I can only help you out with my thoughts regarding that post...

To me, this above statement only implies that they both like each other. There was not a mention of "my girlfried..." which to me would imply an exclusive relationship.

I have just read another post regarding "relationship" issues in where there has been no discussion as to where each person in that relationship stands (are they going steady or is it just taken for granted that they are?). The response in that thread I thought was a good one... Do you label your relationships? If you need to label it, then it needs to be discussed, but what do you do if there isn't a label, and should we label our relationships at all?

Personally, I would prefer to address and communicate within my relationships. I also don't think that we are or could be creating a culture of "fuck buddies", but if we were doing that, why is that a bad thing? (Given that it is done responsibly with communication, testing etc.)

I don't think it's about the "exclusivity of relationships", I would be stressing communication within relationships. To me it would be more preferable that we be honest with ourselves and others in any relationship, no matter what the parameters.
