r/polyamory

every human is like that at the monkey brain level. see hot stranger -> want to fuck them, it's primal instinct.
the thing is, if everyone blindly followed their instincts like that, we would not have civilisation, we would live like monkeys instead. promiscuity leads to all kinds of negative consequences, and most people realize this at some level, but others don't. those others used to simply go along with it due to social pressure and constraints, but as those constraints are getting weaker we see more and more of them revert to behaving like animals.

Well there's a tremendous emphasis now on the idea that your impulses are actually signifiers of your deep, innermost core as a person. There's very little in pop culture to say "you don't have to actually act on your impulses," and lots that says "if you don't act on your impulses, you'll go through life a dissatisfied husk and eventually snap from unfulfilled desires."
 
It seems like some people can't be trained out of being unfaithful or always playing the field. I think those cases would be easier if they just accepted most of the world is monogamous and they are the abnomal ones, and there's a reason monogamy works. Not encouraging polyamory, but saying that they're not compatible with a long term relationship because their great desire is to sleep around.
I knew a woman like this. Her father was an unfaithful dickhead her whole life, and she watched how it just destroyed her Mother being cheated on blatantly for years. When I knew her she was extraordinarily introspective and honest and told anyone who asked that she believed she was like her Dad - didn't think she was cut out for relationships and never wanted to do the kind of harm he had done.

I honestly respected the hell out of her for this because she wasn't fucking with anyone's feelings and she never acted like her way of being was sooooo much better than other people. It was just matter-of-fact, and I have zero qualms with this. She never put down my own monogamous relationship and I never once felt like she was trying to "sell" me on some grand philosophical idea of free love and random sex.

Live your life how you want, but stop telling everyone how much better you are because you don't like relationships or because you fuck a dozen dudes at once. It's kinda how I feel about Trannies - cool bro, wear a dress and call yourself Sally, but I don't want to have to pretend you're a hero for it.

Point is, if there are people out there who truly cannot make monogamy work then I'd much rather they take my friend's route than the r/polyamory route. Do your thing, fine, but don't make everyone clap for you FFS.

Caught up with this friend recently and it turns out she actually is monogamous now. Just very gay. Guess in her case there was a reason she couldn't form those attachments to the men she dated. . .
 
Weird thought: are there people who will always be like this? As in people who can't be satisfied with a monogamous relationship, but want to basically sleep around their entire lives? It seems like some people can't be trained out of being unfaithful or always playing the field. I think those cases would be easier if they just accepted most of the world is monogamous and they are the abnomal ones, and there's a reason monogamy works. Not encouraging polyamory, but saying that they're not compatible with a long term relationship because their great desire is to sleep around.

I think training people to take responsiblity for the consequences of that lifestyle would be much more appropriate. Things like always having birth control or else you're stuck with child support or a responsiblity to NOT sleep around to ensure a child's safety. Not lying to people about wanting to be in a long term relationship and finding others who want short term flings for the rest of their life. Keeping out of serious long term dating spaces. Something like that.

I think most "poly" people do NOT fall into this category from experience and this thread, however. Most seem to fall into the categories of being massively insecure and falling into a manipulative subculture, breaking up with people in the worse way possible by cucking them then replacing them instead of breaking off a relationship and struggling with things like splitting up housing and money (bastards), and people who drank the kool-aid because of ideological reasons. There are too many people who seem addicted to the rush of a new relationship, but I also think those people could be monogamous with massive relationship issues, especially those with borderline personality disorder and those who run into thrills and addiction.

A weird, somewhat off topic deep thought about thots. I'm fine if people disagree.
My ex-boyfriend was like this. (The one I mentioned in my previous posts.) He's in his 50s, married and divorced twice, and obsessed with flirting and sex with as many (younger) women as possible. No exaggeration, this dude would hit on every woman he met, regardless of their relationship status or receptiveness to his advances. Meanwhile I was not allowed to spend time with male friends.

I could tell stories about his weird and inappropriate behavior all day, but I'll just say this: after we broke up (because I'd realized I wasn't poly after all) I mentioned that I felt like he wasn't cut out for monogamy and might be happier living a more free love kind of lifestyle. He responded by calling me a bitch. Two days later, he announced that he wasn't cut out for monogamy after all and was going to pursue a polyamorous lifestyle, and announced his "relationships" with two girls he'd been simping for the whole time we'd dated.

Yes. The most base wants, entirely removed from anything else, impulses and emotions that come and go on their own, are seen as the "real you", and as something to be held in high value.

But recognizing these things, trying to control them, removing them from the highest pedestal, wanting to rule over them with morality, conscious thought, life-lasting effort, knowledge, social structures is seen as merely pretending. Not being entirely consumed by the lowest and loudest form of self is seen as nothing. Even though that's the real shit, that's where our heart and mind really is.

We have to wrangle ourselves, and the wrangler part of us is in no way any less important or real than the tard. I'd say it's more so.

Polyamorists are interesting because their version of the wrangler isn't to keep them in check, it's there to enable the tards. All those books, podcasts, vocabulary and all that supposed civilized culture is there to encourage the shit-flinging and make it look like art. Not only art, but LOVE, which in its highest form agape is absolute selflessness for the good of another. Who looks at polyamory and sees selflessness? Most of us hate lies and pretentiousness, but to make an elaborate system out of it is another fucking thing. Yeah yeah I know, politics, grander scales of deceit, but still.

