONSENTING adults, and both sides are cool.... It's your body, your moral issue- do what you think is right.\nPeople have done worse things for less.....

A handfasting is a very beautiful ceramony. But it is not recognised by law. Do I care? No, as long as I'm not jailed for something "they" don't believe in. I think our country and it's laws should support any couple wanting to make a commitment! Regardless of any personal or religious viewpoints.

I think what two consenting adults do is no one else's business.  If they want to get married and be miserable just like straight people, more power to them!

This might give you more insight in a religious sense and matter.  http://www.religioustolerance.org/masturba.htm\n\nI think what your doing is alright as long as your not lusting at another person.

I think if you're living with someone, it's perfectly acceptable to be having sex.  After all, you're in a healthy, committed relationship that's one step away from engagement/marriage.  The only thing missing is a certificate.\n\nWith that said, no I don't feel I need to refrain and... 67 days.

Ugh. I hate the terms "moral" and "immoral" because of their current connotation. I really prefer "right" and "wrong," so I'm going to use those instead. I also don't really believe in marriage, but that's another story.\n\nAdultery is wrong because it, presumably, shows a lack of empathy towards one's significant other. If a couple are "swingers," and want to engage in mutual adultery with no hard feelings, I have no problem with that. For regular folks, though, I see it as breaking a promise and disregarding the feelings of someone you, presumably, care about. So, I feel that it is wrong.

Actually I don't think it is shallow at all.  What is wrong with dealing with reality?  If you know what you want, and that is to be married and have children, why waste your time with someone that you are not going to have that with?\nI think you were protecting yourself from making a selfish mistake in the future: risking having children doomed to have problem.\nI think you did the right thing, and shouldn't be ashamed of it.

"t seems to me that people who don't believe in God, should have no problem with that kind of behavior."\n\nThis sounds like you're saying that if God didn't tell you "no, no, dear child, don't have sex with animals" that you'd think it was fine and dandy.\n\nThis is so patently stew-pid an argument, you must be a loyal watcher of Fox "News" channel.\n\n\nEDIT FOR ADDITION:  Awww, aren't you cute?  OK then.  Expanding the definition of marriage to include single-sex couples would both be a benefit to the individuals involved AND to society.  There is ample evidence that people who live in stable, committed couples are healthier, happier, and wealthier than those who are single. Gay marriage is a good idea because it will benefit not only the gay couple but their families, friends, neighbors, and taxpayers whose burdens to care for the gay partners singly would be greater.\n\nSex with animals would NOT benefit society. And I dare say it wouldn't benefit the animal part of that practice.\n\nBeastiality and gay marriage present very different issues. Each should be evaluated on its own, not treated as if one is a necessary extension of the other.\n\nAnd there's this wonderful thing called ethics, which is a way to determine if something is right or wrong *without divine authority*.  It works quite well.

I believe in sex before marriage. I don't believe people should just sleep around though. If you've been with a person for awhile and truly loves them, I think it's ok to have sex.

I think, that if you are a person who believes that nature does everything for a reason. And that honosexuals were created naturally (non-christian type point of view) and that the world needs to control the population, this solution may work for you.\n\nI find it simpler to just say it is what it is. But plenty of homosexuals do want to have children.

Smiles,,,\n\n   First of all I offer no real defense for my gender as it regards "WANT".\n\n   Monogamy is a practice I believe in, but admittedly haven't been totally faithful to. That isn't to say I haven't loved ONE or wanted to love only ONE.\n\n   I'll go one step further. My gender,,,in general,,, is only about as far out of the caves, as you can reach in stretching an arm. Again, that isn't strictly an attack of my gender, but it's a pretty accurate description of our maturity, evolution, sensitivity, and commitment abilities.\n\n   We,,, males,,, don't want any less than your gender does, truly. We just don't have the tools, often, that it takes to understand, accept, comply with, enjoy similarly, those emotions and designs, that your gender has.\n\n   Are we a "work in progress?" Certainly. Are we worth some effort? Of course. The choice to find, know, enjoy, and hopefully maintain a decent relationship is up to the two people who engage in it. It has rarely worked when the "balance" is so far one sided that the effort is less than the total, to bring it into balance. That applies to both genders.\n   I offer one more thing. An ancient Oriental quote, I hold very close to my belief system.\n\n   "When you stand before IT, there is no beginning, Once in IT, no end."   \n    "It" being appropriate to many things.\n\n    My personal quote, inspired by Aldara,,,smiles\n\n   "Love is, even when it seems it isn't"\n\nRev.
