Ok. The thing is, being monogamous doesn't mean that you're serious with your partner. This applies with the partners of polyamorous people to some extent (at the very least, it applies to some people who identify as polyamorous; poly people may differ as to whether a casual sexual...

Good point. To answer your question, I think we should look at the definition of monogamy. I took wikipedia's introduction to the term: "(monos+gamos) - one+marriage/ a form of marriage in which an individual has only one spouse at any one time.[1] In current usage monogamy often refers to...

Response to Post #35, Part 2 (last part) I covered this issue in post #34. The excerpt below is from an article from liberator.net, titled Legalized Prostitution - Regulating the Oldest Profession: *********************** Benefits of Legalization Currently most everywhere in the United...

Response to post #35, Part 1 Dividing my response up, as it was too large to fit in a single post... Many prostitutes, or SPs (Service Providers) don't feel the same way. I think the following article from a former SP makes some very good points concerning sex work...

The opening song to the Spice and Wolf anime... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MN_WgwEmRaw

Alright. So what do you think of the passage that I just re-quoted from it? I agree with that, but you cut that quote off mid sentence. The rest of it went: "you need money (or commodities) in order to survive and work has to be done to get them." I agree that not everyone who wants to be a...

Alright. Ok. Ok. Fair enough.

I'm glad some people agree with me on that :-) I agree. This is what I was headed towards when I talked that the main issue is defining love. How you define it can change how we think of many things. I define it as caring for someone, but I care for many people.. so then it becomes how much...

Did you read the article excerpted from and linked to in the OP of the thread? I'll quote the last excerpt in it, as it provides the very evidence you claim you've never heard of: ******************* Page 414 (Conclusion): Commerce is but a manifestation of the more general exchanges that occur...

Found it (post 40): Sex Negative adj : a person with the belief that sexuality in general dirty or distasteful to including their own sexuality I decided to watch the first video in its entirety to see what sources of information he brings up. In the first video, he only mentions the research...

I think the real issue here is our concept of money. In an ideal world, all people would aquire money in the same fashion; through honest work. However, this simply isn't the case. -Some- people get it from honest work, but bankers create it out of thin air; where's the fairness of that? Because...

I loved the Lord of the Rings movies and books as well. Also liked The Crow, Pirates of the Carribean, Indiana Jones (my favourite was Raiders of the Lost Arc), and Star Wars (favourite was Revenge of the Sith). I gotta see some of those Underworld movies, they look good. Haven't seen the rest...

He presents evidence, which I have presented to you as well... Could you not summarize this alleged counter-argument? I just don't want to hear any more of the gruesome acts some cultures now pass off as "normal". To reiterate, Sex at Dawn doesn't argue that these acts are now considered...

Could you or someone else link to that thread? Would like to take a look at the definition myself. Interesting points. Since I haven't yet seen the sex negative definition on here, I will for now assume that you are correct in your understanding of its definition here. I recognize that you...

Sex at Dawn mentions that too. Anyway, what I think is awesome is the idea that humanity's nature is so polyamorous by nature that our genes actually evolved ways of dealing with this fact, laugh :-p. Apparently we're the only primate (or any other animal for that matter) that has a "scooper". I...

I watched Elfen Lied recently. The opening song just stuck in my head so long, laugh :-). It was awesome but just so sad sometimes. I love Studio Gibli for sure. I saw part or all of the first episode of Fullmetal Alchemist. Was ok but I wasn't really feeling it. Right now, I'm watching Ergo...

I thought I'd mention that I've actually brought this subject up in a forum that caters to sex workers and their clients. I actually made a poll asking whether people thought there was crossover. Here's the results so far: 1- Yes, there is some crossover between all 3 categories: 12 / 40.00%...

I liked it, posted it on my Facebook status as well :-).

I liked it, thanks.

I'm actually of two views concerning this. On the one hand, I agree 100% and have used this argument to say that most people are polyamorous, in that they love multiple members of their family at the same time, just not sexually. On the other hand, when describing polyamory to beginners, I tend...
