No. Never had that thought, and no “boom”.

You presume everyone thinks like this and base an argument around this presumption when it’s not so — Not for everyone.

To elevate the natural attractions towards others to some level of internal psychological/physiological battle of withstanding their attractiveness is an over-dramatization at best. At least, for some (most?) of us.

Is it “natural” to eat cake, and stop battling the “monogamy” of only eating healthy? Is the desire for cake a beacon long-ignored hinting at our true selves wanting, needing, cake? Has society pressured us into ignoring our natural cake-eating existence?

Should we stop being so repressed about cake and embrace the reality that society pushes us to eat healthy, when in fact cake is a natural part of the human eating pattern?

Maybe some people just don’t care much for cake, and it’s that simple? I can see cake and have no overbearing primal need to stick it in me, or me in it, no matter how delicious it looks.

If some people want to eat cake every day then good for them, but that choice brings its own set of problems to the table.

Some of us like fruit and vegetables, and all of the benefits they bring. Cake isn’t a desired option whatsoever.

Let’s not paint monogamy as the new thing society supposedly forces on us, and thus it must be rejected. At this point it feels more like polyamory is the new in-thing that is being shoved down throats as the new savior, but some of us don’t want or need saving, thanks.

Everyone is different, clearly. Some of us only have enough room, and desire, in our lives for a singular other. While others seemingly feel empty without more than one person. Where’s your limit? 2? 3? 10? And why is your limit any more justified than another?

Maybe what you want, and need, out of life is simply different to what some others want and need. Maybe there is such a thing as “normal”, and maybe monogamy is it. Maybe it isn’t — I don’t know one way or another.

But, really, this whole thing can similarly be applied to being homo vs hetero vs some shade in between. It’s a fruitless fight where one side can’t particularly see the viewpoint of the other because it’s so far removed from each others “normal”.
