Does anyone else want to take a different tack here? Perhaps we need to start considering if we're entering a somewhat polyamorous age. Perhaps monogamy makes less sense today. This is a dangerous subject... it certainly isn't something I can talk to my partner about openly. But that's why I bring it up: perhaps as a society we need to start admitting that we have changed our level of expectations on what is okay for activity partners and perhaps even sex partners, with members of the opposite sex. Perhaps we can have our cake and eat it too. We should acknowledge that long-term relationships built on friendships may not always provide all the perks we expect in this internet age. Perhaps we need not lose these wonderful relationships in the wake... rather have both. I'm not offering a clear path for how it would work or how to get there. But I'm challenging the baseline assumption here that, somehow, a more liquid market for cross-sexual meeting is a bad thing. It's the reality of today, so perhaps we need to update our lifestyles.
