Why would that be? Hmmmm.....anyone want to help Turq understand this may be indicative of two million years of evolution of the human species? Two million years of tribe after tribe figuring out how humans work and what makes sense? But, geeze, Turq is okay with it, so to hell with any acquired cultural wisdom handed down across the millennia.

And, yeah, as Kali Yuga brings ever darker dynamics into manifestation, we'll find you on the stump glorifying it as natural, advanced, progressive, free......Quote from Turq of the future: "I've got my harem of chimpanzee babes, and it's true love. I love it when they groom me. Ain't nothing like having three hawt Bonobos looking for ticks in my ass crack. " > I have *lived* at times in my life > the lifestyle of polyamory, but without ever having > a name for it and without ever thinking much about > it. It was just what happened naturally. Sounds like the same kind of story a pedophile would tell a ten year old. In no society on Earth can polyamory naturally manifest. It is so non-mainstream that virtually all denizens of any culture will have a ton of dissonance to process if they attempt polyamory. You don't just fall into such an arrangement without incredibly dynamic emotions arising. And, since your dabbling in polyamory ended, your posing as some sort of "experienced about such things" is laughable. GAWD you are such a shallow fuck that you can be an apologist for polyamory and seemingly be unaware of the challenges. Have you ever had an intimate relationship? Don't you know how much time it takes? It takes a lifetime, and polyamory's biggest issue is how the group insures that quality time is managed. Those in a polyamory group may think they love each other equally, but it will take decades to make that an actual reality. All newlyweds think they are in love too, but decades will have to pass and a thousand milestones must be reached before that becomes true. > Just in case you're curious...all I am is curious. > I am not really involved in their polyamory group, > except as an occasional guest to meetings, and don't > have any polyamorous goings-on in my life right now. > Haven't since the 60s, in fact.

You brag about your sleaze; I merely underline how dangerously you flirt with psychological dynamics that actually require asbestos gloves. You think a relationship is a snap when it is the hardest thing a human being can attempt. > > Love is just love.

As usual, we find you making a statement about how something cannot be pegged or bottled or handcuffed by some moralist control freak. It is so transparent when you espouse all manner of licentiousness without responsibility. Rules are for comfort not claustrophobia. Good fences make good neighbors. But you, a non-parent, cannot see that. You're living in fear, dude. Take a stand for something or you'll fall for anything. Edg
