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 ?

    This is something I am so conflicted on. I like being with just one person. Although sometimes the thought of someone else is exciting. I don't want to hurt the person I am with in those situations. I also don't want to feel betrayed or lied to. But there is a reason monogamy is so hard right?

    I like monogamy. I love stability and trust and companionship with one person, and not having to worry about STDs and such....

    I liked it a lot when I was married for 9 years to a nice guy who had very little sex drive or passion.

    I love it more now that I'm engaged to the love of my life who is amazing in bed :-)

    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.

    Definitely not hard if you're with the right person!

    I say good, because it reduces the risks of STD/I's... and I find it incredibly easy... but I am super loyal.

    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 love you Emma. Also, ditto-ish.

    I'd agree with this.

    Being in a relationship that isn't monogamous doesn't necessarily make you poly. You could simply be in the lifestyle. I for one could never be in a polyamorous relationship.

    I think a lot of times its just not ideal or practical. We're biologically programmed to find other people attractive, and that isn't necessarily going to change just because we fall in love with someone.

    I have always been monogamous, even when the woman was a total starfish
