A World Built For Monogamy

Today on Double Teamed, Cami and Niki are joined by their friend Natalie to talk about the barriers keeping non-monogamy from being part of the norm. Engaging in open relationships remains a sensitive topic for many, especially for married couples. And in a society where marriage is only for two people, a third party (or maybe even a fourth) is completely out of the picture! But, what would it take for society to accept it? What if we can look past the fears and stigma and accept all types of love? Future politicians would have their hands full with this topic!
