Do you think humans are built to be monogamous? Do you think some people are different? Do you think maybe sexual practices and customs will change in the future?

I think the original intent is monogamous but society pushes and shoves us around so much that sincerity gets devoured.

Can you define what you mean by original intent, and society
I am polyamorous and I like it

society= the pressure to get married and live together.
original intent = to keep and mate with one’s first love.

It just doesn’t matter… I don’t think it’s very relevant

What doesn’t matter… monogamy? Or polyamory?

When did you make that moral shift and can you describe it?
Both… thinking a little bit more about it, I couldn’t be in a relationship with more than 2 people involved. I don’t think society has changed or has gone in the direction of polyamory, and the examples are outliers. Somebody’s gonna get hurt at the end.

Society used to refuse women the right to vote…
(With respect to it’s directionality) I think the past is gnarly

I don’t know what that has to do with the topic, or my comment
Oh, I’m saying that we can’t use the non-existence of polyamory in the past as an indicator because we don’t know how people would freely behave outside the context of bondage and lack of freedom generally that exists in the past. The past is ■■■■■■up.
So maybe in the future more people will opt to explore sexual union in different ways ? Because of newfound freedom?

If it didn’t happen already it won’t be on my time. And if it happens now I will be too old to care or change.

I think it’s possible polyamory is on the rise.
Arthur c Clarke wrote about it a bit.
Speculation leads me to consider a future with more diversity in approach
Traditional religious and fundamental values are on the decline. People question their parents perspective. Why necessarily remain monogamous? I don’t know.
On the flipside
There are real benefits to a partnership. And it only takes two to tango why add a third. Etc.

I think that’s over philosophizing. In reality no one likes his/her partner messing around with other people. Maybe he’s referring to friends with benefits, but that’s a whole different story.

I want to be monogamous.
Too much drama with polygamy and I want intimacy and sacred Union.
Sex you are exchanging n feeling each other energy and i don’t want anyone or heaps having that access to me.
I support people’s right to choose what they want.
I had a boyfriend who wanted to be a swinger.
We had sex on a swing site online.
I was drunk and not myself.
We never did swinging because I didn’t want to.
He might have taken over my email and he was writing to swingers and I wasn’t.
He was using me and was a bad man in to crime.
I want to be in a faithful loving respectful monogamous relationship with my partner.
I do love more than one person but I shouldn’t be having sex with all my besties 
.
I don’t want to .
Vanilla faithful monogamy for me.
In the past I had horrible sexual experiences against my will.
Actually most of the sex I’ve had was horrible.
In my old age and with the right partner who loves me and who I love I can enjoy and love.

Sorry to hear you had bad experiences.
Yeah swinging creeps me out to some extent … at least the meet ups and sites etc. It seems to be too fringe and kind of gross I donno.
Swinging wasn’t exactly my focus with this post
