So if you think of romance and think of sex, if you look at them as like a finite resource, you might say, I need to get as much as I can when applicable. So I think this is also driving that sort of the fear and uncertainty. The other thing is, we live in a consumer driven culture where if we see something and we like it, we try to get it, and we try to get more of it and more of it

I think people also think that they're fear of being committed, although being committed to two people is actually harder than one because you have two people to really care about. And so I think a lot of people are doing it for the appearance of it and not have a knowledge of it. Now, obviously, these relationships are not new, right? We can even go back to before recorded time. There traditionally have been men with more than one wives

Hey, thanks for listening and for sharing. And you brought up some really great points. The taboo appeal of it where, like, it's exotic and so that makes it more interesting to people. If it didn't have a pill, then maybe it would just be sort of a passing interest or just another option that people had. And you also brought up another really great point about people fitting into boxes, trying to fit people into roles that it. That's not who they are

And just what I have seen, and I'm not an expert. I'm not in it. I don't really have relationships with people in this directly, so I can't say an expert, but I would say there are two major types of people I would expect to be in this sort of thing. The first are those who are open and honest with each other and have a healthy relationship to begin with. And those are the ones I think

They're dating married women on the DL, which I consider to be kind of dangerous because nowadays you don't know if a husband, whether he consents or does not consent, one day he may just feel kind of like, dude, I don't want you around anymore. And he may become kind of aggressive or violent towards you. So to me, that's a dangerous game. I would not deliberately put myself in that situation

Hey, thank you for listening and for sharing. And you brought up a really great point that's come to the back of my mind. But I didn't mention is the possibility of it taking a serious, dangerous turn. Because if just one person gets really upset and for whatever reason, things could get really sour real quickly and you could be dealing with the possibility of violence. And I think just two people having a relationship can be something that could be volatile
