Whatever it is that you subscribe to is normal..... If you prefer monogamy over open then go forth with that... No one is your keeper, and vice versa - Posted from rhpmobile

I think monogamy is assumed by many to be the norm. I don't know if that makes it normal. - Posted from rhpmobile

I have a husband and a BF ;) This is very new to us (three) and there are no societal rules or guidelines around this and we're feeling our way through (so to speak) ... Is it what society accepts as 'normal', absolutely not! We still haven't legalized gay marriage and we've been fighting that for a lot longer. It'll be a very long time before poly relationships are legalized or even recognized as 'legitimate'. For all intents and purposes 'society' accepts heterosexual relationships as 'normal', anything beyond that is too grey and fraught with a great distrust :( As Stirry has said, we subscribe to poly and it's our normal. Unfortunately, very few people understand it and I feel like I'm living two lives because I'm not open about being poly to everyone, as I would like. Too many people are ignorant to relationships that challenge the 'norm' so for the time being, I'm private about it :) Mary xx

...this question is like asking a bunch of vegetarians if eating meat is "normal" or not.☺

@Koolgrey No, I don't believe it's normal, at least the definition of that can be argued, but I don't believe it's realistic, but for me now, not wanted or needed, the opposite turns me on. I wouldn't ever want to be monogamous or want a partner to be

Societies values and beliefs, at a period in time, dictate what is normal and what is not. Hundreds of years ago it was normal, and acceptable, to marry a 13 year old. Today it is not. Perhaps tomorrow, monogamy will no longer be seen to be the accepted norm? As societies values and beliefs change, so will the norms. - Posted from rhpmobile

I don't know all the meanings of the poly terms but re hotwives, that's a perfect situation, what an amazing way to enjoy yourself sexually without being restrained by a partner, it takes it to a whole other level that can be hard for people to understand who haven't embraced it and let go of traditional ideas and jealousies. Once let go, it's a major turn on, and seems to intensify with time, has the potential to maintain an amazing sex life with your no.1 partner, so long as they're turned on by it as much as you are

Some people are happier with many partners and some people are perfectly happy with one. I wouldnt say theres any normal status in relationships.

I had this discussion the other day with 3 divorced females. When I asked if monogamy is possible one of them replied "yes - for a period of time". When we discussed this further we all kind of agreed that you can do it for say, 8-10yrs. Of course this is not an exact time frame and may vary from couple to couple and person to person. Is this why monogamy may fail in marriages after 8-10yrs? Just a thought. - Posted from rhpmobile

Have a look at the other great apes. Mostly not monogamous, but monogamy reduces societal conflict. IMO. - Posted from rhpmobile

The norm is cross dressing isn't it? But not many of you partake. And i see that most people in here aren't monogamous. Draw your own conclusions. At least I'm normal. Cant say the same for all you fuckers and weirdos.......

Usual. Common. Expected. Normal for some. A pain in the butt for others.

Quoting 'Ghost71' Have a look at the other great apes. Mostly not monogamous, but monogamy reduces societal conflict. IMO. - Posted from rhpmobile reduce societal conflict how? and what does society have to do with your marriage? Actually, that's a tricky one, society has a lot to answer for If it weren't for society old fashioned attitudes, I'd be walking around with a young stud on my arm, in full view of the public actually have done a few times, bonus is I can fly under the radar and pass as their mother, so long as I behave myself that is But what kind of societal conflict do you mean? Do you mean like everyone on here losing their shit over the whole 'cheating' thing, I guess that's society isn't it? Well I'm happy not to be part of society aha not sure where I fit in, just happy flying solo

Quoting 'Chocolatecock72' Dictates through its teachings that it's normal. This doesn't mean it is. These are the same corporations that apparently think child molestation is 'normal' through lies n cover ups, and close ranks around the vermin that hides within. We as a western society are bombed daily by religious and political ideals. As a previous poster mentioned gay marriage, and the fact that politicians and their cashed up religious mates can have any say on who can marry whom and how many partners we can legally have just keeps this country in the dark ages. To your question OP personally I don't think it's normal, only because society says it is. Rant over - Posted from rhpmobile don't get me started on gay marriage and politicians. I commented in another topic a while ago about how I don't have a tv and never watch news reports, for better or worse, the world could be coming to an end, and I wouldn't know, but I heard a news report while in a shop one day, and for the first time, heard the talk about gay marriage and how the government/politicians whatever, I can't remember exactly what I heard, but something about how wrong it was and couldn't be legalised blah blah, I was so offended and angry, and shocked to be honest. I was absolutely gobsmacked. I think I've removed myself so far from mainstream society that I forget how backward and old fashioned people are in the real world. wtf why would they care who marries who? I'm shaking my head even now, I don't get that. I actually feel sorry for them. And you have to wonder, how many of them go to strip clubs and fuck around behind the scenes, under the radar, with a dirty double life, probably with other men, then come out to lecture the public about how wrong it is?? It just makes me angry. Who are they to say who can marry who, what the fuck's it got to do with them Oops, sorry off topic

as many here have already mentioned, it's the social norm. But I believe that most of us, instinctually feel that it's not.

Hello :) I really don't think there is a normal... everyone fits on a sexuality- asexuality scale and dependent upon this would be how suited you are to monogamous.... I'd classify myself as panromantic demisexual so for the most part I am pretty much monogamous... however I don't think a hypersexual person could be... just my opinion. Xx Miss L.ed.

Quote .... It's the social norm , but I believe for most of us instinctually feels it's not ... If monogamy is normal , there's no real need to question it... But we do... So therein lays the answer..

I am always conflicted on this subject. I know i should be monogamous as i feel it is the norm but for me i feel normal when i see more than one. I am trying to change but it is damn hard. Some people understand this feeling but never speak openly about it. Cheers

I don't believe you SHOULD change for anyone but yourself. Maybe she is the one who needs to be more open-minded and change. Always do what makes YOU happy 😀 - Posted from rhpmobile
