Probably. We certainly don't have the religeous hang-ups getting in the way. I don't think I would want that as a permanent life style but it can be a lot of fun to dabble in.

I know this subject has been beat to death, but here are a couple of natural tendencies humans exhibit when not influenced by societal restrictions / religion / so-called moral indoctrination:

1. It is in the best interest of a female to mate with the males she believes will help her produce the most successful offspring. She will be selective but she will also inherently understand the need to be diverse and "trade up" if she can. It's relatively easy to find other males to help her support the offspring, if she needs or wants that help. No guarantee the blood father will stick around.

2. It is in the best interest of males to mate with as many females as they are able, although this is complicated by the fact that there is a lot of competition. High-value males will just go for broke because they can; mid-tier males will want to protect the females they're able to mate with from becoming pregnant by competitors. But even as the mid-tier males do this, they'll be open to any opportunities to mate with other women.

These are all things we all more or less feel, deep down, though I suspect a majority of us won't admit it to ourselves - let alone admit it to others. There are several protected tribes of humans that exist today where we can see these natural tendencies in effect, particularly in the Amazon.

Both of these points support the notion that monogamy and polyamory are both natural. However, sex is a social matter, and human beings have very complex social canals to navigate through in order to keep peace. Societies organically develop their own clever ways to deal with these issues and that's why we see such a diversity of tribal behaviors.

I think so too, because we don't feel restricted by the dictates or rules of others when it comes to how we should feel or how we should think. We feel more free to express ourselves (while still knowing what the laws are and still respecting others). I consider myself poly because I am capable of loving more than one person, and it's nobody else's business to tell me I am not.

I don't really know. there are religions where having more than one wife is part of it I know. really im more of a one man one woman person unless it's a bit of fun and even then I demand honesty and it's still mostly one on one.

I think so.

i have no problem with people who want more than one mate, but its not for me.

There is probably some level of correlation, at least on the surface. For atheists, at least, traditional (read: religious) values no longer require lip service.

There seems to be a lot of Poly People here. I don't know if "we" are more open to that lifestyle, or if people are just more open about their private lives.

I was in a polyamorous situation years ago, and it worked for a while, but it wasn't easy, and I wouldn't particularly want it to happen again.

" YES "

If people comment I suppose you will find out....
