Moral question??

[mrveggieman]

Religion aside if a man and a woman are consentually in an open marriage and both parties are ok with it is it still moral?

Religion aside I don't see why not.

morals and like self identity are dependent upon the individual

if they both think so, then i would have to say yes.
but i would wonder why are they married and what about disease?

i would not have sex with a married woman (besides my wife) for any real reason, even if her and her husband were ok with it.

and i personally don't think i would be friends with such people, just because it is weird and i would wonder what else is going on, but perhaps that would be my loss and not theirs

I think you guys know how I'm going to rule on this....

Since I personally don't even believe in any kind of "True Love" if a couple is open to having other partners, I see nothing wrong.

Humans ARE animals, and we have irresistible urges which are perfectly natural.

Personally, I find the idea of Monogamy as unnecessary and outdated.

Although, I would only be OK with doing this type of stuff if both parties completely agree with it.

Unfortunately there is something else that humans are......SELFISH!

And since we are selfish, we don't wish to "share" our partners with anyone (unless you're a male and you want to share your female gf/wife with another female )

But seriously, I find the idea of sharing my gf with another male absolutely insane.

I don't know if I'd to so far as to not be friends with people in an open relationship. It would, however, be very clear that neither I nor my wife will be joining in.

depends how many months pregnant the wife is.

It spreads disease, cuts down on the population, so it is moral in Godless peoples eyes.

It doesn't necessarily spread disease. Open relationship does not mean promiscuity.

Any unsafe sexual behavior can spread disease. How can an open marriage cut down on the population? Feel free to chime in whenever you return.

I have friends that have done this and or currently do. It's pretty under the radar from a friends perspective. We know about it but they are normal couples when they hang out with their friends. Definitely depends on each couple though.
