Not just "one big orgy": Fighting the stigma of consensual non-monogamy
CBS News ^ | October 24, 2019 | Jessica Kegu, and Jason Silverstein

"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.

Exactly. Godless nations fall.

This is all to protect Katie Hill. Laugh at these clowns accordingly.

May not be one big orgy but it is sin. That’s the important point.

Why is that a subject for discussion with the boss? Why?

Don’t you love how they throw the “consensual” sugar on the “non-monogamy,” just to make it seem not so bad?

Run the numbers yourself. Over 90% of faggots in this country probably have an active Grindr account. And that’s not even counting the other faggot hookup apps. Nearly all “married” and “committed.”

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

Bingo.

Although there are those women who desire the attention of multiple men, too. But that’s not as common.

There was a show on TV....
Showtime I think

Polyamory and Dating on Showtime

https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2227610/

The women are decent looking 25 to 45

They the women....are all bisexual

Most is women wanting women and one woman who loves two men too

One guy is a horn dog with two women...he’s got money

It’s kind of silly to be honest

These are Gen X hippies where the women are more empowered than the original hippie generation were

One woman doesn’t like the lifestyle and leaves

She’s the most sympathetic on the show

She just wants to be loved conventionally

Yep, you can “love” children. And are they going to make the argument that children can’t love back?

This dyke bytch essentially wants to abolish statehood in deference to an overarching rule of a leftist federal government.

I don’t believe that parents will farm out their own children durning the millennial reign of Christ, they’ll instruct them themselves.
