Anyone watching this show? If so, what do you think?
The show is very trashy, pretty much soft-porn. However, it does raise an interesting point. Can poly amorous relationships work? Given the divorce rate, is monogamy really superior?

(29,047 posts)I guess, I don't really know the label for our marriage. I usually call it "pagan," even though we are both atheists.

It's a work in progress according to the author (who isn't me), I will admit that it generally categorizes me one dimension off in one direction or another from where I know I am. In any case, I think the questions and results are insightful.

Why not "Mormon" instead? (See how silly that is?)
