Thankfully I don't live in this world...
...but thought I'd bring up the subject anyway because it's on my mind.
I have a couple of friends who have been together for bloody ages and everything looked so bleedin' perfect (almost annoyingly so). I recently found out that there have been a few unspoken activities going on below the radar. Initially I was really surprised but on reflection, I'm really not.
2 things will happen when I've written this:
i) This post will be littered with replies from married men (& women) saying, "Oh God I'd never cheat on my lover"
ii) People will say, 'aaah you would say that you're a bloke'.
I've got sooo many female friends who are completely in touch with their sexuality in a really positive way. They celebrate this by having sex as often as possible (commonly known in Western Christianised guilty quarters as 'sluts').
However in their defence, the approach to these acts mean that they're not forgettable throwaway drunken Friday nighters. We're talking connected, worthwhile experiences.
Whyyyyyy do people bother labelling relationships as monogamous when 90% of lovers cheat at some point? It's a natural drive ffs - suppressing it manifests in all sorts of horrible ways...ancient cultures have been doing it for thousands of years.
Even Chinese Taoist cultures promote the benfits of a second partner for women to train in sexual disciplines.
I understand the importance of family etc - but why are people deluding themselves that they are more than happy to have a single lover for the rest of their lives?
Anyone who says they want this is talking absolute b*llocks.
(yes you are)
(no I'm not)
etc...
Just had to get that out.
