I have been in several relationships, and have not felt the need to try
the monogamy game in any of them.  In fact, in my experience, monogamy
in gay relationships seems to be almost exclusively confined to *very*
young relationships (and most of them that start monogamous do not last
long enough to become older relationships).  In the last two relationships
that I have been involved in (7 years and 4 years respectively), monogamy
and its associated emotion jealosy have been outlawed at the beginning
of the relationship.  Ridding a relationship of jealosy is, naturally,
on ongoing process that takes much effort on the part of all parties
involved.
