All Comments on 'Things We Don't Talk About'

An interesting exploration of the topic. Somewhat clinical, treating sex from the Recreational viewpoint and ignoring (I felt) the Relational and Procreational sides of sex between a man and woman.

My issue isn’t with extramarital relationships, but with secret ones. If you want to have sex with people outside of your relationship, your spouse doesn’t have the right to command you not to just because they prefer being monogamous themselves. They DO have the right to decide that they don’t want to be in a relationship with you anymore, and leave you if you do. Maybe that view is illogical in your mind, but they have the right to have it regardless. By deceiving someone into staying in a relationship they wouldn’t want to be in with full information, you remove their chance to have a completely honest, trusting connection with someone, and are basically leading them on.

This comment isn’t so much directed at the author’s personal relatonship, which is clearly very honest, but just at some of the examples used in the piece.

certainly! I agree with everything said.
