So you are thinking about it.

Dogs don't get to choose. When the female is in heat, she'll take any dog that walks by. And the males don't get to walk away - they are biologically programmed to take her.

You get to choose. You get to choose every day. Doesn't that mean anything to you?

And? Why is choosing one any more noble than choosing not to limit yourself to one?

Are you a dog, or a man?

You didn't answer my question, I see no reason to answer yours.

Okay, clearly I wasn't specific enough. Do you behave like a dog, or like a human being?

That's another question. Clearly you don't understand the concept of Question>Answer.

Clearly you don't understand the concept that actions speak louder than words.

Swinging isn't about love.

Right, it has nothing to do with love. However, I think it's possible to love more than one person at a time and have multiple relationships at a time. Or, if you prefer, love only one person at a time. The choice should be yours, and no choice should be perceived as being more correct than the other.

I'd tend to agree with that. The only requirement being full disclosure in an already healthy relationship. Having other relationships behind your spouses back doesn't count. But if two people in a loving relationship decide that it's OK, who am I to judge?

Thinking about what? Quit putting your own disdain of what is being discussed and make statements into something they are not...not everyone agrees with your view...in all realms of life, yes we get to choose...God's most wonderful and plaguing gift to all of us...being self-righteous and supercilious does not add anything qualitatively.

enjoy your moral high ground...and next time you wish to make some kind of comparison..keep it apples to apples...

To go through life and not be attracted to someone else, even while you're married, is physiologically and biologically impossible. We weren't genetically engineered to have sex with the same one person for our entire lives.

That's not to say couples shouldn't exist. They do exist and I'm sure some of them are very happy with that arrangement. However, the concept and laws surrounding marriage should eventually be abolished. I think most people would be happier if they could "swing" the rest of their lives ...

being attracted to someone isn't the same as being in love with someone.

Oh, it's strictly apples to apples. You have two heads, and the ability to decide which one rules. If you don't respect that gift, and use it wisely, that's certainly your choice. I don't have to respect it, or treat it like it's the choice between beef or chicken.

Absolutely - it needs to be understood and agreed upon by both sides to work 🙂

Truly, I have not loved nor been infatuated with someone as much as i love him, before or currently.

I am sure it could happen as many people do not get married because they found the person they want to spend the rest of their lives with but for other reasons.

You just haven't been married long enough to get bitter, jaded, and tired of your spouse taking you for granted. That takes a minimum of 10 years.

Multiply that X 3 and even prison life sounds like a cake walk!
