I don't like how she talks about it. There is no such thing as "negotiated infidelity." Once it's been negotiated, it is, by definition, not infidelity. Infidelity involves secrecy

Oh good lawd. That woman is a moron! "Men are hard-wired to betray women on the long-term." ...really? Sorry, but I think if more women left their men alone to masterbate, or to do any damn thing, they wouldn't cheat. I think half of cheating is just the feeling that you are getting away with something. This is coming from a happily monogamous woman, and pretty sure my husband is there too.. we trust each other. Yes, we have urges and interests... but what is the point of cheating? If you are going to cheat, just find someone new for petes sake. Her little idea that her man is not "spooning" these other woman he is forking is absurd. Sorry little girl, but I guarantee that spooning was involved. Maybe not every time, but there it is, just another rule for him to say: fuck you, you aren't my mother. Bottom line is: if you get into a marriage, you have been asked to be monogamous on both ends. If you decided to screw other ppl, it has nothing to do with your mans libido. You just don't get on the same as you used to, and that could

Yeah, I think that people should be able to have the kinds of relationships they want, provided it's consensual all around, and frankly it's nobody else's business. I get really sick of people (and specifically, politicians and people in power) trying to define what the "right" kind of relationship is... usually heterosexual monogamy. That's unfair to the general population. If having an open marriage (I skimmed the article, but I assume that's what was being described there) works for that couple, who the hell cares?
I think the concept scares a lot of people because society drills it into us that anything other than monogamy is WRONG. And for the record, almost nobody practices true monogamy. It's called "serial monogamy", in which people have one partner at a time, but will change partners any number of times throughout their lifetime. So, eh. That is my opinion.
