Polygamy is a different things entirely because it entails additional commitments, not just a commitment but allowing sex with other people. While there is no reason people shouldn't be allowed to engage in polygamy, it has a lot more issues and is more complicated than what I'm bringing up here which is merely the issue of requiring sexual exclusivity within a committed relationship.

Its really simple - if you don't want to be exclusive then don't and stick with partners who believe the same. I only mentioned polygamy because its applies to me. Yes I realize polygamy is more complicated. The fact is people believe different things. I don't know why you can't understand monogamy the same as I understand non-exclusivity. Are you fine if one of your partners likes sex with one man more than you and spends more time with him? Are you prepared to support any kids that come out if these relationships?
