Monogamy vs Open Relationships?

Now just try to think external of yourself for a moment. As in nature, all animals and mammals that couple or mate for life, when they do, their bond or commitment to each other includes that commitment of intimacy only to each other. It's only the pack animals that travel with a group of females that are impregnated to increase the pack.

With that said....why do you think that two males find it difficult to maintain a commitment that includes intimacy? Also, could it be that one male will have the 'choice' to have sex with other people, because his partner 'allows' it to happen? This tends to be the most difficult aspect of a 'union' for gay/homosexual/intersex males in particular.

What tends to happen is that the more dominate of the two will seek out sex with others before the more submissive male does. This is because no intersex males are both mentally male and female, and he must find his own dominate male to meet the sexual needs of his female aspect.

The result is that the submissive must either buy into the concept of an 'open' relationship, or risk loosing his 'mate', and with the reality of ever mating again, he either puts up with it or tries to justify it, knowing that either he is being cheated on, or he is being asked to cheat also.

Unfortunately, this inability for monogamy for many gay/intersex males is the strongest barrier that the rest of our society has against 'same sex marriage'.

The media plays up the religious angle, but the reality is that by 'condoning' marriage without the possibility of monogamy, it puts marriage itself at risk in the eyes of those who's marriage has a foundation is based on love, commitment and monogamy. And that's too bad, since so many same sex people deserve to be happy no matter who they love.

Just think about it...even if you tell a person you stole their car, you are still a thief. Even if you agree to cheat, it's still cheating. No matter how it's packaged. Any thoughts?
