It is true that we have had similar discussions here before, and they have often been extremely uncomfortable, with posters appearing to equate monogamy with "good" routes and willingness to try more open relationships with "evil". It should be clear that this is likely to be upsetting and offensive to some forum members.

Can I remind everyone that this space is for everyone regardless of gender, gender identity/expression, sexuality, religion, race, ethnicity, or nationality. Offensive content or harassment on this basis, either personal or generalised, will not be tolerated?

If we do feel we need to discuss this topic again, please be respectful of your fellow forum members and very, very careful that what you say does not have negative implications about real life sexual preferences of others.
