THE GRASS IS GREENER
by guest writer Wendy Stragr of GOOD CLEAN LOVE
If ever an expression defined human behavior, it is the notion that the grass is greener on the other side of the fence.
Ovid, an ancient Roman philosopher and poet was perhaps the first when he said that "the harvest is always more fruitful in another man's fields." This sense that life is better for others has perhaps its strongest and most debilitating hold on us as it affects our relationships.
Infidelity, the most cutting breach of trust that we experience in our intimate relationships is rampant. It is so common that not having some form of the experience is uncommon. While the stories of infidelity are as unique as the millions of people who engage in them - our shared human biology, emotional needs and the thinking errors that allow them - are universal.
Humans are not hardwired for monogamy any more than most mammals. The work of David Barash in the Myth of Monogamy is a great primer in understanding why infidelity is more the norm than the exception.
"We are not naturally monogamous. Anthropologists report that the overwhelming majority of human societies either are polygamous or were polygamous prior to the cultural homogenization of recent decades." In a recent study of committed partners, fully 95% of men and 80% of women fantasized about sex with other partners.

Polyamory (Part I): "When Loving One Isn't Enough"
In my ongoing writing and research for my next book, I have talked to couples who are finding new and unique ways of dealing with long term commitment and sexuality. In this month's news, we have a guest writer - Dr Liz Currin writes about a form of relationship called Polyamory. To some, the following type of relationship may sound challenging, and to others it may be the answer to their questions about long term monogamy. Please note I do not recommend or disagree with anyone's relationship lifestyle. The information below is for your information only. Feel free to write me with questions or comments at [email protected]
Polyamory (Part I): "When Loving One Isn't Enough"
By Liz Currin, Ph.D. � 2009
Atlanta Area Psychological Associates, P.C.
Just what is polyamory? The word comes from the Latin "poly" (meaning "many") and "amor" (meaning "love"). So, polyamory literally means "loving many". Polyamory is also sometimes referred to as "consensual non-monogamy", which gets us to its essence. It is non-monogamy in the sense that practitioners of polyamory are emotionally (and generally sexually) involved with more than one partner at a time. It is consensual in that the individuals involved are aware of this arrangement and agree to it.
Polyamory is based on the idea that the legal, emotional, and sexual limits which Western society places on our intimate relationships are artificial and unnecessarily restrictive. Polyamorists believe that there is room in the human heart for deeply loving as many individuals as one desires, so that it's possible to be involved in any one of a number of types of relationships.
The possibilities for polyamorous relationships are as varied as the individuals who practice it, just as with those who practice traditional monogamy and serial monogamy (being intimately involved with or married to different individuals sequentially). Again, the essence of polyamorous relating is that it is non-monogamous and consensual.
