Question Non-Monogamy: A Discussion

After the "Cheating at the Bachelor Party" thread, I thought it might be interesting to talk about non-monogamy. Read this article, and let's talk about the pros/cons of non-monogamous relationships. Would you do it? Why, or why not?

The article is here: http://newyorkmetro.com/lifestyle/se...063/index.html

An excerpt: For much of human history, monogamy (or, at least, presumed monogamy) has been the default setting for long-term love. Hack the system, goes the theory, refuse to forsake all others, open the door even a crack—and the whole relationship will crash. Any dissenters have been pathologized as delusional idealists or worse. But now a new generation of couples is employing a kind of homeopathic hypothesis: that a tiny injection of adventure will ward off the urge to stray further—as long as it’s all on the table and up for discussion. (And just as with homeopathy, a healthy percentage of the population considers this premise bunk.)
