I’d like to write a piece in defence of monogamy. Those of you who know me will know it’s hardly on my behalf that I write this. I’ve never really pulled off monogamy for very long, and I don’t like it much. However, I’d like to take a step back and talk about how important it is to some people.
In the community, I think sometimes we fall into a certain mindset: “If you don’t like what I like, you just haven’t done it properly.”
I have heard people say this about all manner of things, from breath play to anal sex. They fall in love with something, and then they just assume everyone who doesn’t also love it is doing it wrong.
In the case of poly relationships, I am guilty of this. I tend to think that if playing with one person is fun, then playing with two will obviously be twice as fun for anyone. And yes, I am also a fan of threesomes and orgies. (Only with good friends!) I tend to have trouble sometimes understanding why people insist on sexual fidelity.
When I step back though, I realize that I really need to be more accepting.
No matter how much I love something, that doesn’t mean anyone else has to even like it. I think sometimes we all get a little forgetful about that, and we probably shouldn’t.
The moral of the story is: Let’s all remember that the things we like are the things we like. Let’s remember to be accepting of the limits that others have, and try not to ever push someone outside of their comfort zone.

Very true. The key point is that everybody should accept that people need different things and respect that.
Yes. I just think this can be a little hard sometimes. This is mostly a reminder to keep trying.
That’s a great point! I think we can all be guilty of this mindset sometimes. We can’t expect others to be open to our differences if we are not open to theirs!
