Should married people be allowed to sleep with other people?

You are allowed to have more then one sexual partner while married. You simply cannot be officially married to two different people.

And that's what they have been talking about. Good job.

Okay how is being married to two different people relevant to this topic?

That's why I quit I stopped posting in this topic. He's a defensive nut.

If I shoot a gun in the sky, he will jump above me and asked why I shot at him. 🤣

Your confusing Polyamoury with Polygamy.

I most very certainly am not

polygamy is a misogynistic relic of pre-female liberation society, whereby men take on many wives, often without their consent, in order to spread their progeny.

polyamory is a consensual relationship between more than 2 people, where all members are aware and agree to the relationship.

ummmm, your question hinges on the fact that marriage is based on traditional sexual values. The idea that a marriage can have different values is actually supportive of what you are saying

its not a very good debating tactic to go after someone who is defending the same position you are taking.

ya, and myself and Adam_Poe were discussing definitions of marriage, one being polyamoury, which is currently illegal in all American states, to the best of my knowledge

You mean polygamy.

I think polyamory applies as well. Especially the way he qualified it. It's true that polyamory doesn't need to be in marriage, but it can be.

No. Whatever the "law" is with that is basically up for the states to decide on their own. I don't know a state that allows it, but whatever.

polygamy is also illegal, but refers specifically to the practice of men taking on multiple wives and also, somewhat inherently, supposes patriarchal organization.

iirc, polyandry is the practice of women taking on multiple husbands in similar arrangements, as is practiced in some areas of Tibet/Nepal, again, iirc.

I guess if you want to nit pick, they are not mutually exclusive with polyamory, however, I would stress the use of different terms simply to emphasize the lack of gender dominance and those related issues and also the consensual nature of the relationship.

Really? Then what am I quoting?

If you re-read closely, you will notice I used past tense to explain what I "stopped" been doing. (yes, there is a typo but whatever)

It's not that hard. I promise.

Married to more then one person is also illegal in Canada, Polyamory however is legal.

You attack people who agree with you. There isn't even a term for that.

... I was talking about being married to more than one person. Again, no one is talking directly about polyamory right now.

We are talking about laws and what they allow. Not the moral guidelines...

I did not attack him. I simply did not get why polygamy was relevant as I am not talking about being married to two different people.

This is an extension of my original problem, sex does not have to be about a relationship.

As hard as it is for you to get, people can be in a loving and committed marriage and still sleep with others occasionally.

I've never heard a definition of polyamory that requires people to be married and the government cannot legislate love. Polygamy usually refers to any form of group marriage when used in a non-technical sense.
