Some readers still want to act like this is something necessary in order to be "conscious" and living with truth, love and power.
You do NOT need to explore polyamory in order to "prove" you are "conscious."
Just because a couple chooses monogamy does NOT mean they are living a lie. And every couple who chooses this does NOT end up cheating on their spouse in private. But those for polyamory seem to hold on to that justification with all their might.
I don't care that Steve is going down this road, I just don't want readers automatically assuming this is a "higher level of living" or some other junk like that. I realize some of you have not seen a normal, loving monogamous relationship. They do exist. They do NOT all end up with someone cheating.
I also agree with those that pointed out "oneness" doesn't mean having sex. I just don't buy any of the justifications for this way of life. I think the REAL truth is that it feels good. Period. It feels good to be wanted and lusted after by someone new. It feels good to have someone new interested in you and want to get to know you like your wife can't anymore because she already knows you. It feels good ~ it's not about "spreading love" or "oneness." Nothing wrong with doing what feels good, but lets not paint it like it's some grand thing about oneness and living consciously.
