I find this quite fascinating. I don't know what it is, nature or social conditioning, that makes (most of?) us so possessive of our partners. The reason my partner and I are monogamous is because neither of us likes the idea of sharing the other.

There do seem to be a lot more open relationships among gay people but I'm not really sure how people make that work. I kind of look at sex as an important glue in a relationship. Opening it up would (maybe, I have no personal experience in this) dilute the tension and glue that helps smooth out some of the usual problems when two people spend a lot of time together. In my inexperienced mind at least. If you have sex with other people, aren't you just going into the territory of friendship with benefits? Or does the love and appreciation of the other person simply go (sufficiently) beyond the physical to fix any potential hang-ups (jealousy, feeling of inadequacy etc)?
