What the Smiths do or don't do is up to them. If Will has a wife who is not averse to him playing around (with presumed reciprocity) then good on him. It's none of our business. The continual pressure of the (probably imaginary) moral majority for people to be socio-sexually conformist is just sad.

Thanks for the heads-up, gigi.

I agree about the none of our beeswax thing. I really put it up there about the polyamorus bit. I was curious what people thought. That's all.

We have some here who have dipped their toes in this quagmire.

I say to each their own... and good luck to you! I have no feelings really on the choice of lifestyle, I understand it and accept those that embark on a life into it..... just know that it's not for me.

It's interesting being around both my current wife and the ex in a regular basis. They get on well together because there's no competition, their roles are fixed. Throw in the dynamics of a closer relationship and it would be difficultly impossible (not to put too light a slant on this).

Meh, read a couple of lines, and then closed the window. it's less about actual social phenomena and more about celebrity gossip.

I'll go continue living my polyamorous relationships with my various SOs without celebrity gossip.

So we've ruled out Will Smith's secret identity as gekkogecko. :p

Or is he just saying that to throw us off the scent? Damn devious our gekkogecko. :) :)

I've always been told that relationships are built on trust. I'm not one to share, and neither is my g/f. We've talked about it at length prior to me reading this, and neither of us feel that an open relationship is for us. She doesn't mind me looking, or flirting, and knows that I'm physically attracted to other women. She also trusts that I won't stray. It's the same with me for her. If it works for you great. Everyone has the right to pursue happiness.

Amen brother!
