Oh... Would you look at that. Proof of what I've been saying all along. So, what excuse will you guys and gals come up with this time? A few more straw men arguments or maybe a little bit of ad homonym? Actually, when I think about it, I really don't care. I'll just revel in the fact that I was right, you were wrong and that you-- Along with a few other people-- Are now eating a great big helping of crow and humble pie

Well lets see, when i opened your first link, it stated "Pages 133-168 are not part of this book preview" So I am assuming that you have to buy the book to see it all? Not sure. i didn't take a long time looking at it. However, I don't put much stock in the numbers that are expressed in your research. Your research shows that

an estimated 5% of the population has had a threesome but only approximately 2% of the population actively engage in open marriages

I disagree with that whole heartedly. Almost everyone that I know that has had a 3-some, or have had open marriages have stated that they tend to keep things like that a secret, so they wouldn't exactly be willing to admit this to a random survey.

It's also been observed that instances of jealousy occur much more frequently in situations involving more than two people than of situations involving only two participants
|
Well isn't that a bit of a obvious answer? who is going to get jealous when only they, and their SO are involved? what my wife is going to get jealous of my hand if i go into the bathroom to rub one off? Seems a bit of a skewed statement that is trying to give a person the wrong impression.

Of the number of reported divorces per year, about 1% of men and 2% of women report report open marriages to be the cause for their divorce (Janus & Janus). While this number is, in itself, quite low, it is rather high in relation to the number of reported open marriages per year

of this survey, what was the number of divorces that came out from spousal cheating? or from just plain boredom? I personally prefer that when getting statistics from a survey, that ALL of the different results were presented, not just a one sided result. Also, I personally think that only 1 or 2% of those who were in an open marriage citing that THAT was the cause of their divorce, is EXTREMELY low, if you look at the numbers. This tells me that out of those in an open marriage, that 98 to 99% of them had a DIFFERENT reason for the divorce, so I am lead to believe that 98 to 99% of them were just fine with their open relationship.
So I am STILL convinced that your argument against 3-somes, or even open marriages is weak. Oh, and since we are going to quote GPAs here. I'll add mine. 3.869 So you don't attempt to belittle my own intelligence.
