Are humans supposed to have one mate forever? Sometimes I wonder if we were to remove the current views of society and start fresh if humans would indeed still choose to stay with one mate. If they did indeed make that choice I think one of the only reasons would be because of the feeling of jealously and everything that it causes. Feelings of ( Read more... )

I doubt we'd only have one mate for life. I think maybe we'd have one mate for a few years... but not for too long.

So you think that humans don't by nature want to be with just one person. I tend to agree that the majority of humans, 99% if not more, would be this way.

I really don't think we're "meant" for either one. Nor are we supposed to do it one way or another. We had times when polygomy was the norm and monogomy was frowned upon. And we've had the reverse. And we've had times when we were somewhere between. It's just a matter of what you want. And a lot of the times what you want depends on the person you're with and the time in your life and a whole bunch of other stuff that can definitely change.

I know what I want and expect and I don't think loving someone who cannot give me what I want and expect is reason enough to make do. I wouldn't date a person who wanted polygomy simply because it wouldn't be fair for either people. I think many times people attempt to make impossible situations work through demands or self-sacrifice and that's when the clash occurs. As long as you know what you want and what makes you happy and are up-front about it... all is gravy (tofu gravy:P).

Why these thoughts? Which way do your needs/interests lean?

You know that is the interesting thing...depending on who I am attracted too I think I lean different ways. Usually they lean with being one person and being a complete and total hopeless romantic. However, the relationship I am in right now is pretty darn loose and we really haven't set boundries as far as that goes. I have these thoughts because having a lack of job at the moment I tend to find myself *gasp* thinking about things. To take it one step further I am no struggling with my definition of what is "sexual" and not sexual. Really I have found(at least with me) that that line is not only a very thin one, but it also has more twists and turns than a serpant.
