The New Monogamists
Love and marriage may go together like a horse and carriage, but must marriage and monogamy? Out contributor, Tim Murphy writes about marriage in monogamy for gay couples in “The New Monogamists”.
He interviewed Ackerman faculty member Jean Malpas recently, “One of my gay couples just were remarking that they’d been together five years and were still monogamous. They said, ‘Maybe it’s because we just got married. It’s harder to imagine being in an open marriage than an open relationship. Maybe that’s because marriage is what our parents had?’ ”
Jean Malpas, director of Ackerman’s Gender and Family Project, was recently interviewed by CNN contributor and sex therapist Ian Kerner in “Are Your Normal in Bed?”
The survey results call into question stereotypes that men compartmentalize sex and emotions, says Jean Malpas, a psychotherapist in New York. “Men are often described as rigidly separating sex and feelings,” he says. “However, many straight, gay or bisexual men I encounter in my clinical practice appreciate meaningful sexual intimacy. They often long for a sexuality anchored in the complicity and playfulness of their romantic relationship.”
