Subject #7 who believed “a deep loving
spiritual connection can only come from a one on one relationship” seemed to be
against polyamory because it did not offer those traits. However, when asked
why she disagreed her explanation was “it is dan gerous
to your physical and mental health.” An even further contradiction was her
conditions of the forgiveness of cheating, “are they able to explain why, is it
habitual, and was it an isolated drunken incident.” An isolated, drunken
incident might imply there was no protection used or knowledge of the other
partner’s sexual history which, in turn, would be dangerous to all parties’
physical and mental health.
For
subject #10 who said he did not believe in poly marriage because “it takes the
meaning and innocence away from being in a relationship,” it appeared to be a
commitment issue. He continued to say “the whole
faithfulness thing, it makes it sort of none existent.” However, he also
believed cheating was forgivable “simply because things happen…if you’re a human
it could happen,” and that a polyamorous relationship “would actually be pretty
fun, to have sex, but not an actual relationship.”
