In search of your input on my dreadlock "goal"

It just means you don't truly care about any of them.

 

Sure does... I can only love one friend, or family member at a time too

 

i'm personally not a practicer of polygamy, but lots of cultures/societies have practiced it at one point in time and it seems to me that its okay as long as EVERYONE involved is aware of the relationship and consents to be in a polygamous relationship.

that being said, its not cheating. and a lot of people consider it to be like sharing or something...

there are "swingers" in modern US society who are fully accepted in every day life.

it seems only people who MARRY more than one person are bad.

ironic?

 

Not the same thing. Nobody likes ignorance.

 

Nobody likes arrogance either What's so different about it?

 

I'm not sure what your asking lol

 

What makes familial, brotherly, and romantic love so much different from each other that you can have enough love for as many family members and friends as you want, but only for one sexual partner?

 

I guess I can see your point. But if you find someone that you truly love, and feel a connection with sexually, why would you want to seek out and have relationships with other people? I guess some people are never satisfied or have just given up.

Everyone has their own reasons. Variety is the spice of life

As are/have a lot of exclusive couples.

When I was young I thought most important things in life had an absolute right and wrong associated with them (one path to being a good person). In college I thought that "it was all relative man" (infinite paths) Recently I have come to realize that their are multiple pathways with their own validity and it is up to each individual to choose their path, just because I don't vibe with someone's path doesn't mean I can't respect it (as long as people aren't being hurt or coerced).

Humans by nature are not monogamous. Because humans are one of the most infertile species on our planet, it was not uncommon for our ancestors to mate with multiple females to ensure the survival of the human race. Religion, particularly biblical scriptures decided (for lack of a better sentence) that people should have one partner only and be faithful to that one person. There are many people that are able to commit themselves to one person and equally there are many people that cannot commit to one one person as nature intended but who are we to judge if these instincts are still very strong in some people?

 

"cannot"... "instincts"... what about "choose to"?

 

I used cannot and instincts because I had people who cheat on their partners in mind when I was writing that sentence in relation to the church and society trying to force them to have monogamous relationships.

 

Word

 

This, perhaps there are natural instincts that we need to restrain ourselves from doing? For instance; I naturally would love to sit around all day and not study but I don't do it because I know its the wrong thing to do.

 

But some people don't see it as wrong therefore don't need to restrain. I mean maybe they should learn restraint if they want to commit themselves to one person. But as long as the other party is in the know about their partners need to have multiple partners and agree to it, who are they harming?

 

:iagree:

Need? for what? why would two consenting adults need to refrain from doing something that isn't anybodies business but their own? What's so wrong about sleeping around Are you really comparing laziness to sexual morality?... or am I just reading too much into your post?

 

if we're making utterly ridiculous broad sweeping statements then here's my take on the issue;
monogamy is always a lie, as people are incapable of staying faithful to just one person


there is nothing wrong with consenting adults having open relationships so long as there are established rules in place to keep all involved safe as far as sexual health is concerned

 

this thread suddenly got a lot more fun.

 

Wow. This is the first time I have ever been offended on these forums. Wow.

 

I think any type of arrangement by consenting adults is perfectly fine for them. I see no issue at all in polygamy nor in monogamy. I don't give a shit what you do in your bedroom. At all.

Find what makes you happy and live your life.
