Polyamory is a lifestyle dedicated to avoiding any human intimacy

I’ve spent a while reading articles and watching videos about the subject, and it's all about having sex with multiple people while making sure no one is too close to you, emotionally.<br><br>It's all about communication, but mostly about communicating what you feel comfortable with, and pushing your boundaries as far away as possible from any intimacy, which is the enemy of the polyamorist. Generally, intimacy is defined as closeness, warmth, and vulnerability. It is a situation in which two or more people feel safe, accepted, and supported, free from fear of being judged or criticized.<br><br>Polyamorists want none of that, but they still want to have sex with several people, because human beings are gregarious by nature, but they are terrified of emotional closeness. <br><br>They don't have a primary relationship, because that would create a certain hierarchy, and would pressure them to be emotionally close to someone. No, they want several secondary relationships, nothing too serious, nothing too committed, nothing a relationship is supposed to be. <br><br>Their greatest enemy is jealousy, because it is a manifestation of the lack of trust that generates when one allows oneself to be vulnerable, to be gullible, to fall in love. The polyamorist does not want to fall in love, but wants to have sex with several people, because, as I said, humans are gregarious. <br><br>They don't want to fall into monotony, but they don't want to have deep conversations either. They don't want to know everything about their partners, because that would bring them too close, and would kill their individuality, their personal freedom of action, their freedom to seek connection with other people. <br><br>They don't want to lose their individuality in the relationship, they don't want to be part of a whole, they don't want to be dedicated parents, husbands, friends, children, etc. They don't want to risk anything, they don't want to invest too much in a relationship, they want to be free to leave whenever they feel like it. <br><br>If I wanted to describe a sociopath, I would describe him in the same way, but you will not find any self-respecting polyamorist calling himself a sociopath.<br><br>&#x200B;<br><br>Edit: I didn't know this chamber was so popular, so this is a good opportunity to reflect on the subject. <br><br>I don't have anything against people having sex with whomever they want. I have a problem with people who call themselves polyamorists because they want to have sex with whoever they want, but don't want to fall in love. <br><br>If you are polyamorous, and you are in love with your multiple partners, then that's not what I described above, and I didn't make this post thinking of you.
