Monogamy - does it make sense in sl?

Well, yeah . . . I mean, I think that MOST of us are firm believers in THAT kind of utility for males . . . but that doesn't necessitate queening . . . there are other

You know what? Forget it.

LOL

I'll second that emotion.

The word monogamy does not specify "at one time".

Heh, check the first definition here:

Well done! So serial monogamy is a sequence of non-promiscuous relationships.

There are other long words in this article but maybe you could read it under the bedclothes by torchlight once you have been sent to bed.

PS And if Love is even agreeing with me you had better believe you are making a seriously big idiot of yourself!

It's OK, Scylla... You don't have to explain how much you like the sausage... LOLz

I'm pretty sure there is another important thread I should be paying attention to right now ...

Ah, I see where my confusion lies. I got my definition here:

Given that Pep is so old, I figured the "archaic" definition is the one he should be using.

Alright, I be good

If you are, you will exceed all expectations.

And be managing better that Pep and Cody, too.

I suppose anyone who shaves seems old to you though.

Pep (likes to educate the less gifted.)

I can't tell if you are poking fun at my general disobedience or my skills in the bedroom lol

Must be why I never learn anything new from any of Pep's threads...





Fine...everyone always has to come and bail Pep out. Make me feel like a bully or something.

Well, as I am in no position to comment on the latter, don't need to feel threatened by THAT, anyway.

HAH! Bailing Pep out????

My only concern when he gets like this is to make sure that I'm well out of the blast radius!

Oh, but you do *every* time; you just haven't got it through your thick skull that you're going to have to do a lot more growing up before you can play with the big boys.

Nah - just another pretentious brat.

Pep (Now go out and play in the traffic.)

I shave.

God this thread is moving fast! While I was off looking up a few words, it tripled in length.



Sign me up for more of that!

Cody said that he didn't think personal inclination had much to do with it, but I think it does. In my case, I find it hard to handle multiple relationships. I once briefly dated two guys at the same time, and I was a nervous wreck. After a week I broke up with both of them. It was too hard to handle.

In SL it's immeasurably worse, since you're always reachable by IM, and the question "tp me?" has to be answered in some way.

I was involved for a while with a guy who had multiple partners. He was a wonderful man, but emotionally the situation was a bit deflating.

I'm sure that some ppl can manage it, but I'd rather be the the one woman of the one-woman man.

Mono = one. Gamy = marry. What's male-centric about that?

Cuddling has always reminded me of watching a dog drink from a water-bowl. It's slop slop slop and then shaking the head off.

I'm with you Jiglet. God knows how many times I have snapped, "Quit hanging on me, demmit!"

I have to say at this point that among the advice my Dad gave me long ago was that "The only thing more stressful than having a relationship with a woman is having relationships with more than one woman."

Pep (I know what he meant now. )

I thought that gamy meant girl.

Well, yeah, but I think that Seven was implicitly contrasting it with polygamy, which USUALLY implies multiple wives, rather than multiple husbands. For the latter, polyandry is more usual.

I think that there is a subtle phallocentric bias in this thread, actually. Particularly when Smith posts.
