It's absolutly absurd in encouraging such relationship as I have seen many of my friends bedding many women in the name of live in relationship.As far as men are concerned these are just casual sex and there is no value to the relationship.And all my friends claim the opposite sex too don't end up with one or two.Then what do you call these relationship other than organised sex within a group of friends. Marriage is a commitment and there cannot be any two opinion on that or how can we describe the apalling situation like in the west.
