What is your thought on marriage?

[Duvniask]

There is no such thing as good and evil when it comes to survival and evolution, and as such, you can't say that it's in human nature to do evil, seeing as how human nature can change depending on area, culture, etc...

Case in point, the fact that most East Asian people (Note: I said most, not all) tend to have a more communal mindset and enjoys being in larger groups (Mainly due to agricultural and societal needs), where as in the West, we have a more individualistic mindset and are a bit more picky when it comes to groups. Also, funnily enough, most of the nicer countries in the world also happen to be the most Atheistic, so yeah...

Human nature is more or less homogeneous with some variety depending on location, but in the end humans are humans.

Nice doesn't mean better, most people that are nice are fake AF. They don't want to "offend" you.

Honestly, what makes you think most nice people are "fake"? Because they're capable of (some) patience and restraint when it comes to dealing with others? I don't see how that is fake at all. Having some concern for others and trying to avoid unnecessarily offending them as well as getting on their bad side—basically not being a prick—is not a bad thing. I don't need to be in someone's face or pester them to let them know that I disagree with them, for instance. Admittedly, I will sometimes get temperamental because what is being discussed has some personal importance to me or I feel the other side is being unfair or thoughtless, but I nevertheless feel it is worth making an attempt.

In the meantime, what is everyone's opinion on open relationships and for the matter, the idea of sharing a spouse? Maybe I've just found the wrong side of the internet but it seems to me like there's quite a lot of swinging couples or different fetishes related to that.

If people are up for it and are consenting to it, i guess why not.

Not really my thing though.

So I can't borrow your wife?

Well i dont have a wife and if i did no, no you cannot.

I only have open relationships. It isn't due to fetishes or an interest in swinging however. I'm polyamorous, so I can experience romantic or sexual attraction to multiple people at once. There are closed polyamorous relationships, where multiple people are involved in a romantic relationship, but sex is closed off to those outside of the group. I don't personally identify sex and romance as being exclusive to one another, rather seeing them as separate things that occassionally overlap. For such reasons, I don't mind my partners having sex with other people, so long as we've discussed it and are open about what is happening. Honesty, trust, and communication are essential to any relationship, but they are even more so for open or poly ones.

Is it difficult to find people, given that it would seem the vast majority of the population is monogamous?

I don’t care if other people engage in open relationships, that’s their thing, but I’m not into them and wouldn’t ever be in one.

As long as it's all consenting I don't give a shit.

Cuckoldry for some reason seems to be rearing it's ugly head for some reason, and our rightful disgust at that practice would be a natural reaction to it.

You are aware that people have been watching other people fuck quite a lot in the past few decades ? Some even have a 10.000 pornmovie collection.

You are aware cuckoldry is watching your own partner having sex with someone else, right? Apparently it's the new "enlightened male feminist" fetish, which they somehow convince themselves is what "real men" do.

1. Actually, cuckhold is only a term that applies to males (It meaning a male with an adulterous female partner), the term for females with an adulterous male partner is a cuckquean.
2. Hey look, bullshit you're trying to pass off as fact in order to make your ridiculous claims seem real, geez, it's not like you've never done that before...

I do, but I was referring to cuckoldry as it's the most common and most visible on social media.

Hey look, bullshit you're trying to pass off as fact in order to make your ridiculous claims seem real, geez, it's not like you've never done that before...

I'd provide evidence if it wasn't NSFW.

Just a nitpick, but that's just what Cuckhold pornography genre is. Cuckholdry as a biological term refers to a male unknowingly raising offspring that isn't his.

It's applied to more than raising children. Such is the English language.

I was talking specifically in biology.

But, since we're on the topic of cuckholdry. Unless I misunderstand the law, a cuckhold can be forced to pay child support for children that aren't his.

That seems to be just in Michigan, but still, this should get people to call their representatives and get this law repealed.

You know maybe more people should be protesting this sort of shit instead of flying red and black flags and breaking shit? Even the articles seem to condemn the women who took advantage of the men's sperm, I wouldn't say this is something that is bound to happen, it's a matter of bringing the laws to enough people's' attention that things get changed.

2. Oh,, running away from the claim, another thing you've never done before...

I'm not running away from the claim, I'm not willing to get an infraction to win an internet argument.

You know maybe more people should be protesting this sort of shirt instead of flying red and black flags and breaking shit?

The thing is, if you did, people would start invoking the slippery slope fallacy about deadbeat dads and more kids being raised by single parents.

Even the articles seem to condemn the women who took advantage of the men's sperm, I wouldn't say this is something that is bound to happen, it's a matter of bringing the laws to enough people's' attention that things get changed.

It's to incredulous for most people to believe, plus society hasn't really gotten over the "knock up, pay up" mindset.

Maybe there should be a hashtag campaign for it or something. Also apologies for my typo, didn't see it until now. I'm not talking about protesting shirts.

It can be, though it's less difficult than you may think. A significant portion of my friends are polyamorous, and various dating networks have come out that provide non-monogamous options, and serve to match you with other non-monogamous individuals.
