If you think polygamous people are less possesive and jealous i have quite some stories to tell about the polygamous people i know. Polygamy in theory requires an emotional matureness that i have yet to wittness in practice. All the polygamous people i know either had more of a harem idea, with them having many devout sex partners or were just unable to form strong and commited relationships.This goes for all interpersonalrelationships, not just sexual ones.
I cannot judge if there is people able to live it like envisoned, but the ones i know are basically children that didnt learn yet, that you cannot have every toy in the store.
That’s not devoid of truth, but there’s more to it than that.
A pact of absolute partnership is a powerful thing when both parties truly believe in it. Physical intimacy has a huge and subtle effect on one’s entire being, and restricting it isn’t that crazy. Humans aren’t the only animals which exhibit monogamy.
What is archaic is the opposition to normalizing polyamory as well. There are all kinds of harmful knock-on effects of a monogamy-only society, and people should have the freedom to choose without being ostracised simply for not conforming.
Anyone who thinks monogamy would not exist without social mores to enforce it is fooling themselves.
Monogamy feels like an archaic social convention enforced by unhealthy possessive behaviors and jealousy
