RE: How Do You Feel About Sex with More Than One Person, Open Relationships, Polygamy, etc?
You really do like controversy! On love: I believe we all have multiple soulmates. And love has less to do with sex than a full blown relationship. Sex with multiple people is easy and can be a lot of fun as long as no one in the party is possessive. (I was active in the late 60's early 70's. what can I say.) But when you start asking everyone to participate in a relationship, it gets complicated.
I can love and lust with two different people, but to expect them to have chemistry together is a long shot. Alcohol and drugs may help.
Monogomy isn't natural and that makes it difficult. Which is why the divorce rate is so high.
Also, society seems to accept a threesome involving two women much more easily than a threesome involving two men. Why is that?
Love is easy. Sex is easy. Tying the two together is what causes more problems than anything else I can think of.
Hehehe... Indeed yes, I feel that there is still too much in the world that is taboo in certain circles, and breaking taboos can only be a good thing. Sexual taboo especially - it is the cause of a lot of sexual abuse.
I often wish I'd been a teenager of the 60s/70s =) ...
Yeah, that's what I was saying... With today's society, true 3-way (or more) relationships require levels of emotional maturity that most people simply can't achieve. I can envision a certain future, kind of utopian, in which everybody is very self-aware, and mature, making these kinds of relationships not only possible, but desirable. (They exist already today but have a hard time of it because of the stigma).
As for threesomes involving two men... I think it's the way boys are raised. Their softer sides aren't encouraged, which includes intimacy with other men. This is one thing I really like about Brazil: Everybody hugs each other in greeting. I tried to hug my friend who came over to visit me a few years back (I didn't even think about it), and he was like "Whoa, what you doing man?" ... lol.
