Pairs with Spares
For Polyamorists With a Whole Lotta Love, Three, or More, Is Never a Crowd
Well, in setting my Lexis search up for swinger-related legislation and news articles, I get other forms of alternative in my mail box. Thought it might be of interest to some.
Quote:
Thought: Maybe you can have it all. You just can't get it all from the same person.
It's the thought that illustrates a paradox in polyamory: Its practitioners have astonishing optimism for humans' endless capacity to love, to share, to forgive, to grow, to explore. But that optimism seems rooted in a cynical belief that the monogamous are stuck in a myth, one that leads to cheating, unhappiness or divorce court. They believe, as do some evolutionary biologists, that most humans do not have endless capacity to be faithful to just one person.
There's a vague aura of entitlement to polyamory. The concept that one deserves complete romantic fulfillment seems a decidedly Me Generation concept.
