She makes the argument that the partner who's relegated to celibacy might be able to cheat, ethically, as the least-bad choice in the situation. I'd be interested in knowing what you think of her arguments. There are three posts:<br /><br /><A HREF="http://gretachristina.typepad.com/greta_christinas_weblog/2008/10/is-cheating-ever-okay.html" REL="nofollow">Part One</A><A HREF="http://gretachristina.typepad.com/greta_christinas_weblog/2008/10/is-cheating-ever-okay-part-2.html" REL="nofollow">Part Two</A><A HREF="http://gretachristina.typepad.com/greta_christinas_weblog/2008/10/is-cheating-ever-okay-part-3.html" REL="nofollow">Part Three</A>Her comment threads got taken over by rather doctrinaire polyamorists. I'm not convinced that polyamory is all that often a viable option. I think most partners who refuse sex would see it as a mortal threat to their relationship - and why should they agree to an open relationship if they don't want sex themselves?<br /><br />Anyway, I'm curious what you think.Sungoldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02153155221248240952noreply@blogger.com
