Interesting. Perhaps poly will not be scorned as much if it is platonic. When it involves sex, there are often consequences that might be detrimental to society as a whole.
A lot of people in poly relationships get a lot of shit for being “greedy” or “not knowing what we want”, or “cheating”, or are accused of “banging anything that walks” but those are rarely true, and certainly not in my case.
Ok. I will be interested in what is true in your own case. First, I think your analogy of poly with your kids is faulty because you are not sexually involved with them. Do you equate love to be sex and vice versa? What exactly do you derive from being poly?
The truth is, a large percentage of humans like varieties when it comes to sex. Many are just keeping their beasts in check. Unless sex is removed from poly, many will continue to look down on those practicing it as sexually uncontented lots.
How do you mean? I'm curious how me having sex with 2 people at the same time... that I'm in a committed and loving relationship with will be the downfall of society? They said that about gay marriage too.
I love my kids. I love my lovers. It has nothing to do with sex. I can LOVE multiple people is my point. My heart is big enough to love all my children...and it's big enough to love my partners too.
It's nothing to do with sex. I don't have sex with people I'm not in love with. Most poly people feel the same way. Not all, I'm sure, but a lot of us care about how others feel. And that is what this is really about. Loving lots of people.
Sex won't be removed from poly unless those people are asexual and don't want to have sex. People will always look down on what they don't understand or what they're jealous of.
thanks for your perspective. I appreciate it ❤️
