Open Relationships

[-:Undertaker:-]

can't believe how many people here seemingly being okay with it.... well except for ross

it's well known amongst gays it is pretty common hence the much higher disease rates in that demographic. i'm not surprised at straight men either being for it given their instincts but i'm reallyyyyyy shocked at the girls on here saying they'd be okay with it.

why? to the last bit?

[lemons]

no because there would always be a preference for one over the other

I actually agree with most of your post just not the bit at the end. if someone's not ok with an open relationship then just don't do it IMO!

Same lol. I was thinking "wow I agree with something ross said! I can't believe this- oh" lmfao

Why is it unacceptable for a woman to be interested in polyamory but acceptable for a man? Don't understand that at all.

To be fair to Undertaker, he's not saying it's acceptable for men. He just thinks, in his eyes, women have more "sense" which means they wouldn't want it.

I didn't think he was saying the first bit at all, I'm just interested why he's particularly shocked that like, me and Alicia are OK with it!

Why don't you think the first bit? It seems he expects it from men more so than women because penis (or, less crudely, biology) which I would disagree with personally, but without statistics it's all just meaningless rabble.

Having said that, the first line in his post seems to say something different to the second line.

What I meant was I didn't think he was saying it's OK for men.

All I want to know is why he's particularly shocked that women would be open to it. I don't really see how gender has anything to do with it? I probably know more sexually aggressive women than I do men and don't really think men have such an "instinct" to want to have multiple partners any more than women

I won't put word in his mouth too much longer as I obviously don't actually know, but I assume it's down to biological stereotypes i.e. men want to spread genes (and also has a lot of testosterone which does have scientific links to aggressive behaviour I believe) and women wants to raise the child because maternal feeling.

I just want to be clear I don't personally care what consenting adults do in their own time.

But that would just open up a huge debate about nature over nurture? For fear of sounding too much like a tumblr SJW I'll just say I don't think it's realistic in 2016 to generalise all women as maternal and therefore that they want to stick to one sexual/romantic partner.
