Taboo or not Taboo

This is such a difficult topic as what some of society may consider taboo another society may consider it normal and natural.

Personally I consider that I do not mind any taboo subjects - but i do let my conscience guide me.

My gut is also a pretty good indicator

Obviously polyamory isn't taboo among the Zo'é tribe of Brazil. Yet you will see most other societies fight the very concept as if it were a life or death matter.

I have my own beliefs about life in general. Also something that is being fought about as a life and death matter in most societies.

You see everyone is both right and wrong. Change doesn't care about either. It just is.

Yet today's societies think anything that goes against the basis of their individual beliefs as a taboo subjects.

Polyamory most definitely attacks the basis of most societies values. And they simply refuse to talk about it. Or just say it doesn't work even when confronted with a very real and working example of polyamory that has at minimum been working for hundreds of years.

@OldMan70 no two persons EVER has the same "experiences".

It simply isn't possible! Again that's because of change!

No two people see the exact same colors even if they are close. Now take that into ALL things in life!

Impossible to have the same experiences!

@OldMan70 not certain from where you are coming then. I have nothing against polyamory. In fact I give the Zo'é as a working example.

@DeWayfarer I agree with your sentiments - I have just found that a lady of my acquaintance is into polyamory. I was shocked at first but now think that she deserves all she quests after

@Carpediem1953 just a word of note and because of some real experiences.

Honesty, and complete honest, is key to such a relationships. That's on all parties. Which is why it's hard to maintain such relationships in this monogamous society.

Any dishonesty will be use by society against such relationships. It's what I hate about monogamous relationships because they themselves are dishonest. Yet are the hardest critics of polyamory.

That actually isn't a problem with the Zo'é yet. For everyone is polygamist. How long though is up for speculation. Christians are attempting to invade them even right now with "beads, bobbles and such". Just like native American Indians.
