So I dont really believe in Polyamory. Its like communism; idealistic but unfair and destructive in practice.
I believe ultimately in a male human's predisposition for overwhelming and all consuming greed with complete disregard for the emotional havoc he doles upon those he claims he "loves".
If youre with someone who does not satisfy you fully, youre with the wrong person. If you dont love it, LEAVE it. I have never and will never willingly be a part of a relationship where I am put in a position to wonder why I am not enough for my partner.
My opinion is such that if you (as a male) are financially unable to provide for more than one woman and her subsequent offspring, then you should not have more. Reducing a partner to a member of a harem requires a financial commitment; if you want to own chattel, be prepared to PAY for it. Women will frequently exchange their values for financial security (i.e. men twice their age, tolerating the presence of other women, etc etc).
I am so blessed to not be in a position to have to reduce myself thus. I would rather put a bullet in my temporal lobe.
