Topic: Monogamy Vs. Polygamy | |
---|---|
Different partnerships work well for different people. Not everyone is built for monogamous relationships. High divorce rates, reports of infidelity, and sexual boredom are reasons I am in opposition to monogamy. Monogamy seems to be outdated, unnatural, and restrictive. People share more companionship,and ongoing sexual variety which are upsides of polygamous relationships. Lying, deceit, and sneaking around which occurs with unfaithful individuals is wholly different from a consensual partnership with more than two individuals and may even relieve stress. I would think most people could be happier if we stopped trying to make one person our everything and learned that our own self worth is more than enough!

Polygamy generally consists of one man and two or more wives. Would that man be okay if each wife had two or more husbands as well? Could be interesting and would be fair..... they'd be just like one big happy family.
To each his/her own, I'll stick to a monogamous relationship... I don't like to and refuse to share my man with another woman. |

I do believe that everyone should choose for themselves, But we look down on others that don't follow the norm. Also I don't ever want to think that I OWN a person or that if you want to spend some time with someone else I'm less in anyway.

To each his on call me old fashion I still believe one partner at a time is the way to go..
Besides I missed the classes on sharing I don't share well with others when it comes to a partner.... |

I don't look down on others for choosing something I'm simply not into. They have a right to choose, as do I. I choose monogamous! |

I don't care what kind of relationship you want to build (short of torturing the unwilling), I just disagree that high divorce rates or infidelity or sexual boredom has anything at all to do with the viability of monogamy. |

Good point, I agree! |

To each their own... but your definitions do not seem to be correct on what you describe.
It would seem that maybe you meant Monogamy vs Polyamory... brief definitions: Technically, polyamory means multiple loves and polygamy means multiple spouses. Polyamory is a form of consensual non-monogamy (CNM) with emotionally intimate relationships among multiple people that can also be sexual and/or romantic partners. In its most common form, polygamy is actually polygyny, in which one man marries multiple women. https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-polyamorists-next-door/201807/what-is-the-difference-between-polyamory-and-polygamy |

A true polygamist would have to be monogamous × however many wives he had.
Ergo, funny word,if he doesn't stray, he's faithful to all his women. |

As long as you are honest about it from the start, and with every partner.
Othewise it equates with cheating, feelings get hurt, bodies get hurt. or worse. It can stir up some pretty murderous thoughts. I'm a laid back sort of bloke. But I clobbered the bloke that got to my first wife. Only once, didn't do him a lot of good. Instant tough nut, just add lies and a cheat. poligomy destablises the family often at the expence of the women and childen. And increases violent confrontations. maybe works for some. as long as no one starts feeling anything. you have to be honest and upfront about it. And people just aren't. |

I like to be fluid. I have a variety of lovers.
They all know my lifestyle. And are cool with it. I don't flaunt it in front of 2 as they wouldn't get a kick and the other 3 like that I live my life this way and that I am being pleasured. I have tried traditional relationships including marriage. Not for me. Too restrictive and not in a fun way ha ha! |

I think it's always been NOgamy for me.... but it's been one hell of a ride!
Too bad my sometimers comes in and messes with.......damn, I forgot what I was going to say... It was really good too! |

ABSURD, to say the least. 'Lying, deceit and Sneaking around'? That's a PREREQUISITE of going to hell, my friend. And I dont think anybody wants that.: Being serious, As you say, we have to make THE one person our everything because we want to be healthy above everything else.If there is no health,...... well do the math. This indicates that our self worth is important. |
