    Anything which goes against ones natural self is considered "unnatural". To say that monogamy as a whole is "not natural", as often stated, would be considered just as false as saying that it is.

    There are many who if we were to attempt casual relations or promiscuity, it would be a "forced practice" and in my case impossible as physical relations (for myself and many others) are in direct proportion to and an expression of love and having built a connection and foundation far surpassing the flesh. No different than the many who feel they have to force themselves to remain faithful to one.

    The flesh is weak and many choose temptation and desires but it should not be condemned or judged so long as it isn't inflicting pain or harm on others. As long as an individual is practicing their choice with all parties involved being aware, then live as you choose to do so and allow others to do the same with the awareness that energies are in fact transferred and absorbed with any exchange.

    Do whatsoever works and speaks to you.

    I wholeheartedly agree. Well said!

    Nope. If I love you I'm not sharing.
    My visceral reaction is always this and it's why I'm attached to monogamy. However, I have no clue if they will change or not down the road when reactance kicks in. Love is a volatile chemical reaction.

    btw Pico, have you ever thought differently and/or do you think you'll ever change?

    jus sayin..

    you always talking s**t lol.

    You aint out here fighting like lions competing for women like simba ? lol. The whole alpha/beta male system only applies when there is one way to compete. Lol

    Some men have ideals that dont fall in line with yours. Doesn't make them any less of a man.

    How do you really feel about monogamy?

    is it your ideal type of relationship and do you think how you feel about it will ever change/or has it already?

    overall its the ordained order, it keeps society in its proper structure. flip the order and you warp society, as we continue to see.

    i dont have the energy to spare or waste doing anything else, i grew out of ? multiple women when i was a teen. even then I knew it was unnatural cause I'd feel nothing beyond what I would feel in doing something like jogging. if nothing else is involved its boring to me, and slightly repulsive, i may as well just workout.

    if ur woman loved u for u she'd love everything about u.. even the other woman..

    it sounds crazy.. but its crazy what the human mind is capable of once freed..
    cause "love" isn't from the heart.. its all in the mind... u do know that right??

    Fam, real love..is in the heart and mind...

    Might sound like some sucker ? ...but when love truly hits you and affects you physically..it's more than just in the mental...that's your heart that's stopping you from eating cause you and yo loved one are going through ? ...e.g.

    Lot of peeps ain't capable of real love and ain't even know it...so I can understand yo point of view.

    I would say 60-70% of love is all in the mind.

    If it was all mental, surely you can switch it on and off as you see fit?

    Why people keep going back to bad relationships then?

    I aint gonna take this off topic, but I already know we on two different wavelengths.

    But ill ask you this. If we all had to live in a self reliant manner In a non fabricated social and economic system....would you still be able to keep your "pride" in line?

    I was thinking about making this a separate topic & poll but ? it I'll put it here since it branches off from monogamy:

    Do any of you guys believe in the concept of 'one true love'?

    I’m of the opinion the 'one true love' from a statistical standpoint is improbable. Simply because virtually any arbitrary measurement you use to select a significant other, there’s multiple people on this planet that meets your standard. Even if you’re narcissistic and view yourself as an one in a million individual, there’s 7000+ people on the planet exactly like you.

    Think about it for a second, even as unique as we think we are as indiviuals, there are people out there similar enough to us that our past, present and future significant others would be attracted to them for the exact same reasons they are to us.

    However I won't knock anyone who believes in it since, there remains a chance that you truly feel that you've found a profound connection with someone that you'll never be able to reach with anyone else. Who am I to judge and say you're lying?

    one could argue that murder is natural....it certainly takes place normally in the animal kingdom....but part of conforming to society is to resit your urge to rage out violently anytime you feel like it...

    and while most people chose to resist that urge, most of us personally know a few folk who chose not to.....some walking the streets, some not

    only difference is violence is punishable by law...which is why we find ? like boxing, and mma, and other forms of controlled violence almost as appealing as we find watching ? like porn......

    something about those extreme urges that peaks our interest.....

    while there are many people argue that monogamy isn't natural it's still a choice.....and people make choices on the most favorable outcome.....people who choose to be monogamous do so because they feel that is the best way to accomplish their desired goals in a relatinoship

    Animals ? other animals for food 90% of the time.

    Animals don't ? for fun.

    They do, just not as often as humans do.

    "One true love"

    My 34 years on the planet and the only love I could explain is the love I have for my kids...

    Love between partners is unexplainable to me.
