Polyamory Thread: I Love You All!

[Othelos]

My personal preference: no, thank you. Although, I would consider an open relationship.

[Liriena]

just one small question nsg, How would you feel if your wife/girlfriend sleeps with 30 other men ?

Depends. Would she be sharing those 30 men with me?

[Hurdegaryp]

Okay. Are you going to provide any arguments for why you believe multiple people involved in a consenting relationship are wrong or should I just ignore you?

You know such a thing would just break the very moral fabric of society, you know society asks to adhere to very basic and very minimum things like the roles each gender has to play and such an arrangement would just ruin society

So what you're really saying is that society can't handle it because YOU can't handle it? Newsflash: you're not the center of the universe, kid.

Woe to the context.

If we weren't in a polyamorous relationship (it is a mutual understanding), then I would of course be hurt by such a betrayal of my trust. However, that isn't the context of the thread, so the question isn't of much relevance.

Polyamory seems like a lot of work. And if it was universally practiced by both sexes, I think we'd need a chart to explain relationships.

Monogamous relationships are already like that

I guess I shouldn't tread on someone else's personal life if they're into that stuff.

I take it you personally know every single polyamorous relationship on the face of the Earth? Otherwise, how could you make such a sweeping claim with a straight face?

It is sometimes practiced by the woman who dates two, such as one who's in my school.

Dating =/= being in a relationship

I worded that wrong.
She's about to go in a full relationship with the male, and she is in a relationship, though I see your point.

Actually I find it's much more honest. I can remark to my partners about if I'm attracted to someone and they seem much less prone to jealousy than my monogamous partners ever were.I have no idea why you'd think it made suffering or heartbreaks more likely though... You know your partners are going to be sleeping with each other sometimes, they tell you about it, and you accept that they love you just as much as if they only slept with you. Just like you know yourself that you love both of them as much as if you were only sleeping with one of them.

they have to find one person the most attractive at a given time though...

it can't be so perfectly balanced...

Which is why they are for masochists .

I certainly don't find only one person more attractive than all others after any given time... so I don't see why they would. Relationships generally exist in a state of flux in my experience anyway, the idea is to have deeper connections than skin deep admiration so that the relationship survives those fluxes.

moral fabric of society

You know, much like "protect the children" any argument based on maintaining/restoring the "moral fabric of society" instantly implies to me that the person has no good logical argument for their position.

As a default, I tend to line up on the other side of any argument that starts with that justification.

This kind of behavior is frowned upon by almost all people except maybe a few islands the Brazilian guy told us about, there must be a reason for it....


even the poll over here proves 54 % will not engage in them

That's not a credible source.
That's not even a source.

Trying living like that, such things don't need to sources its like asking for a source of why the earth is round

nearly everywhere there is monogamy, or in some extreme cases polygamy in which a man of status keeps 2 or more wives

Actually, stereotyping people as in, "I don't like it" is not creditable to a random Brazilian man.

Most of them I've seen have been more stable than monogamous ones.

Every relationship is different, though I don't see why that would mean that much. Many monogamous people would concede that they find some people more attractive then their partners, but that doesn't mean they have any desire to leave their partner. People tend to form and maintain relationships because they mean something to them, not just because they are physically attracted to them.

some Brazilian guy on nsg, don't remember his name but yeah he shared a link about an island with some really weird kind of culture now you would have to wait for him to come as I don't remember his name

my point is everyone follows monogamous and in some cases polygamous practices but only those who can afford to keep 2 or more wives ( i e arabs)

Still not creditable, both statements.

Except for the many polyamorous relationships that exist around the world. The fact that they tend to be the minority doesn't negate the fact that they exist around the world and have not destroyed societies.

Arabians don't all have polygamous marriages.
