Why is polyamory getting a big push?

[Anonymous]

NP. I’m poly and say nothing about it to anyone except my own partners and anonymous forums. 1) It’s no one else’s business, and 2) it works fantastically well for me but I would never in a million years presume it could or should work for others.

Polyamory has reached a level of tedium with me and I am officially over talking about it. The fact that it's now in the New York Times and the Atlantic is evidence of what a boring cultural subject it is.

Do what you want, but please don't discuss your sex life with me, and don't expect me to keep tabs on the state of your polyamorous marriage because I am busy and cannot be bothered to check in about whether you are open or closed or dating or what. And no, I am not enthusiastic about you bringing your boyfriend to our barbecue, not because I think polyamory is wrong but because he's... off, and I don't know him and he weirds out the kids. Sorry.

Just announce you're both polyamorous and asexual. It's the best of both worlds. Several bloggers have done this already.

It's a great cover for pedophiles

Are you solo poly?

Polygamy is a lot worse & more potential for abuse than polyamory. Polygamy traditionally conferred a degree of ownership over the women, with very limited options for the women who needed to leave the relationship.

Polyamory is lower stakes and more consensual.

I think so too but women not having legal spousal rights is also a form of abuse. I guess women can get prenup for right to divorce, spousal support, alimony etc. That being said, some partner/partners take advantage of others, no matter its polyamory and polygamy, both are unacceptable to me. That's just not in human nature, someone would be unhappy.

True story: I just found out that a dad of a kid on my son’s sports team is a sex therapist who includes among his clients those into polyamory and kink. It’s all in his professional profile. Should I allow play dates between our kids? I’m leaning towards no. Any other opinions? I wish I were making this story up. Not a troll.

I would say no, unless you're comfortable with your friends parents having girlfriends. I personally am not. Or rather, I don't care but I don't want them telling my kids about it.

I wouldn’t want my child playing with the child of an upright prude like you. He probably feels the same way.

You're talking about clients of a therapist, that doesn't really tell you anything about his life.

These relationships have something like a 90% divorce rate. Will be interesting to see the impact a decade or so down the road, though the percentage of marriages that are open is probably less than 10%.

Part of a coordinated attack on the traditional nuclear family. Expect it to get worse, thanks to the left’s willing accomplices in academia and the media.

It’s amazing how bonkers and silly the world has become.

This.

What if the dad was a psychologist for prisoners, many of whom are likely rapists and murderers? It shouldn’t affect whether your son plays with his kid.
