[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Monogamy sucks. As someone who really is not that interested in sex much with my husband, I'm certainly still interested in sex. I'd love some variety.

However, that is not acceptable in our culture-so I don't go there. I understand how important sex is to my husband so I try to make sure it happens at least twice a week. I would expect that if I were not having sex with him that he would go find someone to have sex with. Who possibly expects otherwise?  People do not get married and be expected to live a celibate life! That is crazy.[/quote]

Monogamy is kind of like democracy inasmuch as it sucks, but less than the alternatives. Overall, I think the benefits of a stable marriage generally outweigh the benefits of a sex life with multiple partners. And, I think, for most couples, non-monogamy destabilizes the marriage.

And, I wouldn't be surprised if your husband had similar thoughts -- that sex with new women might be more exciting. But, it's like Mel Brooks said, "Sex is like pizza - even when it's bad, it's still pretty good." So for most people, I think (monogamous sex + stable marriage) > (polygamous sex + destabilized marriage). However, at some point,  lack of sex or crappy, starfish sex can become such a problem that it outweighs the benefits of marriage. [/quote]
