you think so?
quite a pleasure centred view. Animal like. I dunno, guess its case of philosophies.
On one hand I dont think sex is a bad thingand the over zealousness by say religion in the past has messed people up when it comes to sex but then again, 5000 people? Double decades before your even 20??
not sure if I can get on board with that, it just seems...empty, disresepectful, not necessary.
I dont know really.
if multiple, many multiple partners is considered normal, not even normal but expected then that could influence people and thier behaviour.
I mean teen pregnancies and STD rates through the roof.
I know we are saying doing sex safely, but do you think people that do have so many patners always do it safe and always know the score with the other person and no1 ever gets hurt?
Well people I know who have lead alternative lifestyles have been very cautious about safe sex.
There's a difference between polyamoury and sleeping around, you are still commited to people, there are strict rules to abide by.
I don't see how it would 'influence' behaviour at all. Of course some partners may not have safe sex, of course sometimes people get hurt... But that's life and that's relationships.
To be honest I think that polyamoury is more natural than monogomy, but that's just my opinion.
Well thats your decision about sex, not everyone always feels that way about things. Sometimes people are happy just to have sex for pleasure with somebody once, and leave it at that. I don't feel the need to form emotional attachments to guys that I pull randomly. If its fuck buddies just for sex then emotional attachment can be more of a problem, but with one nighters I don't think anyone is under the illusion that they are going to be the love of someones life.
Live and let live. There are people in the world that deserve your condemnation, people that enjoy a lot of sex are not deserving.
I also think its right in no matter what area or issue to ask questions, rather then just nod benially in acceptance.
I agree. So I assume you understand the concept of me replying to posts.
not a comdenation of individuals.
(And I'm not being arsey with you in case you think that, I'm all for hearing other people's views)
its like your smiling at me and pissed at me at the same time lol.
if someone wants to sleep with as many people as possible, its their perogative, whether thats a right thing to do.. I am not sure yet.
But I'll make my opinion known.
There is no wrong when it comes to people having harmless pleasure.
People are made to feel guilty about it through religion and society.
Yes there are exceptions when sex isn't right and that's about respect.
Anyway, end of, my opinion sticks and I've already dragged it out!
nowt wrong in letting ur opinion be known.
I do agree with you actually on what you said, but I am just not ready to sign off and say sleeping with as many people as you can is an ok thin gto do.
just my opinion, it may change, it may not.
Don't think you are very good at understanding my tone of writing. I sensed you thought I may be being arsey so every post since I have tried to tell you that is not the case at all and it still isn't!
Boom boom.
hahaha sorry.
Though tyou was pissed off in that last one. Ok you wans't pissed off? cool, dont get pissed off now lol Joke!
Aye, sometimes people dont get my tone either.
glad ur not sarsey with me. I saw your pic and your too pretty a girl for me to want you angry at me lol.
Polyamoury is not about sleeping with as many people as you can though, you just happen to have more than one romantic partner.
oh and I wasn't on about Polyamory specifically, just sex in general.
They (we) are trying to reclaim that word as a word of positivity
I was about to say the same thing. IMO it is well written, and tried to get the reader to understand what's going in people's heads.
I would also recommend listening to the Polyamory Weekly Podcast. Maybe not every episode, but the ones you are interested in.
I think that this diagram illustrates poly (as well as other related subjects) relatively well, despite somewhat crude approach.
Somebody else here said it's about loving relationship between more than two people. I hate to use the phrase 'friend with benefits' to describe my secondary partners, because they are so much more.
If the OP wants to discuss these things in person with somebody, I'd recommend checking out if your town / largest nearby town hosts poly-munches or meet-ups.
EDIT: forgot to say, regular STI tests and using protection is a very important. Even within groups who practice polyfidelity.
