Right now, in the scenario described, Scott is the big loser. Terisa the big winner. Larry owns the house and married Scott’s girl, “with his permission,” but Scott pays the rent. I’ll bet for ol’ go-along Scott there’s not nearly enough tingle and way too much tangle. Especially with a kid to complicate things.

Terisa you’re a slut plain and simple and so is your so-called boytoy and husband. You’re ALL sluts.

Researchers are just beginning to study the phenomenon, but the few who do estimate that openly polyamorous families in the United States number more than half a million, with thriving contingents in nearly every major city.

500,000 families? Minimum three people per family = 1.5 million?

Sounds like the same fraudulent numbers strategy the homo crowd are using by over stating their numbers (10%)for legitimacy

Exactly what I thought. How’d they get that number?

I’ll do my own head count............I estimate 9,832 such relationships. It was a scientific process, don’t you worry...

IF anyone still wonders why America is in a race to the bottom, all they need to do is read articles like this. We have rebelled against God as a nation, and have all but shoved Him out of America! It is obvious that He has withdrawn his hand of Blessings and protection from us!

Obama is the most glaring example of what happens when a country trades the only true God, for a man who they look to for saving them! God has given America what they voted for. A godless communist who is destroying us as a nation, and a people.

Terisa and Matt and Vera and Larry

"Bob and Carol and Ted and Alice." Just as long as we're open and honest about it. Or see Oneill and Oneill, Open Marriage by a couple who touted it and ended up in a predictably bitter divirce shortly after.

But hey, when your goal is to disintegrate the structure of marriage, any old clusterf*ck will do.

Don't forget to include all various species of animals who could be part of a "ethical nonmonogamy" grouping.

Dog, cat, parrot, dolphin and gerbils for the homosexuals etc

I guess it could be millions of families if you include of those

I don’t see anything unethical about polyamory. But the chances of such a relationship being able to be maintained long-term are slim to none. Stupid doesn’t necessarily mean unethical.

Agree. Both counts.

Here´s the bottom line on the latest form of leftist insanity:

Polys themselves are not visibly crusading for their civil rights. But there is one policy issue rousing concern: legal precedents concerning their ability to parent. . . .

The child, meanwhile, has his own room. And he's clearly the most delicate part of the equation. Matt and Vera have asked NEWSWEEK not to use their last names—or the name of their child—for fear, even in liberal Seattle, they might draw unwanted attention. Though Terisa doesn't have children—and doesn't want them—she adores Matt and Vera's son, who calls her Auntie. Recently, the child asked his father who he loved more: Mommy or Terisa. "I said, 'Of course I love momma more,' because that's the answer he needed to hear," Matt says. He and Vera say they are honest with him, in an age-appropriate way. "We don't do anything any regular parents of a 6-year-old wouldn't do," he says. For the moment, it seems to be working. The child is happy, and there are two extra people to help him with his homework, or to pick him up or drop him off at school. They expect the questions to increase with age, but in the long run, "what's healthy for children is stability," says Fischer, the anthropologist.

The "new paradigm" these people are pushing is one in which the so-called "stability" of their weirdo sexual hook-ups is supposed to substitute for (what used to be, anyway) normal family life. If the "delicate part of the equation" here has lifelong psychological traumas over this upbringing, society will just have to pay the tab--as it has been doing for so many other forms of sexual experimentation undertaken by aged adolescents since the '60s.

Sounds a bit like squirrels to me. Cute, but prolific and annoying.

Group sex and beet carpaccio.

Beet carpaccio? I thought carpaccio was beef or tuna.

At any rate: meat. Not veggies.

People in Seattle sound very odd.

There are quite a few sick people on the internet. Finding them is easy.
