    non-ethical monogamous situationship

    So … sexual slavery?

    I’m having a hard time coming up with another situation that fits that description.

      It’s a piss take of the ethical non-monogamy apps.

      But if we’re being a bit real - nonconsentual arranged marriages, 50 year age gaps, marriage for money, marriage for convenience etc etc would fit the bill

      It does say non-ethical instead of unethical, whatever that means.

      Also doesn’t clarify what part of the situationship is un/non-ethical, so maybe it’s just about undisclosed political campaign contributions or smth

        Non-ethical as in, ethics doesn’t apply? Like a situation-ship with 27 cubic feet of drywall.

        Non-ethical could mean without ethics not in violation of ethics?

        I guess that would mean the relationship has not or could not be defined by petty human rules of conduct. Like telling a supernova or a black hole to clean up it’s mess.

        Non-ethical is not “as opposed to unethical”, I’m sure. Rather, it’s a word play on enm, ethical non-monogamy.

        That’s how I read it, anyhow. I’m not the author.

        “situationships” I think is the key operator. Where there’s probably a power dynamic, one person is being led on/getting played, and the other person is the player.
