Orgasm Army user profiles are similar to those on most member sites, except there’s a bit more focus on sex and less on occupation. The options are designed to be inclusive, letting people say, for example, whether they’re Straight, Gay, Bisexual, Bi-curious or Not Specified. On Marital Status, the options include Single, Going SteadyEngaged, Married, Divorced, Polygamous and Not Specified, which we didn’t think was too controversial until we received this enlightening e-mail from a member…
“Hello there,
I wanted to bring to your attention one of the categories you have in the options on your profile pages. There is a choice, under “Marital Status” for “Polygamous”. As you undoubtedly know, this means more than one wife or husband.
As it isn’t a legal option in most places to actually marry more than one person at a time, and since this option does not include people who are in non-married relationships with more than one person, I feel a more inclusive term to use here would be “Polyamorous”.
I am not married to any individual, but I am in committed relationships with more than one person. Perhaps I’m being pernickety, but I do enjoy using the more inclusive terms, so that everybody can feel more, well, included.
I didn’t like ticking “Polygamous”, but it was the closest thing to what I am, so that’s what I chose. Thanks for your attention.
Best regards, Lubyanka.
