Mormons don’t have the hottest of reputations.

Probably because Mormons are traditionally conservative, believe in ‘modest’ dress and value virginity before marriage. So it’s not exactly regarded as a sexy faith (to be fair, are there any sexy religions?) But this couple, Danielle and Clayton, are demonstrating quite the opposite.

The Mormon couple are what’s known as ‘monogamish’ – when a couple don’t have formalised external relationships (polyamory) but do sometimes indulge in sexual activities outside of their marriage.

Clayton and Danielle Watson (38 and 34 respectively) from Salt Lake City, Utah, USA, grew up in conservative Mormon families and met at university when they were 22 and 18.


The couple fell in love and dated for a year before they were married and the pair have only ever had sex with each other but were not virgins on their wedding day which was, apparently, a disappointment for their families.

After they were married, Danielle and Clayton realised that traditional monogamous relationship came with a standards, rules and expectations that they were not comfortable conforming to.



With this, they decided to explore being monogamish which allowed them to set rules and boundaries to suit them.

Their ‘monogamish’ relationship involves naturism, being sex positive, putting on shows in sex clubs, having sex in the same room as others, flirting with other couples and sharing sexy pictures.
