We've all seen the changed relationship status on Facebook which usually is much more than a joke, but what about real...true to life open relationships?
For some, a wedding ring actually is a commitment to be honest, to love and to cherish through sickness and in health, and even after a few sexpeditions with neighbors and friends. Many feel that monogamy is the only way to live, and the only reasonable way to have a relationship...these few people however, the proponents of sexual forgiveness in a relationship would beg to differ.
Understandably so in my humble opinion, because as it appears, the only thing that keeps us from "cheating" in most cases is the effect it may have on our significant other. The significant other in most cases has had similar thoughts which leads me to believe that the truth behind monogamy is that it is entirely society created (my best guess is to protect lineage as it was such an esteemed thing to protect in earlier ages of civilization)in an effort to separate humans from the rest of the mammals.
Oh we're fancy huh? CHOOSING monogamy as a societal norm?
From some of our earliest ancestors, humans have displayed a need for sex for pleasure. How could we forget this?
What are the benefits of a relationship with one person that are unable to be achieved through an open and more "flexible" relationship as some of our more advanced thinking fellow humans? Are they simply crazy for thinking that they should live happily with one person and taking part in extracurricular activities with another? Wrong for having their cake and eating it too? Or are we, the "normal" people doing it all wrong?
