MONOGAMY, SWAPPING, SWINGING, OPEN RELATIONSHIPS. THREESOMES, THE LIFESTYLE - Which is Right for YOU?

Based on research by psychologists, sociologists and sexologists from around the world.  Psychological research has shown that that 1 out of 6 people desire to engage in polyamory: In having an open relationship, in having a ménage a trois, in having a swapping arrangement with another couple, or in engaging in swinging. Why is there so much interest in these things? Research shows that there are sexual disadvantages of monogamy, including lower sexual desire and dysfunction. Recent research has found that women have a greater need than men for novel stimuli in order to maintain sexual arousal, and, without the introduction of new stimuli women’s sexual arousal is likely to diminish. Given that women habituate to their monogamous partners, it is not surprising that research has found that women (and men) in polyamorous relationships report high sexual satisfaction. For women who’ve been with their partners between one and four years, a dive begins — and continues, leaving male desire far higher.  Research shows that polyamorous relationships provide a space for women to exert sexual autonomy without risk of stigmatization. Surveys confirm that 97.5% of people participating in a polyamorous relationship feel that their life has improved overall because of it. Some data suggests that people participating in non-monogamous relationships may actually have an opportunity for more self-awareness and peace with their sexual needs than those in a monogamous relationship. Both swingers and polyamorists – the swappers, those in threesomes, and those in open relationships -- were around ten percentage points higher than the general population in responding that “Life is Close to Ideal” (67% vs. 57%) and ten percent lower in saying that they disagreed that their lives were close to ideal.“ Musical excerpts:  Sonate (pour Anita) (piano, Randolph Pitts) Concerto per pianoforte e orchestra (dedicato ad Anita DeFrancesco) (piano, Randolph Pitts) Randolph Pitts holds Summa Cum Laude degrees in Social Psychology and Egyptology from the University of California Berkeley, and a Masters Degree in Motion Picture Production and Entertainment Law from UCLA.
