Science has long harbored a ‘monogamy bias’ that doesn’t sync with nature. We can stop assuming monogamy is the only valid option or should even be the default. ENM is not for everyone nor is it “better” than monogamy, it’s simply a valid option for those who choose it.... show more

The hope is that non-monogamy becomes as widely accepted as being queer – just another way of being sexual, human, connecting, and loving. It's a valid and healthy option if done right, so that monogamy is a conscious and considered choice. #nonmonogamy #relationships

Many people exploring ethical non-monogamy find it ironic that an experience that has brought them deep happiness in a very emotionally healthy way, is also something they have to hide from the world. Something they feel no shame about must remain secret. #ENM, #CNM, #nonmonogamy, #polyamory Kate MONOGAMISH 🇨🇦 The Monogamish Marriage

Public support for non-monogamy and polyamory has risen considerably in recent years. Many advocates argue that normalizing non-monogamy is a progressive reform in line with women's equality and same-sex marriage. But this view is seriously misguided, as I argue in this new talk. Normative monogamy played a critical and underappreciated role in enabling the rise of democracy, women's rights, and gay rights—and eroding that norm will undermine rather than advance those values. That is true whether the norm of monogamy is challenged from the right (i.e., patriarchal polygamy) or from the left (i.e., polyamory and consensual non-monogamy). From the teaching of Jesus himself onwards, Christianity has always upheld monogamy as an important moral standard. That norm has had a far greater and more beneficial impact on our society than many realize, and it cannot be altered without producing significant unintended negative consequences. In short: Monogamy matters, and it is very much worth defending.

The ENM Imbalance Problem A common argument against ethical non-monogamy is that it can’t work because one person will usually have more options, attention, or dating success than the other. And honestly, that can be true. But imbalance exists in monogamy too. The real issue is whether that imbalance gets talked about honestly or used as leverage. ENM doesn’t fail just because things aren’t perfectly equal. It fails when someone says yes out of fear, when jealousy gets dismissed, or when one person’s freedom comes at the other person’s emotional expense. The ethics are in how you handle the messy parts.

This video is by Dr. Joe Beam founder of Marriage Helper with his daughter, Kimberly Holmes, the CEO of the company. Marriage Helper is a Christian organization created to help salvage marriages, particularly those experiencing infidelity. Perhaps their lack of education of ENM is creating more harm than good?

Our species norm is polygyny: 80% of cultures historically let high-status men hoard wives while low-status men get nothing. Christianity (inherited from Rome) forced monogamy for 2000 years. Now we've mostly ditched it—and we're sliding back toward the old pattern. Louise Perry: Lifting the monogamous restriction produces worse outcomes—higher crime, domestic violence, economic inequality. Monogamy is better for women and low-status men. Monogamy isn't "natural"—it's an engineered cultural upgrade that tamed inequality and violence. Do you think monogamy is worth defending even if it's not the "default" human pattern? Or are we better off returning to the species norm? Your take 👇

Who's Into Polyamory? Polyamory gets stereotyped a lot, but the people drawn to it are not all one type. The more interesting question is why some people are willing to question the relationship script they were handed. This video isn’t about saying polyamory is better or monogamy is outdated. It’s about looking at why some people choose different structures, what that requires emotionally, and why “normal” is not always the same thing as “right for you.”

Why Non-Monogamy Is Growing It feels like non-monogamy is suddenly everywhere, but what’s really changing isn’t how many people are doing it — it’s how openly we’re talking about it. In this video, I break down why poly and non-monogamous relationships are more visible right now, what’s driving the shift, and why questioning default relationship scripts doesn’t automatically mean rejecting monogamy. This isn’t about trends or taking sides. It’s about understanding what actually works for different people.

Monogamy Is Not Emotional Ownership Monogamy means sexual exclusivity. It does not mean emotional ownership. Somewhere along the way, we started confusing commitment with control — believing that if someone loves us, we should be their only confidant, their only source of comfort, their whole emotional universe. But that’s not intimacy… that’s pressure. Healthy monogamy isn’t about shrinking your partner’s world down to you. It’s about two full humans choosing each other while still having friendships, passions, and support outside the relationship. Let’s talk about the difference — because emotional monopoly isn’t the same thing as love.

Today is Sunday, November 23rd, and it’s National Polyamory Day — yes, that means more than one love, more than one partner, consciously, ethically. Why is polyamory getting more attention? And maybe ask… what if monogamy isn’t the only “right” model for humans? Here’s a wild idea (but backed by some interesting thinking): Our ancestors didn’t always follow the one‑partner‑for‑life script.

Monogamy isn’t natural for men and you can never convince me that it is. I’m a man and I know what comes natural to me and MOST men. Not saying being with one woman is impossible but it takes a conscious willing effort.

Conservatives believe government should be a last resort, not the first option. That includes intervening in private companies. It’s simply not what we stand for, and whoever follows Trump is unlikely to take the same approach.

The power dynamics in #ErosAndAgape Every dynamic is valid if it works for you. TPE 24/7 is no better or worse than a vanilla relationship. It’s just different. Which one is your favourite?

It’s time to say it as it is. For people who want to play the system, sickness benefits have become the easy option. It’s a kick in the teeth for people who desperately need help - and for taxpayers paying the bills. We will stop this.
