Polyamory: Coming to an Orgy near you!

Jan 11, 2006 13:10

Last night, a bunch of polyamorists ganged up on me in one of my current livejournal friend's journal because I guess I didn't agree with their views. This is what I said in response to her poll about Polyamory:
I call it what it is. I view polyamory as just another convenient little word with a hidden meaning -- it's essentially promiscuous ( Read more... )

Hi Niq... were you eating or something when you typed this comment? :p

Your views are actually normal. It just shows that you were raised well. :)

Oh, Julian, good for you. I hate those retarded "poly" people - they act like they'r so enlightened because they've found a partner stupid enough to let them fuck someone else without giving them the boot.

I had a married couple on my friends list for a while who were sort of obnoxious - I can't really explain them... they were like, pro-sex, "everyone is bisexual", vegan weirdos.... one of them painted pictures with her menstrual blood and posted them in her journal. Anyway I saw that they had joined a polyamory community and I was like, this is just too fucking weird. It's not that I mind diversity, but eventually something crosses the line from quirky and becomes "too fucking weird". At least for me.

hahaha. I love this comment. Thank you. You know, I made this post public because I know they're going to see this. Your views and opinions, are not just only mainstream but that it makes perfect sense. It has nothing to do with being conservative or frigid or prudish.

Seems like that poly person on your friends list was extra weird. Painting with menstrual blood? That's just sick.

I don't know what the fuck their problem is. Obviously they were offended by my views but see, they shouldn't be taking my comments too seriously. They don't even know me. I think maybe it's a guilt complex thing. They feel guilty because deep down they know what they are doing is wrong.

I like that usericon!

Oh... there you are! :) I've been meaning to respond to you but you keep deleting your comments.

I have no problem with a friendly disagreement. I appreciate your letting me know.

And just so you know, my original comment was really just for you. I had no idea that others would get peeved. I really don't worry about things like that.

Polyamorists... LOL. It's all fun and games until someone accidently gets knocked up by the wrong person.

God. Is that to say monogomists don't accidently get knocked up, by the person they're CHEATING WITH??

Sorry, all these one-sided comments are starting to get to me, and I'm not even poly.

Re: Utah: The OTHER hillbilly. dreama January 12 2006, 23:57:20 UTC

I don't believe I said that.

Also. . I'd like to clarify that I completely see your point. I do not think polyamory is a *good idea*, and I have found it to be very difficult to uphold personally, though my partner and I go back and forth on the concept all the time. Logically, it makes sense to me and seems the most likely avenue for me considering my attitude toward sex, etc. Unfortunately my jealousy just can't handle it.

My only point to you here is that I believe it CAN work for some, and does, and to see this whole community of responses referring to polyamorists is "retarded", "sick", "stupid", etc., saddens me. I understand it is merely your opinion, but I'm suprised to see such a close-minded attitude coming from you specifically. Just letting you know what I'm getting at.
