It's quite amazing that even in today's "open and accepting world", how things like poly, swinging and other multi-person relationships are looked at. Quiet sad, actually.
I remember making the mistake of even bringing this topic up with my wife, uffda! I won't ever try that again.
I think a lot more relationships (like, say, mine:) would be happier if everyone involved was open to the fact that monogomy might not be the only way to live life.
Me and my wife are very compatible on a lot of levels, but on the levels we are not (like , sex drive, sex interest, anything sex for the most part:) she'd be ok with me going elsewhere. After all, she goes to church and her friends for her 'spiritual needs' because I certainly don't fill those needs for her. But sex I guess is such a special thing in this society (after all, noone better show a nipple on network telivision ,that'd ruin our kids forever) that it can only be shared between 2 people.
Part of our problem is that we grew up differently after we got married. She grew closer to her church, wanting to be your perfect suburban mom - I never grew out of wanting to explor deeper and more into my sexuality. So when we were just married, we both were happy spending our days fucking, then as years passed, and kids happened, I still wanted to spend our days fucking (or at least nights, and experiment more) and she wanted other things.
We haven't hit the double digits in years married yet, but we are getting there, and its not getting any easier with the years, thats for sure.
you're right...people do look down on the poly lifestyle. I've read about about and done some research on it, and think that the people involved are pretty lucky!

I guess being married for 16 years, it's hard to think of finding someone else to satify either my husband or myself....
