So, is it really all that bad to have sexual relations with many different partners? Some say it decimates the meaning of the actual act, but I have a feeling it's fun either way. What do you think?

Are we talking at once, or in a row?

I'm talking about having sex with many partners, whether you are in a relationship or not. Just having sex for fun pretty much, with no other meaning behind it.

Sex is fun. And what "meaning" there is to something that's basically a biological requirement, I donno.

This thread is going to go no where.
Okay do-over this thread is now about the push for 3 party marriages.
So what are YOUR thoughts?

And from what I remember, I think I'd support Diz's views.
The bottom line is that it would depend on everyone involved. If someone is emotionally invested in a relationship, and expects it to be committed and monogamous, it's not cool to violate that trust. Other, more open relationships wouldn't be any less suitable.

My personal sentiment is against sex for the sake of sex.... I do think it should be something only with special people.
My personal sentiment re: polygamy is that I do think relationships are best when its just two people, and don't think complicating that is a good idea.
However, I don't think anyone else should abide by what I consider 'right' because its a personal choice.

I agree with Lowbacca, though I wouldn't use that syrupy term 'special' .
Having multiple partners is going to give you trouble!
Double agendas, disappointed people, jealous people. You'll end up giving others so much attention, you won't have enough attention for yourself.
Also, I think the need to be with multiple partners is not a particularly classy one - it has a lot to do with wanting to be wanted.

I think diz pretty much disproves all of those things. One person is obviously not decisive evidence, but it does mean something.

What consenting adults do in the privacy of their own homes shouldn't be anyone's concerns but their own. That said, these adults do need to weigh the risks associated with their behavior and need to seriously think about the message they are sending to their children.
Personally, I've walked away from a girlfriend who wanted to bring someone else to bed because I don't believe in that kind of stuff. I wouldn't want to share her and I was hurt she would want to share me.

I equate sex with love and have no interest in animal rutting. Nailing some hot chick I'm not in love with just isn't my scene.

This'll be fun once diz shows up.  Before he arrives and begins to accuse other posters of being immoral for saying something is immoral (still not sure about that one), I'll state my own viewpoint. I don't much like the idea of sex for sex's sake, or sex with multiple partners. It seems gratuitous.
