To whom it may concern:

I hereby decree the recently-coined 'Binogamous' to be superseded by the term 'Duogamous', lest the inclusion of the prefix 'Bi-' imply a touch of bisexuality.

That is all, go about your business.

Perhaps a little clarification: last weekend we were struggling with the incongruity of using 'monogamous' to describe a sexually-exclusive 3-way relationship. We decided that the participants couldnt really be called monogamous and a new word, Binogamous, was needed.

Hmmm... are you hinting at something here? Am I suppose to be shopping? :o)

Not at all! It was merely pointed out to me by one member of a sexually-exclusive triple that the 'bi' in 'binogamous' was ambiguous.

Once I get my paws on each other I doubt we'll have time for anyone else anyway... for a long while at least!
