    Healthy open relationships at scale will require some pretty big changes in society.

    Most notably the fact that comparatively few peopple want them would have to change.

      Eh. Humans are cheating serial monogamists for the most part. I don’t think lifelong monogamy is something we evolved for. Trying to keep it as the standard leads to all the problems we have. The whole patriarchal model that dominates the world is a result of monogamy and inheritance.

      It’s pie in the sky utopian stuff, at this point.
