segxwal intimacy with one person exclusively; only one mate for your lifetime; a sense of safety and commitment; and the gold standard for all relationships. Monogamy is often a synonym for "it's what everyone should aspire to, we are deviant if we don't, but it's probably going to get dull and boring and snuff the life out of everyone involved. Or someone's going to cheat and then we'll have to end it. YES! Relationships are one of the most juicy, vital things in life, but mostly we struggle with them, become confused, avoid them, wring our hands, or simple settle.
You know the statistics: over 50% of marriages end in divorce, partners who love each other cheat (between 50-80% !), we fight more than we have fun, we often find ourselves in bed with a person we are afraid of or despise, we try to communicate but end up digging ourselves deeper into our painful emotional patterns, we’re smothered with inaccurate portrayals of love, intimacy, sexiness and attractiveness from our beloved media and we swim in a major overuse and over-saturation of porn all bringing with it confusion, self-loathing, desensitization, desperation and lack of intimacy. Relationships are one of the most important things in life, but most of us are grandly unsatisfied and without means to do much about it.
I've been wondering if these different kind of relationships could work, how they would work: what would be the guidelines and things to watch out for?
I'm interested in an open, well-argued and as little biased as possible constructive discussions to come out of this. Oya, Lets go there>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>[/size]
