I was not quite sure what forum to place this topic on consensual non monagamy in. It certainly fits the topic of "sexuality" but that is a sub forum of Civil Rights. Never the less, that is where I chose to create it- under sexuality. I will add that while non monogamy is, generally speaking, not a civil rights issue, it could at some point emerge as one . How?? There is a small miniority of those engaged in consetual non-monogamy why want legal recognition for marrige to more than one person- group marriage. If that developed into a movement, it could become an issue like same sex marriage. We are not talking about polygamy here. We are talking about polyamory, a term that many may not be familiar with. There are important differences.

There is another way that it might emerge as a civil rights issue. "Adultury" The act of a married person having sex with another outside of the marrige is still a crime in quite a few states, although not enforced. However, if the religious right should tighten their grip further, those laws might be enforced, and new one might be passed, resulting in court battles like those about sodomy.
Anyway, I'm interested in seeing what kind of interest and reaction I get to this topic. Please read the whole article and comment thoughtfully and honestly. Feel free to share your experiences, if any, with any form of non monagamy while in a commited relationship.
