My thoughts exactly...

Why not just say "friends first"?
Call me a minimalist when it comes to my approach at communication, but I tend to think the terms that are more readily understood and accessible are always preferable to jargon.
Besides "opportunists" or "consensual nonmonogamists" doesn't say a thing about a desire for friendship. In fact, both seem to give me the impression - based just on the terminology - that either of you would sleep around without the other if the opportunity arises. "Opportunists" makes me think the exact opposite of developing friendship...
And if Daumal was correct (and I am not so sure he was) then these words have fallen well short of "exactness of thought".
