 Re: Thought Jealousy?
Sexual jealousy is not a rational beast. Its the beast inside.
Its based on a primal instinct to reproduce and protect your genetic legacy.
Men who guarded their wives and chased other men off had more kids that were really their kids. It has no place in rational thought these days with birth control being what it is but the legacy of that is still there.
Our rational minds allow us to overcome this but it can take effort. Really that for me is the best thing about swinging. I've never once, in our entire relationship questioned my wife's commitment to me. I never worried about her cheating, even in thought. Still though I had this primal desire to shield her from other males, which is normally called jealousy but really isn't a proper term for it.
