Salon.com mwt | Sex as
Salon.com mwt | Sex as an extreme sport I wanted emotional exploration — only monogamy stood in my way.
“It’s not that I don’t believe in monogamy,” I explained. “It’s that I don’t think that monogamy is the only possible expression of human needs and desires.”
…
It doesn’t take superhuman powers of observation to notice that many of us cannot take a vow of monogamy and keep it forever; and when we do, it is often out of fear of the consequences, not out of commitment to our partner. Far from signaling true connection, monogamy can become a substitute for emotional attachment. I wasn’t sure what was possible, but I knew that I didn’t want to be in a long-term relationship cemented by fear. Single or married, I still had the same goal: to untangle the confusing web of sex, loss and intimacy.
…
What I didn’t hear, from either my friends or my lovers, was that monogamy was desirable because it provided a channel to greater closeness, because it was a way of exploring the unknown. Instead, I listened to a familiar litany, full of shoulds and oughts and moral opprobrium, all of which I understood, even respected, but couldn’t support.
Talking with friends about this over the weekend, wish they were on-line time to print for them.

Experts Urge U.N. to Assure
Experts Urge U.N. to Assure Internet Access to All by 2004
“But Lankester’s panel warned that action was urgently needed to reach this goal and to stop the rapidly growing ‘digital divide’ between rich and poor countries.”
Internet access is NEEDED by all in this world, not just rich americans like myself. If you are an american/westerner it is hard to not be rich compared to the rest of the world.
