I couldn't agree more. For me it's really more about romantic friendship, more than sex. And it's much easier, in my experience, than trying to shoehorn yourself and your partner into something that just feels unnatural. Why bother..
I don’t know why this popped up on my Partiko feed , but I’m glad it did. So many excellent points here.
When you expect just one person to fulfill all your needs - emotional, sexual, financial and others - in most cases you'll find yourself disappointed over time.
This is so true, and I think we need to upgrade our cultural ideas so we have more freedom, work on emotional intelligence and open communication. Polyamory offers much for us to learn from on a myriad of levels.
I completely agree. But most women get extremely offended when I bring this subject up. I truly think that monogamy is a religious propaganda that somehow became the norm.
Religion loves means of controlling people and minimizing their social intimate relationships. But monogamy was there first. Some religions still allow it in the form of polygamy. Which is basically sexist polyamory.
I myself have a lot of love to give. True Love, not that contrived "lust at first sight" shite.
Anyway, it's hard for me to see myself with just one True Divine Feminine and i intend to love them Deeply and Compassionately as they would for me.
Without going crazy with details i do agree mostly with the author of this article. It doesn't mean you couldn't be with just one lover, however marriage was and generally still is in some ways, used for control. (Arranged/Forced marriages)
Plus, who said you needed to be married anyway? Many must give real introspect on what love really is.
Thank's for this article, @techslut I was hoping there would be some poly-wise souls in the steem-room ! I started exploring Polyamory in 2008 as a concept/idea was ready to take the step but fell over, actually back in step with social expectations. the threesomes and multiple sex partners aspect interests alot of people but I had those experiences with out polyamory. The experiences are memorable but not half as an experience I have had with authentic free loving souls. What draws me is the honesty and integrity required to truely experience elevating Polyamory, for me it means the time & patience required for a quality of intimacy trust often equates to there is no room for others in the intial stages of establishing a Polyamory relationship between 2 nubes. The best things is the freedom it gives an individual to negotiate relationship & percieve ways of loving often compartmentalised & restricted by societal influence. Be LOVE Anarchist !!! Namaste Ninjaz :)

Rant away! I think I kinda merged marriage and monogamy in this post. So much for drinking and writing... :P
