Re: Polyamourousness (or getting it on with a bunch of people)
More than one person I know is into polyamoury, or having romantic relationships with more than one person at the same time. Being something of a prude (at least as far as I'll ever share with the likes of you, my 3 loyal readers) I have to wonder what the point is. How much sex can one person possibly need? I'm not suggesting that the moment we get settled down with a person (short or long term doesn't matter, the being settled is the key here) we all stop looking, we all know I'm a Big Perv even though I've been with Andrea for over 6 years now. But it does mean (to me) being grown up enough to recognize those impulses and to enjoy the view, then control them and go back home to your partner. I do not think it's okay to have romantic relationships with several people at once.

Why? Morality aside, it would be confusing. I've been on the recieving end of the wrong name (um, no, my name is not Becki, thanks for trying) and it sucked. The human ego is so fragile that there's no way to avoid getting someone hurt. Say what you like about being open but if you're the partner at home while the other is out carousing, it would suck. Because I don't want to be the person left at home, I don't think it's right to be the person out running around.

And that's all I got to say aboot that.
