What are your thoughts on polyamory? Is it just cope? Is it a way of safely getting casual sex? Why do people do it?
What are your thoughts on polyamory? Is it just cope? Is it a way of safely getting casual sex? Why do people do it?
i respect them but ppl are either mono or poly and u can't change that and poly people should ONLY ever be with other poly ppl imo
i personally am disgusted by them but try not 2 let that cloud my judgement
>What are your thoughts on polyamory?
It's cringe and I hope their practitioners get the bug soon.
I can't do monogamy, i have 3 gf, two of them have 3 gr too and one of them has 2, i love all of them
I don't really get it and all my poly friends are in miserable relationships but I don't think it's inherently bad or anything.
It's something that can only be done by a small sub-sect of the population, which is quickly becoming more and more commonplace among the standard normie circles.
[[It's a theyfab product.]]
It stands to do lasting damage to the individual ethical threshold of those who are not designed for it.
For those who are designed for it, no impact.
Who is it designed for?
My gf forced meet into it and it was miserable, then she trooned out
/Thread
Poly relationships are designed for individuals that stand to operate on a lower-ego basis.
They function well with people that naturally operate on a less ego-driven function, or have a lower capacity for that sort of activity.
For others that operate an any sort of ego-basis that goes "beyond" what happy poly-relationship-goers experience...
[[A]]...Using myself as an example: Highly ego-driven. Suffering psychedelic ego death nearly destroyed my life. Soon after this, I was involved in a poly relationship, and I realize that I would rather be cheated on in secret.
[[B]]...Reason being, I am driven by struggle. I was created to embrace the sensation of clawing my way towards the sun, and the sky - at all costs.
[[C]]...The complex systems of Identification, Struggle and Obtainment [[ISO]] are at play in all forms of life.
[[D]]...Nothing in love is given unconditionally. Unconditionality exists as a boolean value in all forms of life. The idea of polyamorous, unconditional love is rendered impossible versus ISO.
...There is almost no way to discern whether or not you fit. One of the most poisonous aspects of polyamory is the fact that you are almost always required to experience it and be hurt by it, in order to truly discern whether or not you can co-exist within one.
...Within this, the capacity for a Transfemme to become locked into something that they feel as if they require it to live, is extremely HIGH. And with all addiction, and all internal malignancy of the Individual System [Yourself] - it requires active resistance to treat.
...One must understand Point D, above - [[ISO]] is incompatible with polyamory purely on the basis that it seeks to provide more tangible love for no struggle to a group of individuals. Those that exist outside of ISO in this format are not privy to Order itself.
...Things have value. It is important to preserve that value. Don't get caught up.
Hate to say but i agree with it
I never felt overly attached or jealous, never got what is the big deal in cheating if not for DSTs and usually i just wanna fuck and date other people too, i used to think people were stupid for holding themselves to be monogamous cause i didn't understand the preference for avoiding losing your partner or feeling jealous over having to be with other people was pretty emotionally based and didn't have a "objective" better option, i do notice however that i tend to bond with the people i fuck while the majority of people poly people i see seem to be poly for not bonding at all so it is basically just casual sex, anyway see people who are obviously happier monogamous trying to be poly out of despair or for a partner is cringe
These ideas are interesting but maybe a bit too complex for me. Do you have any books I can read on the subject?
Conceptually I don't see a problem with it as long as it is with consenting adults. In reality I don't think I know of any examples that have ever worked out or not been plagued with drama and psychological problems. Rather than brushing that off as anecdotal, lets be honest that these things aren't going to be studied systematically. What we can say is that cultural influences certainly don't support it and other societal pressures will create friction. Some stabilizing factors could exist like every participant having a lot of fuck you money and social mobility. Without that you're bound to create a lot of tensions that need to be attended to constantly until the differences are resolved.
Its a vehicle for the normalization of cults. Hierarchies will always form because humans are humans
Why is it being pushed? Whos paying for the media exposure? Why are humans like sheep?
Wait how is it related to cults? This makes it sound so much cooler because I love cults
Kek, seriously all you need is non monogamy and people think of cults, crazy
I am having an EXTREMELY potent de ja vu right now for some reason
cucks
Well in that case I support polyamory, I'll let the world burn with polyamory while my cult grows, and then take over and ban polyamory
It's a natural state and people that are disgusted by it are coping they can't keep a partner for a long period of time.
It was the first form of human partnership and is still extremely common in monogamous couples, just it's now called "cheating."
Those who deny this fact are just coping.
Monogamous couples practice polyamory all the time, it's just called cheating, saying it's a vehicle for normalization of cults would require you agree that almost every human is in a cult.
ditto, i am currently in a poly relationship (and, after years of wanting to kms and being miserable am finally happy), but i think somehow what you are saying is correct? I just am not sure i understand all the way.
my questions are as follows:
-what quanitifies being ego-driven or operating on a lower-ego basis?
-can you just broadly elaborate more on ISO? I am not sure i understand
>[[ISO]] is incompatible with polyamory purely on the basis that it seeks to provide more tangible love for no struggle to a group of individuals
i just dont understand this part?
i would love to hear more, getting to the point where i am as a bpd tgirl was really really really really really arduous and i am wondering if i should have avoided all that pain in getting where i am now
i dont particularly care about it, i could not be fucked to manage more than 1 relationship at a time and idk what all the fuss is from both ends
