Mythical Monogamy vs Real Monogamy
Jenny Block supports monogamy and openness, but not dishonesty.

For some, yes. Quite well by the looks of things. But for others, no. Not at all. With divorce rates remaining in the 50% range, I can't help but wonder why we cling to this model that everyone likes to talk about but far fewer people follow. If your child came home with 50% on every test, wouldn't you talk to the teacher about other methods of study? Perhaps it is time for other methods of marriage

I don't have any problem with the practice of monogamy. It's the people who are all talk and no action (or in this case, I suppose, too much action) that make it difficult for me to believe that it is as universal as many would like to believe.
