From conversations with many people in such relationships, here is what I think they'd answer:
1) Yes
2) No
3) Yes
4) No, because conventional relationships usually sound fairly silly to people who have accepted open relationships
5) Yes
6) Some of the people I've talked to aren't married. Some are, but entered in the relationship as a monogamous couple, only to discover the joys of an open relationship. Either way, at least in the USA, it pays to be married.
7) I wouldn't assume so. All the emotion is reserved for the spouse. So, while some partners may have all the talent, the spouse is the real heart of pleasure.
8) Yes
9) Yes, it's imperative that communication lines are always wide open and transmitting.
10) I'm not in a relationship like this, so i can't answer.
