If it involved lying to my partner, then no, I would not do it. If it were a choice, I'd rather have honesty over monogamy.

No - because if your side partner lives under the same arrangement - your coupling could expose your significant other - who you've now down graded to less than that - to a bunch of STD's and other shit that she quite likely wasn't prepared to deal with.

If I am in a relationship then we have already talked about the possibility of sex on the side. I will not lie, consent and honesty are far to important to me to lie about something so banal. I am extremely picky about partners, those I choose to share my life with, and they wouldn't lie to me either. However, being open and honest about one's desires is part of every relationship that I have had for the past decade. There is no scenario where I will have sex with someone that my partner hasn't met or at the very least hasn't been made aware of and given their permission. This eliminates the whole "getting caught" thing, keeps everyone happy in the relationship, and allows for us to have discussions about sex and desires without any fear that those desires will somehow taint the relationship.

. Thats what trolls do.

Wondering when we're going to hear from nick.......

There is no such thing as guaranteed not to be caught.

I'm usually in open relationships, and the idiots still feel the need to cheat. Newsflash...... if you insist that you aren't seeing anyone and then get outed, that's cheating.
