my polyamory is mostly a natural extension of my bisexuality. monogamy seems absurd because i would have to suppress my bisexuality. if i'm in a straight relationship, i wouldn't be able to fulfill my gayness. if i were in a gay relationship, i wouldn't be able to fulfill my straightness. so monogamy sounds incredibly grim. why should i stop living either life when i could choose both and remain whole?
i don't know why i'm talking about this separately, when the majority of bisexuals are certainly polyamorous, and i'll say this directly: if i ever date, i won't date anyone but another bisexual. so i wouldn't think that after getting into a relationship, polyamory would be a threshold issue.
secondly, in addition to the extension of bisexuality, i think in general about the issue that monogamy feels like ridiculous control and an open relationship really respects the other's sexual self-determination. what right does a person have to control my sex life? or why, on the other hand, should i have to decide on another's sex life?
if my bisexual partner had never had sex with someone of a certain gender, what right would i have to deny her a once-in-a-lifetime experience at the expense of a lifelong monogamous relationship? it's their life. their decision. i don't dictate what they can do. they are their own person with their own preferences.
or let's imagine a situation where the other would like to perform some kind of fetish that i don't want to perform. or if i am sexually unwilling. someone's testicles don't have to be blue because of my lack of sexual desire. in that case, my partner should go fulfill his fantasies with someone else. it's a good thing for both. i don't have to have sex i don't like out of obligation and the other person doesn't have to be sexually deprived.
i wish polyamory would be talked about more because i sincerely believe that the number of divorces would decrease if people recognized in themselves whether they are monogamous or polyamorous. then there would be two different dating pools. dating pool for polyamorous and monogamists separately.
in addition to the right to self-determination and practicality, my polyamory is related to a very simple fact: i'm a massive whore and i enjoy it. my bodycount is greater than the united states army combined.
