When was the last time anyone was convicted of them, though?  When was the

Happens all the time, as do convictions.  They just don't make the news much.

Really?  Then it shouldn't be much work for you to actually answer my question
and point to a case where someone was arrested and convicted of one of these
acts (and NOT for prostitution).

Read
Playboy (I do.  Hell yes I look at the pictures, but there's a lot of good
reading
there!), they bring up the ridiculous nature of some of these morality laws
all the
time.

Yes, stupid blue laws still on the books can be amusing.


I HAVE had those
strong feelings for 2 people at once before.

Really?  And did you pursue it?  What happened, in the end?

Note that I am NOT saying that all monogamous relationships are
automatically
more meaningful than any open relationships, even.

Definitely not.  I have seen too many hollow, sham monogamous relationships.
Better to just come out with it and admit polyamory.

Absolutely.

Once again, don't make the mistake of thinking I'm saying polyamory=bad or
polyamory=wrong or anything like that.  What 3 (or four, or five, or 30)
consenting adults get up to is their own business.

I wouldn't consider myself a polyamorist, but I wouldn't completely deny the
possibility either.

The possibility of what, exactly?  Having feelings for more than one person at
a time?

Did I say I didn't beleive in the possibility of that, either?  I don't think
so.

Many of the stories in there aren't "look at this stupid law noone enforces", they are "I can't believe they ARE enforcing this law on Mr/Mrs. X". (...) I married one. If polygamy were (...)
