Due to my somewhat special socialization, I am not terribly bound by society-approved morals and dogmas. Mind you, I think I behave decently enough but I will not, ever, judge anybody's behaviour as long as he or she doesn't set out to willfully hurt anybody else. Nor do I think it terribly important what people think of me. Of course, I do not have very many friends or even aquintances in the bargain.
On the other hand, moral outcasts are free to think about social structures from an out-of-society point of view. The concept "polyamory" has been brought to my notice earlier this year. By this, people mean they have relationships with more than one spouse. This is not the classical concept of cuckolding where you are cheating your partner or even of the newer practise of an "open relationship" where you may substain sexual relationships with others, as long as they stay sexual and you do not engage in any romantic feelings.
By contrast, polyamory is a style where you have a relationship that is open towards new relationships. You don't cheat because your partnership is conducted in an atmosphere of tolerance and openmindedness, circumstances under which honesty is possible and even easy. You don't cut off your old partner when you fall in love with somebody else but bring the new love into the existing relationship. Inclusiveness instead of exclusivity.
