Monogamish.....

 He says.....

Two years of bumbling around in Blog Land, debating issues of sexual freedom and equality, preaching the gospel of passion and shouting out the principle of loving somebody so much that you set them free.... then along comes just about the most insightful but succint paragraph of a blog I've ever read, written by a most remarkable person in an awesome blog that Mrs Rocker follows called From Near The Moon. You can read it here. A post from 17 April (see it here) so brilliant that it woke me from my blogging slumber. I love it all the more because it's a non-conventional view expressed by a non-conventional woman...

…...“My friend hit the nail square on the head when she said “in order to grow, you have to change all the time…. while monogamy and procreation require stability and sameness”.  In order for relationships to last do we not sacrifice our own growth as humans, isn’t that too high a price to pay?  Unless you are with someone that thinks about it the same way as you do and you allow each other the freedom to grow and change without judgment or resentment and total acceptance at some point you grow apart, you change and things are not the same.  But we have been programmed to believe, to want a single person to “belong” to us for the rest of our lives.  We buy into the white picket fence theory.  Marriage is a man made institution in my opinion.  The expectation and iron cast commitment that comes with that is a heavy burden to carry.  It doesn’t leave room for growth, for change, for any kind of personal freedom.  It requires a conformity, sacrifice and a long life walked on a rigidly straight line."

Amen to that. You can't add anything to those brilliant words. You have to just savour them like a fine single-malt scotch whisky, believe them and live them. Besides the wisdom and remarkable common sense, isn't it a fact that humans were genetically and anatomically programmed to be serial non-monogamists?
