I've recently been reading Osho's "being in love", and he makes an interesting point for polyamory, and promoting the idea of extra-marital affairs- being good for a relationship. While I see a certain logic in his reasoning, I personally can't envision the idea for myself- well not that I'm married, or ever have been- I even find it slightly disturbing. Perhaps its my own insecurity that can't allow me to accept the idea. For me, if a loved one were to love another man, I'd go a bit crazy with jealousy, and I'd probably end it right there- and be depressed for months.
Are there any thoughts on the idea? If anybody is unfamiliar with Osho, google him, and polyamory- (I may be spelling that incorrectly)
My current partner thinks its possible to be in-love with 2 people simultaneously. I personally don't believe that to be possible.

by the way, hope everyone had a nice summer!

yes I agree... but the question is why? I ask myself, and the only thing i can come up with, is fear.

Ok this will be hard for me in English.

In one of his books he says that body is only house of soul and that u have to offer your house(body) to everyone that has need for it but ur centar will stay connected with centar of other person or ur soulmate,thay r not connected from his view.

dont think you can be in love with two people at the same time and you would always really have a favourite

I think monogamy is indigenous to homo sapien..where you find the emotions of love and connection, you will also find possession and jealousy...and hurt..

guiriman: Excuse the question, but how did the researchers know the men had died during m**turbation?


By the details filled in by the paramedics/ ambulance crews, and doctors; just as the Fire and Rescue personel have to file reports on the women they have to rescue from being stuck/ wedged in their toilets...rolling on the floor laughing
