Not just "one big orgy": Fighting the stigma of consensual non-monogamy

"One big orgy." That's the stereotype about the lifestyle of consensual non-monogamy — an arrangement where committed partners openly agree to have sexual relationships with other people.

But people who have practiced non-monogamy for years say it's not all wild sex — or even all that wild. It takes a lot of work, and it carries a lot of stigma. There can be serious consequences for the family life and even careers of those involved.

"Many people are trying to create families in different kinds of ways. And a lot of people see that as dangerous," Diana Adams, a Brooklyn-based lawyer who represents polyamorous families, says in the CBSN Originals documentary, "Non-monogamy."

She advises clients in non-monogamous relationships to be careful about telling their employers. She's seen some lose their jobs over it.

Higamus hogamus, woman’s monogamous.”

In situations like that it's easier to believe that it's all genuinely "consensual" for the guys than it is for the women.I was always brought up to believe that females are instinctively more moral than males. Even if that was true at one time one must ask if it's true today.

So a Democrat congresscritter gets caught in a “polyamorous” relationship, and like clockwork the MSM tries to turn her and others like her into victims.

Hopefully no film at 11.

Polygamy is coming. I see no legal basis for blocking it. The courts have decided you can marry anyone you love. So you and your wife can marry the mail man is you decide you love the mail man.

Incest, bestiality and child sex are in the queue.

OMG, can’t believe this is all being mainstreamed at such a rapid pace.

[EEGator]

I know quite a few girls that are worse than most guys.

[montag813]

Wow. We’ve really sunk so low that 1960s hippie commune morality is now fit for “CBS NEWS”

Std.

It is a public health issue. (In addition to being a religious issue). Indiscriminately swapping body fluids is not healthy.

At one time that was true, but one of the rotten fruits of feminism has been to narrow the gap. Last reliable info which I read on the topic said that 80% of women and 70% of men were faithfully monogamous to their partner. That's among heterosexuals. The respective numbers for homosexuals are about 8% for Lesbians and 3% for Sodomites.

Despite all the propaganda from the Left, they aren't as normal as we are. Thus the big propaganda push to make us as promiscuous as they are.

Swinging or polyamorous affairs is not anything new. I’m 61 and have seen it all my life.
It’s getting more normalization because of the degradation of societal norms but it’s not new

It’s another of those sexual adventure paradigms where conventional wisdom is it’s bad old patriarch horndog men forcing innocent wives and girlfriends into ménage a trios with nubile nymphets so they can get some

Reality is swinging is overwhelmingly driven by women wishing to dive in the Sappho pond and willing husbands of course go along

My wife and I have been invited to enough and trust me it was ALWAYS about the women want to devour her cute self

I was just a tag along

We were not into that whatsoever and she finds cunnilingus women to women disgusting

Because IT IS DANGEROUS, butthead! Don't believe me? Just take a look at the children raised in such settings in 15-20 years.

This is part of the moral rot and decay destroying Western Civilization.

Civilizations fall because of internal moral rot and decay.

Future generations will recoil in disgust at the excesses, instability, and moral rot and decay of Western Civilization in its decadent phase. They will easily perceive it for what it is, though those afflicted by the decadence today cannot.

“Though it is easy for us to perceive the wild instability of the Roman Imperium in its final days, it was not easy for the Romans.”

Years ago I worked with a Pakistani guy. He was Muslim.
He told us that yes, his religion did allow him to have up to four wives.

Then he’d roll his eyes and say “But.....a fellow would have to be insane to actually try that!”
