What does open sexuality do to society? Is there any way to look at what happens? How does such impact families and what happens to the children in those families?
What it does is not the question in this context, but what it *did*.
Women used to get pregnant. Many died in childbirth. People caught illnesses. Without a group supporting them, the first weeks and months of the life of the child could be deadly. Poverty was likely with the wrong or an absent husband.
We can do something about the first nowadays: it is no issue anymore if you’re well-informed. The second is no issue anymore. The third is answered by Condoms. The fourth is fixed in the EU (mandatory time off the job after childbirth). The fifth — that’s still an issue. But can be avoided by not getting pregnant.
In short: most of the reasons that made sex dangerous are gone thanks to technology, education, and a social safety net.
Children in "rainbow families" lead a life that’s proven to be just as good as those in monogamous families, *if* there is no grudge between ex-partners. The latter is a matter of social norms and expectations.
