    I've been questioning monogamy. I feel an attraction to more than one person so why tie myself to one? But at the same time people need someone for the long run of there life.

    New scientific studies suggest that if a woman has multiple sexual partners, this will lower her levels of oxytocin which in turn will damage her ability to bond. Oxytocin is a neuro-peptide most commonly associated with pregnancy and breast-feeding. It seems to act as a human "superglue," helping a mother bond with her infant. It is also released during sexual arousal and there, too, seems to work as a "superglue."

    I'm naturally monogamous. When I love someone, I don't even notice anyone else. It'd be nice to find someone else like that.

    In my opinion, the best sex is monogamous sex. Being totally committed to one person and having the same commitment in return is the framework for total openness. I couldn't live any other way.

    I hear ya... I just don't think I can make it another 2 years... And that would b a shame because we really do get along pretty well and I would hate to lose my friend . I guess I'm still trying to figure out how everyone can remain unaffected by the change I feel coming

    I understand that, for me it's been 21/2 years and although I love her I just need physical stimulation beyond having to ********** on webcam or something

    I know one thing, be honest! So many people lie about monogamy and have no intentions of one partner.

    Yes being dishonest is def the toxic part , I have a bf who used to b able but now is unable to perform. I Have not "had any" in almost 2 years and he says he would b okay if I had my needs met elsewhere but I can't really bring myself to c how there would b a good outcome in that since woman are very emotionally vulnerable through intimacy

    Just a thought, maybe if your partner was involved with your needs? And maybe you could open your boundaries? May spark your current partner?

    I'm currently in the first monogamous relationship in my life, whereas I've always been poly, and there are advantages and disadvantages to both.
    I'm a very non-attaching person, I don't easily commit, so poly worked well for me because it obliged the others to limit their clinginess as well. It's true however that in a poly relationship there is always a hint of suspicion, especially when you aren't full-blown poly. If all the people involved are involved with each other it's different, but if that's not the case... not all people can deal with possible jealousy equally well.

    In a way, monogamy is a gift. Foremost you have to consider yourself worthy enough to "be enough" for a man/woman, and then you also choose to devote all your attention to one person. That puts you in a very vulnerable position, and it's very important that your partner doesn't take your monogamy for granted.

    Monogamy is a great social construct it lets two people provide complete near-constant support and love to each other.

    Heres a great vid on that

    I think if you dont want to be monogamous then you havent found the right person yet. I cant imagine enjoying sleeping with anyone other than my wife anywhere near as much

    Sex freedom means making a free choice, I see no freedom when a person has only one choice. I say this because for many people monogamy implies exclusive sex. I believe in sex freedom
