    There is absolutely a difference between having an open relationship where both parties consent, and having a relationship where one person just sleeps around, but it’s totally fine because the other was informed it was happening.

    Your partner may not be your property, but that doesn’t mean that sleeping around just because you told them it was happening is ok.

      If you dont consent to your poly partner fucking someone else, you’re saying “your body, my choice”

      Thats so fucked, and I can’t believe you’re defending it

        You have no conception of how contracts work do you?

        Contracts involve things people aren’t entitled to all the time. Nobody is entitled to have someone else meet them for lunch at 1 pm either. You can’t dictate someone else’s movements that way.

        Oh wait! Unless they agreed to meet you there at 1pm.

        Fascinating, the way promises can turn a lack of entitlement into legitimate entitlement.

          This article is literally about changing that contract because its based on an antiquated concept of some old book that claimed it was the word of some mythical creature in the sky

          We’re updating the contract for a reason.

        If a poly person is with a monogamous person and wants to sleep with a new partner, end the relationship with the monogamous person. The monogamous person can stay out of the relationship if they know the other person is poly, too.

          Sure. I’m talking about a poly person in marriage with a poly person. They shouldn’t be able to be criminalized for fucking someone else if they told their partner about it first.
