Polyamory Isn’t Good For Men — And That’s Exactly Why I Need It
How The Freedom of Others Promotes The Freedom That I Need
Don’t get ahead of me, now, when I say that polyamory isn’t good for men — that’s not actually me saying it — I’m quoting others. When conversing with my more honest and thoughtful friends who are men, this is the usual objection I get to my lifestyle (I don’t ask, they usually tell)— that it’s simply not good for men, and that sexual liberation isn’t good for men, in general.
I’ll keep this one short and sweet…
First of all, I’d like to say that I’m both fortunate and thankful to have such amazing and honest friends, people who are willing to share with me their experience and more importantly, their fears. This really means a lot to me.
One friend recently told me that when we “free up” the options of sexual partners, women will always have the advantage because they simply have more options, and while I’d say this might apply to everyone, it doesn’t apply to all of us, but that misses the point. He was right to say that, in his belief that opening up sexuality within our culture would somehow create more competition, making it more difficult for men in an already competitive dating world.
