A few quote from Swingers And Polyamorists May Have More Satisfying Sex Lives Than Monogamists<\/a>:<\/p>\n

\n

A recent paper published in the Journal of Sex Research<\/em> reviewed dozens of studies focusing on three different forms of CNM: swinging, open relationships, and polyamory. The results of these studies were then compared to data on people in monogamous relationships. <\/p>\n

In the end, the authors concluded that \u201cthe majority of research suggests that the psychological well-being and the quality of the relationships of consensual nonmonogamists is not significantly different from that of monogamists.\u201d It didn\u2019t matter what outcome they considered\u2014from overall relationship adjustment to jealousy to relationship stability\u2014there just wasn\u2019t evidence for the idea that monogamists are necessarily happier or better off.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

That covers the quality of the relationship issue. And now the satisfaction with their sex lives:<\/p>\n

\n

two studies were conducted in which people practicing one of three forms of consensual non-monogamy (again, swinging, open relationships, and polyamory) were compared to persons practicing monogamy in terms of their sexual satisfaction, likelihood of reaching orgasm, and how recently they had sex.<\/p>\n

The results revealed that polyamorists and swingers reported more satisfying sex lives than monogamists and were more likely to have had sex recently with their primary partner. In addition, swingers (but not polyamorists) were more likely to have orgasmed the last time they had sex than were monogamists. Just to be clear, it was not<\/em> the case that monogamists were dissatisfied with their sex lives. They were satisfied overall\u2014it\u2019s just that consensual non-monogamists were more satisfied on average.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

I found the part about swingers being more likely to have orgasmed the most recent time they had sex interesting. And, of course, it raises the questions:<\/p>\n
