    For me, personally, easy----but only because I found the right partner. If it's not the right partner, it's not gonna work.

    That's just me, and I'd only be with someone who felt the same way. But if any other people are into swinging or whatever, y'all have fun! Whatever works for you!

    not a huge fan, cause I like freedom and choices, but I love my man, and no one compares to him anyway...so before we became exclusive I would just be disappointed and miss him anyway. So, while he isn't around as much as I want and need, I don't want anyone else anyway. I just accept that and its fine.

    I find it easy. I think it would be hard to have more than one partner. I like to give my whole self and put everything I've got into a relationship and wear my heart on my sleeve. My SO doesn't have to be the same in putting their emotions out there 100 percent of the time, but I do expect 100 percent commitment. Three and a half years says it's working fine for me so far! :)

    Some people say it's hard, but I think that's a good quality.

    It's a learned moral value, but I don't think we're wired this way no?

    A choice. Not for everyone, but for some. Something that's often reinforced by religion. There's no right way to do it.

    I would prefer a monogamish marriage. Someone who was my main partner and shared an emotional bond with me. But we would also enjoy different partners together and individually. Lots of communication and complete honesty and respect.

    But I also have a lot of respect for poly couples. The ones I have known are so close and have really bettered themselves by being able to understand their insecurities through dealing with jealousy. Mad props.


    She took what I was thinking and said it a thousand times better than I could so I am just gonna sit in my corner and nod in agreement with all of this.

    good grief, I would not even kiss someone else besides my spouse, let alone engage in any other type of sexual contact. NOT SAFE.

    Like others have said it is totally easy with the right partner. I always hated the thought of being with one person for the rest of my life. With all my previous relationships I felt something was missing and got bored often. Now 3+ years later with the love of my life I couldn't imagine being with anyone else but him.

    I believe in just one God. I know there are a lot of vikings and druids. So if you are pologamy that is fine, but I think most of the people are mostly just christian. I'm not sure I could deal with having a bible for every god, it must be exhausting.

    I don't think you understand the word 'monogamy'

    Good? Bad? Acceptable only because it's required to keep your loved one? Easy since you are with your partner? Old fashioned and horse puckey notion, don't you know we are animals?

    What say you ?

    I hail from a natural heritage which was borne out of polyandry, which later gradually developed to being solely polygynous, where people still move about their ways today, consciously aware of their traditional roles as the official traditional lovers of any one whose now married, but is neglected, of select Houses. With but a word or a look ~ they'd still comply, as the fillers ~ their maintenance, which I personally feel is awful, for those who still observe it, granted its practiced with much discretion for people do attend Church every Sunday, all too conscious of propriety, whilst being bound by the rigidities of religiosity, affecting their bedrooms, be they monogamous or not.

    Monogamy vs Polyamoury from my vantage point, depends I think on the depths and ranges (boundaries) of the primary relationship. Their sexual nurturance. Their sexual conditioning. Their sexual introduction(s) and experience(s). Their sexual limits. Is sex love? Or is sex pleasure? Inhibitions ~ Boundaries. Sexual personalities. We're all different in that depending on who you're with at anyone time, what is alright if it were with A wouldn't necessarily apply and work if you were to live within certain restrictions with B, who'll both be entirely different to how C would go about what both A and B would never consider with you.

    How does one define and determine Love & Lust.

    It works for me, life is full of drama already without polygamous relationships.

    But, I won't judge others in non-monogamous relationships, as long as there's no deception or betrayal involved. If everything is transparent then it's fair to everyone.

    Mahogany?

    This was really popular in the 1970's, and currently making a comeback through composite decking and fiberglass entry doors. Hickory, oak, or maple are more readily available choices.





    And what Emma said. Although i'm done with the concept of marriage.

    I believe in Monogamy if you commit to it in a relationship. I wouldn't say it is easy because natural urges are ALWAYS present, but that is part of the commitment.

    It isn't a right or wrong discussion, it is just personal choice.

    If that's your only reason to stay with one person your relationship must suck.

    Of course, not the only reason. But it's a fantastic place to start. This is a big topic!
