I believe some birds do as well. Actually they don't even attempt, they just do it.

You mean to tell me that if I have multiple relations....I'll get an STD?! Is that really all you have to stand on? Because this is not the case in MOST scenarios.

whap whap...

we tend to think of ourselves as at least ONE of the more intelligent species dexy ...come on now man.... smile

Let's be fair..... your post the otha day just told us how you like to live and let live (skateboardin with the best of 'em) wink

just as some prefer not to "ATTEMPT" ...others hold sacred the "ABILITY" to do so wink
"BUT" for every action there's a reaction .... for every thing you get you give something in return it's the weight and balance of universe....


I think initially when people "ATTEMPT" to become familiar with their sexuality they definitely explore and experiment with more than one partner exclusively.....but as they grow and mature and take on values and ethics and healthcare responsibilities for themselves and those they love.... well, sometimes they no longer have to "ATTEMPT" they kind of "CHOOSE" to share that special part of them of the ONE that has earned their love and their "RESPECT" ..... and that they've given it to...

Ya ever get a present that you KNEW someone had taken the time to hand pick just for you and not only the gift but the whole effort on their part made you feel so special and so loved..... well, would u still feel special if the bought one of the same thang fo' errybody on your block? ;wink would u still treasure it and them with the same high regard? Actions speak volumes baby .... words well they are words.... smile some of which have value and some of which are used as smokescreen .....filter ..... or *ahem* an "ATTEMPT" booty!



awwwww the true higher level whip cool

I didn't create this just because of SEX people. I just want to know why we do this, that's all.

I don't need to have sex with the world....LOL

Oh, I know! I am a Sag, and it isn't easy.. We are explorers, and wanderers!

It has been a test for me.

I'd be willing to bet that your partner wouldn't be a mad if you were "ATTEMPTING" to swap Fried Chicken recipes biggrin it wasn't JUST because of Sex ...but Sex is a differentiation .... THEY DON'T GIVE A DAMN IF YOU'RE GIVIN YOUR RECIPE AWAY..... ;wink

eek YOU don't? When did this happen....OMG? razz


i think having multiple lovers is different than having multiple relationships at one time. How can you give of yourself to multiple people at one time.... especially emotionally. I can't give 2 or 3 men ALL of me ALL time.

polygamy isn't for me.

LOL.....whap whap!!

I mean....why do we invest our time and whatever else into a relationship when most humans get bored easily and end up going elsewhere or straying or just breaking up, when we can simply come to grips with ourselves and just go where we wish to be, whenever we wish to be there. Isn't this life given to us to explore?

But Dex, you can do that if you will. You need to find women who are down for that. I know for Me, once I'm committed, I'm done. I don't need to keep looking, etc. The trick is finding someone into you the same way. Most of the time its one person who is getting bored, straying, etc. so I do understand your point.

Know yourself and be true to that....I personally like the notion of being with one person.

Nah....most are alone because they either will or will not ever be able to effectively communicate their complexities or just aren't willing to understand that there is always plenty of fruit to try in this world.

We get tired of folks for a plethora of reasons.....and we decide we don't want anything to do with people for awhile...then we get back in the saddle and drive ourselves nuts because we still cannot effectively communicate shit about ourselves and retreat once again! When all there really is to do is just one of two things....settle for one (besides yourself) and pull your hair out from time to time or just chill and be with the world and do what you feel, when you feel it. I don't know which is better or more effective because I love the variety my life brings to me. When will I ever be with one particular person.....who knows.

There are just so many ways to go about this thing called life....who really knows which way is best?

I think it's because that is what we learned to do. That is what is "normal" and looked upon as "normal" to society.

Personally, I don't really feel that it is natural for the majority. It's just what we do.
