    All for it! You will never love someone 100% (even if you say you do) you can accept them 100% but not love everything about them. You may want 80% of what they have but you go looking for that 20% in someone else. It's a choice to be happy with the 80% becuase it's sooooo much better than the 20% the other can give you.

    A choice. Not for everyone, but for some. Something that's often reinforced by religion. There's no right way to do it.

    I would prefer a monogamish marriage. Someone who was my main partner and shared an emotional bond with me. But we would also enjoy different partners together and individually. Lots of communication and complete honesty and respect.

    But I also have a lot of respect for poly couples. The ones I have known are so close and have really bettered themselves by being able to understand their insecurities through dealing with jealousy. Mad props.

    best answer ever!!

    its necessary to create a non-chaotic society. its also possible, but not easy.

    The polygamous and polygynous societies would disagree with you.

    It can be difficult...I love my wife tons and I wouldn't want that relationship with anyone else...but chicks are hot and sexy and tend to be very bangable. That said, I just use my imagination a lot.

    Myself I think it depends on the person.
    Before with others I often found myself thinking "gah this so old fashioned and not fun" because some need wasn't being fullfilled. Either emotionally or physically.

    Now that I have a loved one that leaves me pretty fullflled, the thought of somebody else really kind of grosses me out.

    I believe in just one God. I know there are a lot of vikings and druids. So if you are pologamy that is fine, but I think most of the people are mostly just christian. I'm not sure I could deal with having a bible for every god, it must be exhausting.

    I believe you're thinking of the term monotheistic. lol

    For me, personally, easy----but only because I found the right partner. If it's not the right partner, it's not gonna work.

    That's just me, and I'd only be with someone who felt the same way. But if any other people are into swinging or whatever, y'all have fun! Whatever works for you!

    not a huge fan, cause I like freedom and choices, but I love my man, and no one compares to him anyway...so before we became exclusive I would just be disappointed and miss him anyway. So, while he isn't around as much as I want and need, I don't want anyone else anyway. I just accept that and its fine.

    I find it easy. I think it would be hard to have more than one partner. I like to give my whole self and put everything I've got into a relationship and wear my heart on my sleeve. My SO doesn't have to be the same in putting their emotions out there 100 percent of the time, but I do expect 100 percent commitment. Three and a half years says it's working fine for me so far! :)

    Some people say it's hard, but I think that's a good quality.

    It's a learned moral value, but I don't think we're wired this way no?

    She took what I was thinking and said it a thousand times better than I could so I am just gonna sit in my corner and nod in agreement with all of this.
