Well Radical I would have to say the odds of your ever having an open marriage are probably zero if your wife thinks it is silly
What is Polyamory?Polyamory (or poly for short) is the practice of having multiple, honest, loving relationships at the same time. Unlike affairs, poly relationships are intended to be honest and consensual. The range of polyamorous relationships is large and ranges from somewhat casual to extremely committed (including group marriage) situations.
Unlike the image of free love in the 1960s, the polyamory community understands that creating multiple strong relationships is a difficult task and requires some thought and care. And unlike the image of swinging, polyamory tends to focus on relationships and love, instead of focusing primarily on additional sexual outlets.
Which is not to say that sex isn't an important benefit of some, perhaps many, polyamorous relationships. Duh!
Unfortunately, we live in a world where traditional monogamy is often more sometimes more of a facade than a reality. Polyamory provides a way for people to honor their desire to be initimate with many people, while letting them preserve their values, their self-respect, their sense of committment, and their long-term relationships.
Haven't tried doing any research on it in the library myself..hhhmm you could probaby ask the librarian to help you...
