Not just "one big orgy": Fighting the stigma of consensual non-monogamy
CBS News ^ | October 24, 2019 | Jessica Kegu, and Jason Silverstein

Posted on 10/25/2019 9:08:12 AM PDT by C19fan

"One big orgy." That's the stereotype about the lifestyle of consensual non-monogamy — an arrangement where committed partners openly agree to have sexual relationships with other people.

But people who have practiced non-monogamy for years say it's not all wild sex — or even all that wild. It takes a lot of work, and it carries a lot of stigma. There can be serious consequences for the family life and even careers of those involved.

"Many people are trying to create families in different kinds of ways. And a lot of people see that as dangerous," Diana Adams, a Brooklyn-based lawyer who represents polyamorous families, says in the CBSN Originals documentary, "Non-monogamy."

She advises clients in non-monogamous relationships to be careful about telling their employers. She's seen some lose their jobs over it.

“I was always brought up to believe that females are instinctively more moral than males”

Lol, NO. Women are just masters of discretion when it comes to sex. They have booty calls and friends with benefits but keep it discrete.

Also look what women wear versus men. Most women, well majority anyway have no problem with gays or gay marriage. I could go on and on.

Did anyone think the Left would stop at gay marriage?

“Hogamus hogamus,man is polygamous; Higamus hogamus, woman’s monogamous.”

More like hypergamous. She won't juggle multiple men, just for variety's sake, but she will dump the current guy if a more desirable guy shows interest.

She'll call it "following my heart".

My position on all this is what ever happens behind closed doors between consenting adults is their business. Just don’t promote you sexual preference in my face and demand I accept it. I’m so sick of Gay parades.

Yes indeed.

Imagine the curriculum that the schools will have during the millennial kingdom period; the children reacting with shock and disgust that people did such things — with a strong warning “this is what happens when people forsake God and His laws.”

she works in the HR dept. She claims to not ‘hunt’ at work and that appears to be true. she uses mostly Tinder and she’s attractive enough to post up at any bar and have guy flock to her.

You can’t tell in her professional attire, but she’s also covered in tattoos... all over her back, stomach, sides, etc. Her back tat is a huge portrait of a geisha girl!

She’s fun to shoot the bull with, can drink and hang with the boys, likes to tell of her escapades (that’s how I know all of this). so they exist....

but... she doesn’t strike me as particularly happy. so not sure it works for her that well...

She’s very attractive... her main squeeze, whom she lives with is a fat, nasty beta male. She routinely bangs other dudes, even in the room in her house she says “is set up for sex with others”. beta boy drops her off at other dudes’ houses for the night too! lol

Yes. A woman gets a Beta to support her and pay the bills, while she bangs more-desirable Alpha males.

Yep that is the usual story.
When she turns about 45, things start to switch and the guys get tired of being used as a door mat.

She now has no real work record, the guys stop calling and she is out of luck with only 2-3 ways out and a short time to do it.


yep, agree that’s how this usually plays out. Like I said, she’s very attractive at 30... slim, well endowed blond with great hair, etc. but I’ve met her mother... and she better get her game together because mom is NOT hot.

Nash was wrong.

Women are hypergamous, and the freedom to indulge hypergamy is very destructive.

Looking for “love” in all the wrong places?

After she wears it out, then what?

Ready to normalize yet another perverse sexual fetish. They won’t be done until the only sexual practice frowned upon is a monogamous marriage between a man and a woman.

When you’re raised to believe that only married women get into heaven, and children of unmarried women will also be unable to get to heaven, and you believe all that crap, what else could you get but a bunch of sister wives, and/or high incidence of young virginal wives?

Um, I’m probably going to get flamed for my thoughts...

I believe it’s the male is was/is a bit more moral. In that once understanding the true sentence of not being moral, he will be/is willing to take the stand.

Women, however, are a relationship/emotion driven species.

This is why they will often kill to protect their young, and AT THE SAME TIME so many are willing to put their own young at risk to have a life with a male.

It truly is part of the Lord’s plan. Hence, His giving the law to the male of the species yet ensuring the continuing propagation of mankind despite the pain endured by the woman during delivery.

That’s why the male had to be driven from the home by the Liberals in this country. The Black Family syndrome (if there is another name, let me know) is where a generation of black women voluntarily threw the black male out of the house for what they perceived as steady care by the Government.

The white race followed, though it took about a decade to get it rolling with them and almost 3 decades for whites in general to accept welfare and no fathers in families.

While there were fathers not providing for their families, over all there were millions who did provide and they still were told to leave the home. Then the male offspring had no leadership within the home and the female offspring had to guidance or protection.

So, yes, I believe it’s the male of the species who are the more moral.

Are there boys/men who want to dip their stick in every honey pot? Sure. I think, though, like in high school, more are not doing it while the ones doing it are getting more action and talking trash even more.

Unfortunately, more and more women feel it’s okay to have bastard offspring (no, I am not talking about incest/abusive sex/rape).

Nothing is in a vacuum.

Traditional moral teachings and social norms attempted to control the socially destructive consequences of this asymmetry by inducing men to discipline their tendency towards promiscuity and commit to a family. The quid pro quo was female chastity, to reassure men that the children they were raising would usually be their own.

What actually happens is the most-desirable 20% or so of males get the bulk of the female attention, while the average male gets hardly any of the action. This results in the average male bailing out of the game.

What keeps civilization going is the idea among men that, IF they study and work hard to become good providers, then they will get a wife of their own who will love them, give them sex, and bear their children.

THIS is what causes men to strive to become somebody who can provide a nice house in the suburbs. Take that away, and men can decide they just need to work enough to provide themselves with a small apartment, game console, pizza and beer.

Civilization then collapses.

Very sad. She is searching for some type of happiness but is doing it in the wrong way. Tatting up and bed flopping will never lead to happiness.

This young woman is broken and isn't doing the right things to get herself on track.
