Ask Dan & Jennifer

I do agree with this article. As a matter of fact, there are stories of people who were virgins when they married and when they had intercourse tragedy struck. Not only was the experience not pleasant because of the realistic result that they did not expect, but they felt wierd in the sense that they felt like siblings that were doing something they weren't suppose to. [mind you such a feeling is rare] However, other feelings can arise such as not having sexual chemistry. That can put amazing stress on the relationship.

Interesting,
Definitely two separate belief systems....are only compatible on a case by case basis among the parties involved. I know this personally
Whereas, my spouse might consider themself a swinger, I cannot say that I do or do not....I am more poly oriented. How does this work?
Although I am comfortable with the basic fundamentals of swinging, I may or may not choose to keep it casual and although I prefer the thought of exeriencing the love I share with my spouse with a possible "other"...its not required for my happiness..I am content at the level we are currently happy in and it is more of an "observation" of my feelings and thoughts that I see poly as a path.
In the end it is a matter of discussion and casual conversation...for me its a continuation of learning about ourselves together...One way of looking at it is like a train.

There is a train that makes it tracks from the beautiful valley below up the mountain face until it reaches the top....There are many lovely sights along the way one may choose to stop at and take in the air, some perhaps one would choose even to stay , get comfortable and make a home..
My spouse has a certain place on that mountain they enjoy, and she has picked a lovely spot...I also have my special spot I prefer....But For to stay together we have to choose one so for us its just a simple understanding and appreciation for each others stop and decide which of the two we choose to make our home.....In the end, the same truth comes from it...they are both great spots

V/R ..Love

Great article. Do you not find it interesting that people sworn to celibacy are trying to dictate sexual mores for the rest of us? Of course, they threaten us with eternal damnation if we don't see things their way. I think the history of the established church, especially the recent scandals, shows what happens when we try to deny our basic needs and desires.
