Would polyamory satisfy you?

[Vrecknidj]

Personally, I wouldn't have the energy for it.

It seems that the extra energy for me is best used for other pursuits than running around with multiple people. I could see how a person would do this if they didn't feel like they didn't want a deep connection with a person and/or they don't have other things to focus on.

"I don't see how a person would do this if they didn't feel like they didn't want a deep connection with a person and/or they don't have other things to focus on"

Fuck me silly that is a difficult sentence man.

..you don't see how a person would do this (...be polyamorous)

IF

they didn't feel like they didn't want a deep connection with a person... (ok... I'm getting this part... a person who wants a deep connection might be polyamorous)

and/or they don't have other things to focus on..

what?

You don't see how a person would be polyamorus if they didn't have other things to focus on? Like what? Are you suggesting people are polyamorous in response to being busy?

It just doesn't make sense. I'm not arguing with you. I'm telling you this didn't make sense.

quantity is no substitute for quality, intimacy (in the platonic sense) isn't a group activity indeed the very defining point of an intimate moment is the exclusivity

when it comes to romantic love I don't think that's even something that can be shared, like the title of best friend, to try would just devalue it into irrelevance.

These are not arguments but assertions.

Perhaps polyamory is an orientation. Why are so many people hardline about monogamy? Is it simply societal brainwashing meets personal idealization?

This exactly.

I think jealousy just goes to show how unnatural polyamory is,

because jealousy always occurs in polyamorous relationships.

One is hard enough. More than that? Bah ...

I'm seeing a lot of points like this. I guess people who can't handle relationships very well wouldn't really be candidates for multiple relationships... then again, maybe they would be the perfect candidate...
