Multiple Lovers, Without Jealousy
The Atlantic ^ | July 21, 2014 | Olga Kazan

Posted on 07/21/2014 7:17:23 AM PDT by C19fan

When I met Jonica Hunter, Sarah Taub, and Michael Rios on a typical weekday afternoon in their tidy duplex in Northern Virginia, a very small part of me worried they might try to convert me.

All three live there together, but they aren’t roommates—they’re lovers.

Or rather, Jonica and Michael are. And Sarah and Michael are. And so are Sarah and whomever she happens to bring home some weekends. And Michael and whomever he might be courting. They’re polyamorous.

Now with gay marriage all but won. The Left now is repeating the playbook to make polygamy socially acceptable then legal. Puts to a lie all the so called argument that gay marriage does not lead to polygamy.

Man, that’s just...gross. I couldn’t imagine “sharing” a woman with another guy. Makes me sick.

No, they are not “polyamorous”; they are PROMISCUOUS.

STDs, anyone?

They are all telling lies. You cannot defy the innate nature of Man now matter how hard you try. You can call a dog a cat all day long in liberal lalaland but the truth is its a dog. Same with these gay “lovers”. Sooner or later a dominate female will emerge and the other two will be drawn to her and things will get ugly. Knowing emotionally unstable nature of LGBT’ers one of them will end up hacked to pieces and buried in the woods somewhere and tell the dominant female that the other lover ran off with someone new. Mark my word about these nutcases. It will happen; may just take a few years though.

The only restrictions are that Josh and Cassie spend their wedding anniversary alone together, and that all parties undergo a full STD check before any kind of “fluid bonding” takes place.

How romantic.

I don’t think this is really polygamy. My younger friends, into the culture, tell me cuckhold is a big thing now - as is swinging in general. I think this is of that flavor.

that’s not a defense, by the way...

Polyamorous is just another term for sluts, male and female.

It's not about gay marriage or polygamy per se... it's about destroying traditional marriage. That's the real agenda, though these poor fools have no idea what the ramifications of that will be.

Translation: no one in this situation values anyone else in this situation highly enough to want to be exclusive with any other person.

The minute anyone starts caring more about someone else here, than he does about his own personal appetites, there will be "jealousy."

These sorts of things are attempted all the time - they are temporary for a reason.

Living on Lies is what they do best these days and they try to foist it on society as normal. Pretty soon they will make a book for children on it...

Maybe it’s just me, but do the people in the article come across as totally narcisstic and selfish?

You are right. The liberals laughed and demeaned all of us who talked about the slippery slope during the homosexual marriage debates.

We are well on the way to normalizing homosexual marriage. The next step is polgamy/group marriage, featuring any number of partners, any gender of partners.

The same legal arguments made for homosexual marriage can be made for polygamy and group marriage.

And if liberal judges get these cases, we could see this happen.

First we have changed marriage so that it’s just any two people. For now we still have monogamy intact. It seems clear that the concept of monogamy will be done away with as well.

Gives me a headache just reading it, which is what happens to me when I encounter evil.

"They’re polyamorous. "

No, they're perverted lowlifes. Just my opinion, of course.

This was all presaged by the notion of “free love” that has been around as part of the libertarian socialist movement since the mid-1800’s at least.

Which was just attempting to stuff immorality that has always been around into an organized ideology of sorts.

Even if these people can “Make it work” common sense and experience indicates these people are “Statistical Outliers” and as such should not be used as an example for “making policy”.

This is the problem with the liberal agenda, they try to take “Statistical Outliers” and pass them off as the “Normal Trend”. Which is mathmatically dishonest.

They all have or will soon all be infected with herpes and HPV and other more transitory STD’s. YUCK!
