DFy> It sounds like sex overwhelms everything else in your realtionships
DFy> Would you agree with the statement: If she's not going to be 
DFy> monogamous to me, she's not worth being close to? 
 
No.  Not really.  I'll explain that with your other question. 
 
DFy> Can you be close to someone without having sex? 
  
Yep, sure can.  I have a lot of female friends that I have no sexual 
contact with...and, no, that doesn't bother me.  Saavik and I are 
close, and we haven't had any sexual contact.  (yet....heheheh)
As far as monogamous goes as it pertains to whether or not I'd think
she's worthy of getting close to:  I don't decide someone's worth 
by their sexual orientation; whether it be straight, gay, bi, with
or without monogamy.  I would not date someone in a relationship
where she wanted an open relationship, and I wanted a monogamous one, 
because I would just be setting myself to get hurt.  (If I want a
monogamous relationship with someone, I know that I would become too
attach (for lack of a better word) to be able to tolerant her having
any other lovers.
