We're getting closer and closer to wrapping back around and just having community. Just remove the sex aspect and boom you got a community going.
you ever wonder if communities typically did just have a bunch of sex but revisionism happened
For most of the existence of human species (according to the scholarly consensus of anthropologists) we existed in bands of adults who would intermingle freely. Adolescent men would raid nearby tribes and kidnap their young women, which is the means by which genes were exchanged between tribes.
All the monogamy and licensing happened after agriculture and the great leap forward once tribes became big enough that infectious diseases were no longer contained through pure isolation. We see the misogynistic trends rise in late Hellenic periods and then Christianity cranked it up to eleven, so now we imagine even our migrant hunter-gatherer ancestors paired off.
As a note, during the middle ages, it was super important among aristocracy to assure ladies-in-waiting were virginal before they were wed, and then used purely as heir machines, but the serf class routinely banged like bunnies in springtime. And while frowned upon by the more piety-minded clergy, it was generally ignored because a) Child mortality was something awful and every kid that ever reached majority was to be celebrated, and b) The labor shortage was extreme everywhere. There was always way too much stuff to be done, and so every pair of hands was welcome, even when they were attacked to an idiot, a malformed hunchback, a ne'er-do-well or the bastard progeny of a mixed coupling.
Curiously, as we see in the birth of Mordred, pre-Christian European traditions included suspending adultery limitations during holidays, which happened at least once a season, sometimes twice. So even in societies where monogamy was the norm, there was a defined space for getting a bit on the side. (Useful when your partner was infertile.)
So yeah. Right in one.
I'd guess they did, but I have no way to prove it. Let's build some and find out.
but revisionism happened
The spotless translation of countless scrolls, tablets, and old books make this clear. They were all just roommates. Nothing to see here.
Basically "samesies" skit lmao
Maybe the treasure was the community we formed as we had all the sex.
This is like half the point of polyamory
This is incredibly common in SF. Many people live in co-ops and it's created an entire subculture where they coordinate large parties and events both within the co-op and with other co-ops. It's gone beyond necessity and become preferred by some because they enjoy living with lots of others. Not my thing, but many friends live in co-ops and love it.
Wait why remove the sex??
Re-establishment of clans and tribes will soon become an economic necessity for the poor. Unions would of course be better, but I'm not holding my breath.
Counterpoint: Clan night raids with fire & steal on the local oligarchs & tyrants.
Realistically, it will be poor tribes vs poor tribes more often than not.
All three in my triad are ADHD no one else cares enough to try to understand us but we have eachother.
Who up to join the polycule
Or just a co-op house so we don't feel obligated to copulate with each other, which we could do any ways in a co-op but only if we actually want to.
Multiple wives might get you greater revenue but they have higher expenses.
Men, if you want more net savings, don't get multiple wives. Just get one husband. Problem solved. The gays figured out how to game the wage gap long ago. Lesbians still have trouble though.
Very much agree. Plus dicks are fun to play with! Right? I mean we all play with ours while sleeping in the dog h...couch! Right? But I think lesbians do better too.
30%•2
The math checks out.
Yo straight up all my gay and lesbian couple friends are rich AF though haha. One lesbian couple owns like 50 acres and a fuckin ranch mansion in Texas that's easily worth $5Mn + their livestock. My buddy Joey owns like 5 houses in 3 countries and lives in the Caribbean. He def figured it out.
On the other hand, divorce is also expensive especially with rent costs so I wonder if some people just add to the relationship without moving out...
Why can't I have both?
Polymisery
Looks like name for next TOOL album
The polyamory will continue until we can form a ska band.
Polyskamory
My favourite pokemon
Could we still have a pen & paper RPG group?
what do you think ska bands do when they're done pickin' it up?
The real answer
My brain read skeksis instead of ska. And now I can’t help but picture a band made up of giant, overly-dressed, wrinky old birds rocking out in a dank cave.
Instantly reminded me of The Moon is a Harsh Mistress by Robert A. Heinlein.
And the polyam belta fam from The Expanse
🎶 Come and knock on our door...🎶
TINKs
When my partners realized Doug's neighbors were the dinks
The T stands for [2,3,10,12,13,...]
r/theonepolyjoke
I need two women to cuddle in bed with. Purely for economic reasons of course because I can't afford heating 😎
I remember reading The Moon is a Harsh Mistress. Where criminals were sent there to work. Because of this, there were never enough women. Polyamory was the norm. Except the writer showed one man, married to multiple women. No co-husbands.
I only got halfway the book due to the writer's ceaseless complaing about women. So I am not sure if there are co-husbands at all.
I'd be down regardless tbh
mood. when youre poly af but also forever alone af
A silver lining on this black cloud
At what point does everyone need to be married to everyone and we remake communism?
Poly people are just Muslims in denial
