@549: You feel a certain way and therefore can't imagine that anyone might feel differently from you? That doesn't make any sense at all.

^^^Why though? Do you have any logical oppositions to it, or just because it makes you feel queasy? Why is sex only for two people?

@Chagen: Well, I don't think we'll ever see eye-to-eye here, but...here's my thoughts on it.

I don't do love. My ideal sex partner would be a close friend. Friendship isn't something that is necessarily restricted to just two people, so I don't think it would be fair to expect me or my friend/partner to have only a single friend/partner.

Malkavian: I don't really know why. It's just that the thought of polyamoury or polygamy disgusts me so much it's not even funny. I am fundementandly and morally opposed to it.

I suppose this is a bad time to say that I don't understand the concept of morality, either. (Though that's another thread.)

That's my point though. If all you've got is a queasiness in your gut, it's not fair to make a moral judgment. It'd be like me making a moral judgment on someone for putting anchovies on their pizza.

I really don't have an answer, besides the fallacious and circular logic of "love is for two people because I think so".

Love is something to be shared between two people, and two people only. Doesn't matter what their sex, gender, or orientations are, but it's for two people only.

You can't love more than one person. Well, perhaps you can, but the thought of it sickens and nasueates me' so....

Chagen, please stop with the vile language.

I do not go on a tirade about your diaper fetishism, even if I do not understand it.

Please do not say things like this about my sexual/romantic habits.

It... hurts.

@Chagen 46 That's great, man, I'm happy for you. You dislike polyamory, and you plan on living by what you believe, that's good. As long as you don't stop me or other people engaging in polyamory, you're fine as you are.

Yes.

As long as you're not calling it 'vile and disgusting', I have no problem with you expressing your opposing views on the matter.

Yes.

Let's go back to the discussion of love, rather then polygamy.

And, uh, too any pages to dig through >.>

If somebody else digs through the pages and gives me a list I'll updated it, but otherwise, too much hassle.

But I was finding the discussion of close friendship vs. romantic love to be interesting :P

Well, on that subject, I'm romantically interested in certain objects... I'm not quite sure if platonic love with them is possible.

@Cygan Angel Can't we just say they're both great forms of love and leave it that?

I don't have anything against platonic love, but romantic love is a possible avenue for trouble.

I suppose that's true. I'm still not really used to romance so I'm a little wary. Particularly since I've yet to feel it towards another person. I'm used to the other forms, so I don't worry too much about them.
