Healthy Polyamory is practiced by many
April 22nd 2011 00:01
Polyamory is the concept of being in a love relationship with multiple people. Of late, around 10% of the United States of America has been reported to practice polyamory.
What is polyamory and how is it different from polygamy or other forms of group relationships? Well, we will try to talk about this in article here.
How would one like to love an intelligent, beautiful and well-built spouse? Perhaps, everyone would want that; but not everyone does get a partner with all the good features that one might want. This causes the relationship to degrade over time and the want of filling up the gap rises and gives away to divorce in many cases.
The traditional idea of monogamy, where a man marries a woman and raises kids and lives happily ever after, has now vitiated by the want amongst all, of having a better partner with all the qualities or characteristics that one is looking for. Couples have found themselves being incompatible with each other and have moved to the court to get divorced. This has in turn created lots of stress and has deteriorated the quality of living for both.
According to many, living a healthy life, both mentally and physically is everyones right. And if someone thinks that the relationship that they are in is not giving the right outcome that they wanted, they are free to get out of it any moment they want to. Some also add that having being married does not matter in such a scenario.
Well, being healthy is a necessity and to preach healthy living is the soul of this blog. If anyone is happier outside a relationship, he or she is free to step out of it. Polyamory provides a better alternative to separation. How is that?
Polygamy and polyamory are different concepts. In the former, one man marries multiple women and has sex with them; it does not matter whether the man is in love with all the women or not. However, in polyamory, the basic concept is being in love. It can be practiced by anyone, irrespective of the gender and the best part of it is that polyamory is accomplished with the consent of the partner, which is effective and mandatory.
Polyamory is essentially not about having sex with multiple people of the opposite gender but it preaches that one needs to be in an emotional attachment with all these people and having sex can be an ancillary act.
So, would it be advisable? As of now, in this present modal society, polyamory may not be advisable. It would not be possible, under various rules and regulations that the court of law has over a married relationship, to go ahead with polyamory and still lead a stress less life. The amount of extra stress one would need to keep this unknown to people around you, in office or in the park, would take over the stress that one might have overcome while trying to fall out of the stingy relationship with their spouse. It might turn the table on those, who might want to go gaga about it.
Polyamorists may talk about having a primary partner, a secondary partner or even a tertiary partner. This hierarchical approach is needed to prioritize and schedule their time with various partners. However, you can easily see how complicated and demanding this situation would be, along with a normal working life.
There are many people who would not get into polyamory given a chance, just to avoid further complicacies in life, even if they are not happy with their spouse. It is to the sole discretion of the person whether to get involved in polyamory or not and one must know what the local law says about this, before trying to follow this concept.
