Polyamory: Lot's of love (Part 1)

This is a part 1 of my series about nonmonogamous relationships: polyamory in particular, to raise awareness for these people who are highly discriminated against. I explain the definition and some terms used by poly people and debunk some common arguments/misconceptions related to this subculture.

@totenkray Not here to impress you, first of all. Second of all I'm in a long-term monogamous relationship, have never been polyamorous, I just support love of all kinds. Now kindly fall off a building.

Good job with your video. Polyamory is both good and full of love and honesty. Diversity in society is a moral standard upon which civilization is based. Polyamory is part of that diversity. Thanks so much for your timely and ethics-based input.

polyamory is WRONG!!

it is either multiamory or polyphilia, but mixing greek and latin roots is wrong!

it's no crime, english is a blend mostly of both latin and greek roots, prefixes, and suffixes.

@artemisfair I don't care about your agreement I just didn't want you pissed because honestly I get into youtube wars very easily and I don't need to start a new one. That's all.

[artemisfair]

@TheOneWingedBird Not at all, and sorry if that came off the wrong way. What I meant by that is to remind you that my approval is not the one you should be seeking and even if it were we can agree to disagree.

[TheOneWingedBird]

@artemisfair No, I just thought I'd bring my views into your opinion on marriage and society....my bad.

[artemisfair]

@TheOneWingedBird Are you seeking validation for your position?

[TheOneWingedBird]

@artemisfair True, I myself don't hold a strong belief in marriage, because I see dishonesty in lots of them. What I believe is a committed long-term & monogamous relationship.

I don't agree with the lifestyle of polyamory, but not because of marriage or religious reasons. I just have different viewpoints when it comes to love & sex I guess, I find that it needs to be something special between 2 ppl. However, I dont discriminate against people because they are polyamorists. I only dissagree.

[artemisfair]

@TheOneWingedBird You're right, I misspoke. I'm not getting enough sleep lately lol. Marriage has always been about ownership, especially toward females. The point is, I think we should be moving away from this model. We like to consider ourselves more enlightened than we used to be, and yet we have these antiquated ideals about love and relationships. This doesn't have to naturally lead to polyamory, but trust should be understood to be the foundation for a good long-lasting relationship.
