But what if the man doesn't see being a prostitute as a bad thing? At least prostitutes are honest about exactly how much money it will take to sleep with them, unlike civvie women who all have a price but won't reveal it and use sex as a weapon.

Churchill: "Madam, would you sleep with me for five million pounds?"
Socialite: "My goodness, Mr. Churchill… Well, I suppose… we would have to discuss terms, of course…"

Socialite: "Mr. Churchill, what kind of woman do you think I am?!"
Churchill: "Madam, we’ve already established that. Now we are haggling about the price." Originally Posted by pjorourke

Once it lasted many years and we remain close friends. The second time lasted a little while and ended on good terms. The third is just now unfolding. Originally Posted by Lauren Summerhill

The ones that end up happy are the ones where sexual liberation is not an issue. Originally Posted by ninasastri

In any world.I think monogamy has a place in the world, some people can't handle multiple partners, and working through all the emotions and ideas would be a long and difficult process. I think the only time there's a problem is when different people spend their time trying to convince others they are wrong, rather then acknowledge they are not the same person and should not lead similar lives. People have an astoundingly hard time understanding that what makes them happy would make other people absolutely miserable.
The truly polymorous who can live without jealousy can indeed have multiple partners and even multiple loves. I am truly blessed that I got over jealousy long ago. I had a wonderful relationship with a dancer who loved to swing. We had a great time together, and she taught me so much about life, love and sexuality.
I believe that there is no reason to love only one other person, as so many are worthy of our love and affection. We are all capable of an unending supply of both, so why limit either giving or recieving in any relationship. Monogamy is a crock, IMO. Originally Posted by topguntex
