I recently became acquainted with the topic of polyamory through my boyfriend who has suddenly taken interest in it. Polyamory is basically where people are in open relationships but everyone involved is consenting, for example there may be a husband and wife where the wife would like to have an extra partner but she must do it upon the consent of her husband, she cannot be secret about it or selfish.

When I first read about it I said it sounds cool, makes sense and I have nothing like religion holding me back. I have gradually found the concept alone to be difficult to cope with though and we haven't even started! Even with the forward thinking that I have on many issues I am finding it difficult to suddenly let my partner be with others.

I am wondering what other Atheists feel about this? Have you experimented? I am assuming Atheists are some of the better minds to communicate with on this subject :)
