I think there’s this common misconception that poly means everyone is bangging everyone & my experience is the the intimate connections tend to be radial & not closed loops. A sorts of ‘tribe’ structure.
It’s worse than that. When you look at the status quo through the lens of capitalism, we’re all very strongly aligned with maximum extraction of personal wealth. Everyone is at peak personal inefficiency by everyone having/owning one of everything, as we constantly bleed income to other parties. In other words: we’d all be richer if we shared more stuff and were less territorial about things that don’t matter.
TL;DR: everything we should be doing is stuff we learned in the sandbox as kids.
Yep, it is inherent in human identity and it’s absence is the likely cause of many, many mental health issues. The social structure of pre-contact forced christian re-education of indigenous tribes is the product of hundreds of thousands of years of people just straight chilling and is, imo, the natural state of human social structures without the fuckery of abrahamic religions.
Who up to join the polycule
Or just a co-op house so we don’t feel obligated to copulate with each other, which we could do any ways in a co-op but only if we actually want to.
nobody should ever feel obligated to copulate in any relationship :c

IMO that’s the way it should be, rather then this fractured, boxed up society we have today.