TLDR; poly is dumb

semi offtopic but kino casino currently has aaron imholte on and he's talking in detail about the wife swapping / open relationship / swinging / polycule he has been involved in with nick rekeita and his wife (with their 5 kids in the house)

unsurprisingly it's a huge shitshow lol
Imagine laying on your back and Imholte is thrusting and grunting above you. Then the next day Rekeita is. One is tragic. Both is horrifying. I rather kill my self.

'tragic' and 'horrifying' are a pretty good description of this whole rekieta debacle.

also here's a youtube version of that stream if anyone want to check it out after missing the live stream:
disclaimer: PPP (the fat guy) and warski (the retard) are annoying, and aaron (the cuck) is a slimy weasel, but if you find poly related trashfires entertaining then this is really worth watching. rekieta didn't win lolcow of the year 2023 for nothing, and with all this recent shit he's looking like a strong contender to take it again in 2024.
screaming matches in the yard, drama, jealousy, emotional abuse, hard drugs, neglected children, gay bars, sex shops, the balldo, this story really has it all.
 
neglected children
I think this is the one red line that mostly every poster here and critic of this degenerate hedonism masquerading as a perfectly normal lifestyle bro, is that the second kids are involved I feel ill. Retards speed running why monogamy works for humanity versus having strangers randomly showing up in houses for sexual activity and/or parents disappearing randomly in the opposite direction. Just sickening.

Absolutely. If you wanna be poly and have all kinds of wacky sexy escapades, knock yourself out, but don't involve kids in that shit.
The only saving grace in most of the poly trainwrecks I personally know of is that most of the people are childfree.

I know a disturbingly large amount that do and I think it's because there's strong correlation between parents naturally gravitating to other other couples that have kids too. All I can hope is that the arrested development sufferers pretending to be adults in this thing wise up/get bored of this shit before the kids really start noticing.

There needs to be research on how the children of these "polycules" turn out. Seeing mommy or daddy go off on a date with someone else has to be traumatic and childhood trauma leads to terrible things later in life.

I'll never forget a conversation I had with an ex of mine whose parents got divorced when he was around nine years old. He said, "I didn't understand that every new guy my mom brought around wasn't my new dad."

I searched /r/polyamory for "kids" and found this rancid illustration of exactly what my ex was talking about. Posted just two days ago:

My ex and I cohabitate and are both poly. We both routinely have different partners and friends over, and our kids (2&6) constantly ask about all of them, and are super excited whenever any of them come over.

I don’t think the structure of the relationship(s) matter, as long as the kids see an abundance of love and respect.

Between changing daycares, changing teachers, friends moving, coming & going, and changing relationships, they’re used to people coming in and out of their lives.

They don’t seem overly attached to anyone in particular (except their mother and I), and they also don’t seem to be holding back from connecting with the various adults that come into their lives.

It doesn’t feel like damage is being done, and they seem more well adjusted than during some of the periods my ex and I were together and they didn’t see the poly side of things.

Edit: though, if they had their way, all of our friends and partners would be here all of the time 😂

EDIT: A glance into the recent post history of the Father of the Year:

"It doesn't feel like damage is being done!" - This degenerate piece of shit who only spends one-on-one time with his TODDLER AND KINDERGARTENER in between emerging from his goon cave and answering the doorbell when his BDSM poly gf arrives.

Most parents know you’re supposed to minimize this shit as much as possible until they’re old enough to cope with it. Being in a normal family and moving a lot can screw a kid up, let alone all of this upheaval he’s discussing.

There was a period of time between being two to four when my parents moved a LOT. We went from an apartment to a house, to my grandparents for a minute, to a different country where we stayed for a while at a hotel before moving to a house, back to my grandparents, to a different apartment (due to getting a promotion in the family and taking advantage of it). Most of this was within a single year.

According to my mom, we went on a vacation after we settled at the new apartment, staying at a hotel, and I asked where we were going to live after we went on vacation. My mom told me she felt horribly guilty that I didn't understand that the apartment was home, we would go back there. I apparently kept asking "Yeah, but after that?"

I think that's why my mom settled into the house they got after that apartment, and is determined to die there.

These kids, at ages six and two, are "used to people coming in and out of their lives." And their gooner father doesn't see any red flags in saying the kids "don't seem overly attached to anyone in particular." *sigh*

they also don’t seem to be holding back from connecting with the various adults that come into their lives.
...and he also doesn't see the potential red flags in this, either. This can be a sign of child molestation, the chances of which escalate when you're allowing horny randos in and out of your house.

My brother in Christ.

Their younger child is two. How do you gage how "well adjusted" a toddler is, especially vs an infant?
 
According to some redditors who CLAIM (could be lying) to be kids of poly parents, it seems like they basically were given no attention by their parents growing up. There's only so many hours in the day and only so much energy in a human body. A million relationships takes up all the parents' spare time.

I genuinely have never felt this way and typically don't care much at all about strangers. It made me think I was asexual for a good portion of my life.
Talked about this with a few other people who have said it's normal and "most people don't want to actually fuck strangers."
Idk
Piggybacking on the post about the chick whose dad was a cheater, it makes me wonder if a lot of this has to do with your genes and your upbringing.

Modern society is weird, something once considered normal and ordinary (not wanting to have sex until you know someone) is now considered somewhat niche ("demisexual") by degens and the same ones try to normalize something as innately unnatural as living with 4 differently overlapping Venn diagram fuck-spouses who are all in therapy.
