And it begins…

Greetings, my name is Jarrod Jenkins.  And I’m a minority.  Not because I’m Black, but because I am a man that supports monogamous relationships.  I’ve been in most situations that men face, i.e. having to turn down attractive women, having strong feelings for an ex while in a new relationship, out having fun with the fellas.  In fact, I’ve even cheated in a previous relationship.

But do I cheat in my current relationship? No.  And by cheating, I am not just talking about having sexual intercourse with another woman.  I am talking about sending flirtatious text messages, going on dates, etc.  I’ve always known cheating was wrong and constantly worked toward learning myself.  Maybe I’ve matured or just really care about my girlfriend.  Either way, I haven’t even come close to cheating on my girlfriend and don’t plan on it.  Why? Because I’ve set my mind on it that I’m not going to.

We live in a culture that makes a mockery out of monogamy.  For crying out loud, monagamy.com is a pornographic website.  We have websites like AshleyMadison.com that are dating websites for married people.  The website even offered Tiger Woods $5 million to do endorsements for the site.  If you see my header, you will see a “Wall of Shame” that I’ve put together.  There are hundreds of famous cheaters missing from the list, but you get the picture.

So why am I doing this?  Because I know that I am not the only one out there.  And even if I am, I know that I can win people over to my side (I am a student after all).  The Internet has been widely used for over 10 years and the vast majority of websites are for entertainment (downloading music, looking at photos and videos, etc.).  But the Internet has the potential to do so much more.  I can link with other people like me out there.  And we can eventually infect the world.

I want to change mindsets by spreading the philosophy of LOVE.

L – Liability.  Realizing that there are consequences that surround your private actions.  This includes actual infidelity, viewing pornography, visiting strip clubs, etc.

O – Openness.  Sharing information with your significant other.  Not keeping secrets and having a transparent relationship.

V – Visibility.  We believe that relationships should be seen.  Holding hands in public, telling people that you are in relationship, or anything you can do to let the public know that you are taken.

E – Equality.  Treating your significant other as an equal in the relationship.  Setting rules for the relationship that apply to both parties (don’t do anything that you wouldn’t want the other person doing to you).

This website will be the place where you go need someone to talk to whenever you are looking for support.  You can also come here when you are feeling weak and tempted to cheat.  I’ve also created a discussion page so we can really talk about issues that men are facing.

Feel free to reach me by selecting the Contacts tab (Gmail account is probably the best way to reach me).

Stay Strong,

A. Jarrod Jenkins
