It would to the disadvantage for the other two parties, but only if I was having a bad case of the blue balls...

More seriously though...I do have a certain amount of respect for whoever actually goes ahead with having a threesome and does it successfully.
You must have to be pretty unhinibited to be able to go through with it, let alone making it a successful venture...

I think it would be the stuff after the deed that would be the problem.

pretty sure a threesome with the right people and plied with enough 'uninhibiters' that it could be rather nice - I mean come on?! Who doesn't enjoy a good root?

The problems would be in the fall out and you just can't really predict and seems to me there are more possible negative scenarios that are far more likely than 'everyone just keeps getting along great etc etc'

Someone pointed out to me via rep that being unhinibited is not so much what is part of the recipe for success, but more that insecurities are what will heavily at play in such a situation.

And I'd tend to agree...especially if some of the individuals taking part in the threesome are emotionally involved.

But anyway, I think we're probably diverging too much towards the other thread...

So, to bring it back to what MDU was saying, are there EVER any situations where adultery can be seen as permissible?

I commented previously on 'boundary conditions', didn't I?

The 'mentally disabled spouse' situation springs to mind - when one still wants to care for a person one loves, but that person isn't capable of understanding one's own needs or giving assent to anything of their own accord, 'adultery' ceases to be the betrayal that it would have been when they had all their marbles.

I'm reminded of the case in the news recently of a man who was convicted of sexual assault (if I recall correctly) after having sex with his senile wife while a friend watched. The court found that she wasn't capable of consenting to such activity. Apparently he'd been a good husband to her for decades, and this was a solitary lapse of judgment.

Obviously the man in question would have done better to leave her in peace and find some other woman of sound mind to look after his needs while he cared for his wife as needed during her decline.

I can't think of any situations other than mental disability that fit the bill, though.

Yes you did. However, as entrancing as your point of views are, I was looking forward to seeing other peoples' takes on the subject.

Neither can I for what it's worth.

Brownie points for syntactical effort, there, but that should be people's - the possessive apostrophe only goes after the 's' when the 's' is required to form the plural.

It's never wise to correct a women's spelling.

Not in my opinion, FWIW...

It's good to see that the last four years haven't eroded your ability to be straight-facedly hilarious.
