Thank you for your article, but I think it's important that we not confuse polygamy and open relationships. There are MANY different styles of open relationships, polygamy being the most heard about because it is the most sensationalized by the media. Polygamy is based on religious beliefs. Open Marriage, is, by and large, chosen by partners for other reasons, be it mis-matched libidos, the notion that monogamy goes against human nature, exploration, and a myriad of other reasons.
Healthy Open Marriages DO exist. I have one and I write about it daily in my blog, (google Sexie Sadie blog)
Also, I write a mainstream column for a news source on Open Relationships.
