The conditions of your marriage are completely up to you and the person you are married too... if you live in a free country. What kills me is the same people demanding 'marriage equality' I. e. further government involvement in marriage are the same people who want X group out of their bedrooms. The second marriage is decoupled (heh get it decoupled?) from the State is the second these stupid civil rights groups will begin to show their true colors. I mean what will be their purpose if people were truly free to do whatever they want, hire/fire people for whatever, marry whomever or whatever they want?

"B-b-b-b-b-but what if my partner (s) gets hurt and the hospital won't allow me to visit them because of X?"

Very interesting concept here. In a sense yes you are a slave. Some relationships are built that way. You don't have the freedom to do what you please 100% and drop the word "responsibility" to define being strapped down to one woman and a bunch of children. It's more than just sexual exclusivity. When there are other factors that block any sort of free will, in that sense isn't that a form of slavery.

Think about how it's illegal to completely live being self sufficient with no money being made. Just growing your own food and providing your own resources through your own means and man power. That is illegal today and in that sense we are all slaves.

Lol I don't see how not fucking other people is compared to slavery, which involves force labor of some sort. Does your wife make your dick carry bricks up to the top of a pyramid you're building in the backyard or work the fields?

I think not.

If you chose to get into a marriage where monogamy was a prerequisite you aren't a slave. You made the choice. You signed your "free fuck" rights away.

Unless you're being forced into marriage in addition to having forced to have sex with whoever the person to who you were 'wed' to...
No. I think you meant to say is marriage equal a legal form of what is otherwise known as a monogamous relationship.

No, not if it's consensual. Marriage is about commitment and agreement to be exclusive with one other person, and if that doesn't appeal to you, then don't get married lol. I think it's pretty straightforward.

If you don't want an exclusive relationship, don't commit to one. It's that simple. Date casually or establish an open relationship.

madhatters4 · Answer

no since you voluntarily enter into the agreement. slavery is involuntary servitude

Chanel1981 · Answer

So long as both parties entered the relationship willing how could it be considered slavery?

W31rd0 · Answer

People voluntarily commit themselves to a partner for the rest of their lives. That is not slavery.

Zendrya · Answer

don't get married if you don't want to be exclusive... Simple

NJ_Casanova · Answer

No Marriage is a bond/promiss, where you give 100% of yourself to each other. If you are thinking about/temped by other girls.. you aren't in Love.

Alessus · Answer

Considering entering marriage is voluntary, no it's not slavery.

JimRSmith · Answer

Unless somebody is forcing you to take a marriage vow, then treat it seriously.  Sexual exclusivity is part of that. If you're not ready for that, then you're not ready to get married either.

BCRanger10 · Answer

No. How and why would it be?

SovereignessofVamps · Answer

Yes, my husband and I would be each other's sex slaves.

AleDeEurope · Answer

It's not slavery because you're willingly exclusive. If you're not into that, then you should marry a girl/guy who is into having sex with other people.

wittymilf · Answer

If you didn't enter into the contract of marriage willingly sure.

oddwaffle · Answer

A man chooses, a slave obeys. As long as you have a choice, you are not a slave.

alice55 · Answer

No, it's not. If you do not want don't do exclusive relationship.

brain5000 · Answer

This is a troll question, right? Because duh, you can leave the relationship anytime you want to?

Jager66 · Answer

No because you agree to be monogamous. If monogamy isn't for one of the people then they are not a match and should break up so they can both go find what they need. Monogamy and Polyamory, respectively.

Nadzzz · Answer

If faithfulness seems like slavery to you then just don't get married at all and do hookups only

ProfessorScrewEyes · Answer

The fuck? No. Committing to another person is not slavery. Just because you happen to not want to only have one partner doesn't mean that the rest of us don't

jacquesvol · Answer

No longer: divorce is legal. It wasn't always legal.

Browneye57 · Answer

Well, at least your pollsters have a clue.

ASEXY · Answer

No, I think it's a form of possession...

SneakySnickerdoodle · Answer

Yes. The reason being although it was a voluntary decision on the part of all the participants, they should be allowed to change their minds later. Marriage doesn't allow that.

RedThread · Answer

Nah and to say so trivializes people throughout history who were enslaved.

John_Doesnt · Answer

Yes, we should all worship Satan and be polygamous like the Mormons.

DiegoO · Answer

I didn´t get your question, no, sexual exclusivity is not slavery, if two people wants the sameting there is no slavery in that, if you´re been forced is another story.
