My first thought upon reading that line was, "That sounds like a recipe for a lot of uncomfortable STD conversations". I honestly don't think a relationship like that would work anyway. I would think that each partner would always question if the other is really "emotionally monogamous" when they are sleeping with other people.

From my experience as a divorce lawyer, those who dabble in "open" marriage with emotional monogamy eventually doubt their partner or fall for someone outside of the marriage.
As an interesting aside, every divorce I have handled that involved "swinging" came from the MOST conservative county in the entire Red State where I practice law. This same county just had the Republican Mayor of it's largest city come out as a gay man (yes, he has now been sued for divorce.) Ah the hypocrisy of it all . . . key parties and the like.
