Yup. You have to buy the books unless you can find them in a library (Stated in a few responses up). Anyway, you disagree with my research? That's great! Then you can do as other people told me; Get some information to back up the reasons why you disagree. Until then, you're just holding an unsubstantiated opinion

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.

I'm going to stop you right there for a second. Almost everyone I know goes to church. Almost everyone I know are Democrats. Almost everyone I know is from the state of Florida. See where I'm going with this? Unfortunately, the phrase "Almost everyone I know..." isn't indicative of the population as a whole because it's only relevant to your experiences. The fact is that while the people you know might not parcipate in a study, there are plenty of people who would, will and have done so over the past thirty years or so.
*Shrugs*
You can't just throw out information you don't agree with.

Well isn't that a bit of a obvious answer? who is going to get jealous when only they, and their SO are involved?

...Thank you for proving the point
It's not like I've said this millions of times on multiple threads only to be jumped on by a certain group of people. Glad to see you're in agreement

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.

*Sigh*
You're misrepresenting the numbers. I didn't say 1 - 2% of
open marriages, I said 1 - 2% of
all marriages. Remember when I said that approximately 2% of all marriages are open marriages? There's a difference in the way you interpreted it and what was actually meant.

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.

It wasn't aimed at you. If you read my response, you'd notice that Hyacinthe stated something about how I probably either slept through or failed my classes
Speaking of whom...

No offense or anything, but what's the point in presenting you with any kind of information if you're just gonna' turn around and ignore it or pretend you didn't see it? Really. This'll be the second time in as many months as you've tried that
