Is it normal to support polyamory?

61% Normal
12 Comments

I support polyamory, loving more than one person at a time, as long as it is completely consensual from all parties and everyone is treated equally. I feel like I am totally capable of loving two people equally and I wouldn't be jealous if they had two or more people in their lives too. Not even for the sexual aspect, but just to be committed to them and hold out relationships with them.

Is this a normal thing to support/want?
Or am I being a pig?

    Yes as long as no one is getting hurt.

    "I feel like I am totally capable of loving two people equally"

    This is actually a lot harder than you think although you may treat said people the same you will not feel the same your heart will be fonder of one over the other(s).

      I agree. Even people growing up in such societies have trouble.

    I don't want to disagree with you because frankly if everyone is consenting then what's the problem? A lot of people love a lot of people throughout their lives, why not love all those people and include them in your life. Personally, the only reason that I am annoyed by polygamy is out of jealousy, but that doesn't mean that I'm against consenting adults living their life the way they want. I don't think you're being a pig at all by the way, just don't go around cheating on your partner.

    I doubt I could be in a polyamorous relationship but I have absolutely no issue with people for whom that is a possibility or reality :)

    Not my cup of tea AT ALL. But whatever makes you happy. As long as they're happy with it too.

    Completely. I see so many relationships become simply neurotic with jealousy. It makes me sad to observe my friend and his relationship with his fiance that's on the rocks.

    Case in point she made a "Face down, ass up" joke about her workplace on facebook. She works as a care attendant at a nursing home. When you wipe people you have to wipe front to back, hence the joke. I got it immediately. He stormed out of my apartment and proceeded to stand outside and scream at her on the phone for 20 minutes.

    People think that being jealous means "Oh they really love meee!" No, jealousy is born out of selfish desires and not the desire to see your lover happy. It all seems kind of insane to me.... I'm not trying to knock anyone's opinions here but I just don't understand that controlling, paranoid aspect of relationships at all.

    Better to just relate to people on an individual basis rather than making up these lists of arbitrary rules on what interactions are suitable and which are not.

    Absolutely. It's not doing anyone any harm and some people are easily able to have relationships like this.

    yes. I think you'll like this bit of Penn and Teller, talking about traditional family values.
