MillionDollar Belt Sander:
Yes. Yes I am.
I should say we are.
Wife-unit and I are bisexual, into the "swinging" scene and group sex. We both have a couple of partners we hook up with on a regular basis.
The "love/marriage" comes from a meeting of minds and meshing of personalities. We also realize that posing restrictions on each other (monogamy) would in fact destroy what is an essential part of ourselves.
It's hard to explain... but it works for us. And that is all that matters!!
Near Lurker:
Yes. I don't think I'm cut out for a real relationship... but most of the time, casual sex isn't worth the hassle or the risk, so I don't do it very often. What was it Warhol said? "I prefer a nice cup of tea"? Basically that.

There are a surprising number of people who rethink these cultural restrictions and experiment to see what works better.
I've been fascinated by this messy topic for decades, and now anthropologists are finding more evidence (and rethinking things that Darwin and others misinterpreted) showing that the human animal is NOT naturally monogamous. (That's correct, females too.)
See the book, "Sex at Dawn" and others. I've always wondered about that whole "til death do us part" dogma and why it's so difficult and does seem to destroy essential parts of our selves.
Not to mention another person essentially owning your sexuality: "if you cheat even once, I'll take you for everything you've got, and make you pay for the rest of your life. We may be incompatible, or I may cut you off, but you're stuck, buster."
Only 10,000 years ago, just before agriculture transformed everything, we all lived in small hunter-gatherer groups, and pretty much SHARED EVERYTHING... Cooperation within the tribe was vital, no one knew or cared whose children were whose (and we were all closely related anyway.) [Plus, there was no war, famine, poverty, or tyranny, but let's stick to one topic.]
Honestly, I don't think society would collapse if we loosened up this one artificial restriction... It might take some adjustments, but I don't believe it should Destroy Marriages and Lives if someone succumbs to another's charms.
Have you heard that "Culture is your operating system; but it's not your friend." ?
(I hope The Moral Guardians ignore me.)
