Are you a fan of Non Monogamous Relationships?

I saw this subject thread on SW this evening. & left a brief comment.

However the subject got me thinking about posting a little bit more on the topic .

Sadly I think its a reflection of the era we are living in. When I was a younger adult . A monogamous relationship was a relationship to be proud of , and certainly the essence was considered to be something worth presevering. Sadly today noone seems to want to take monogamy seriously.

Which ultimately affects the dynamics of any potential one 2 one relationship.

I dont believe in the concept of cheating, because ultimately we have free will & shouldnt try to pretend that we dont.

However more than this I believe in 'Failthfulness' & 'Respecting' the person you are supposed to be committed to . I guess the reality is noone wants to properly commit anymore & its a sad reality..as far as I am concerned.

How can you find commitment with some who steps forward ..then no more ..than a bit.

Might as well lower expectations & throw the towel in .

Goodluck to those who are happily coupled & truly realise the value of 'Exclusivity' 💞

Monogamy is unnatural and a man made concept infused into humanity utilising the vulnerability of humans to love and sex that are natural urge.

The reason why it's losing its value. In fact monogamy has done more harm than good to humanity.

I agree it’s unnatural for men. It’s not unnatural for women, and there lies the problem. @in10RjFox

@Carissimi DNA testing of children has shown that more than a few have different fathers than they thought they did. There are plenty of non monogamous women around...

@in10RjFox Mm, there are actually sound academic arguments for monogamy and non-monogamy.

Carissimi · 70-79, F

I didn’t say there was no non monogamous women. I’m saying in general women are more monogamous throughout history. If they wanted a provider and protector for themselves, and their children. Women don’t need variety like men do. I know women today have been brainwashed into acting like a man, but it’s not the natural state of things. @walabby

@Carissimi women were brainwashed earlier too, to beleive in monogamy and scriptures have played a major role in programming young minds of girls so the belief system gets hard-coded into their minds with which you are asserting that women are more monogamous...

@Carissimi isn't it stupidity to assert free will based on history.. Women were not allowed to have a variety as they will immediately be classified as a whore in their society..

So quoting history here is imo unacceptable. A true democracy will let all vote for their preference through an election/ referendum.. If such an exercise was done in the past, then history can be considered for trait.

@in10RjFox Or how about we keep issues of morality out of government altogether?

@Graylight very important point.. that's what as people we missed out. It's none of government/ media business to mind our private lives. But that's how they made inroads into our lives, since we did not know how to manage our lives, and let hegemony govern is.
