RE: How Do You Feel About Sex with More Than One Person, Open Relationships, Polygamy, etc?
Hi @mandelsage great post but perhaps that first image should have a nsfw tag.
Quick note polygamous relationships aren't necessarily the most natural this style is just one way to spread aroung your genes in an attempt to increase the number of offspring.
Monogamous relationships are natures other effort to increase offspring survivability in a polygamous system paternal identity is in much more doubt which reduces male parental investment.
In monogamy with that higher level of parental investment from both parties the offspring had increased support and increased survival odds.
The best solution is the one that has the best offspring survivability given that that vast and overwhelming majority of successful cultures around the world have a monogamy systems we can see which works the best.
That being said I say live and let live, get your freak on
lol... Most verily.
Yes indeed, someone has read their Dawkins! ;P (Actually, I don't remember if he speaks about human relationships - and I've read most of his stuff, lol) ... I know about the evolutionary advantages of monogamy... What I'm wondering about it whether this caused general levels of emotional maturity to narrow down, so that now we're only able to handle being in love with only one person.
And I wonder if in a few hundred years, we'll perhaps develop a society where having up to 4 parents becomes normal. Or something even crazier, with the way science in genetics is going...
