[quote=Anonymous]I've done some research on how pre-roman societies viewed relationships and marriage. What I learned from ancient Egypt and certain Indigenous tribes were that the societal expectation was a long term pair bond or marriage, but it was acceptable on certain religious holidays or feast days to have no strings attached sex with others. Outside of the celebration days, outside sex was considered cheating and socially unacceptable. Having emotional interactions with another outside of marriage was also forbidden. It seemed like the healthiest way to do nonmonogamy to me. There's only one romantic connection being nurtured, both people are hooking up at the same time on the same date so nobody feels left out and alone, and you get to satisfy any desire to try out something new with clear boundaries put in place with the hookup partners. Maybe marriage with infrequent swinging is the way to go. Who knows? [/quote]
