Certainly not all people are wired for monogamy, but to extend that and say that none of us are, or that some of us are only because of simple conditioning, seems like a huge cop-out. A way to reason through your own hang-ups about the path and enshrine your view as 'correct'.

You are speaking about pathological narcissists. People who need multiple partners to mirror they are acceptable. I have lived through this. This is not the case with me at this time. I accept myself as I am. I am usually drawn to women who accept themselves as they are.



My point is that if you end up with a woman that shares your point of view on relationships then you will probably not be satiated. Therein lies your problem.. An open relationship means the person might spend friday night or the weekend with someone else.. Leaving you alone and unloved. She will not be there for you when you need her, she will be there when she needs you. And will you be there when she needs you? Maybe not, you mght want someone else that weekend. It doesnt work.

What does work is the polygamist approach - maybe you can find some women just willing to wait around for you whenever youre ready for them(and you dont have to financially support them). Every mans dream.

Sex is such an intimate, emotional experience. It just doesnt seem like something easily shared

edit: pointlessly harsh as it probably makes your case for you.

I would never argue against that.

Thinking about the future and a woman causing me unhappiness is not what I am talking about. I cause my own unhappiness- not a future relationship. I'm fine not being in a relationship. Life is what it Is.

I am just looking at some accepted beliefs and questioning them. I do not want to attach any moral judgments to them. I think with science we can make arguments for certain positions as being more closely associated with Reality. But this is a social science issue and we are not going to conclusively say one position is better than another position for each individual. I have always thought each of us does the best we can with what we got. Notwithstanding my political trolling I try not to judge others.
