No.
Although this is a very poorly worded question. I do believe it exists. You may have heard of the planet it exists on, Earth. You may even know a funny creature named a human who particpates in it. You may not know that it is supremely unnatural for a mammal like the human to practise it.
Joking aside, I don't believe it is the one size fits all of relationships. It seems to work for many people though and many people seem to believe is is one size fits all.
But I'm the person who doesn't fit the 'one size fits all' hat. So yeah, people can have just one partner. They can also have two or three or four... however many they want, like or need. My tendancies towards shipping threesomes quite clearly indicates my support. (I think I have more OT3s/OT4s than I do true OTPs.) *uses OT3 icon*
I actually think having more than one person to rely on emotionally is a great idea. Communal emotional support is great in a more general, less deep way too, which is why friends are all sorts of awesome. *gives hugs to everyone*

In other news, Fenrir Inc., the company who produced Sleinipr, my favourite web browser, has produced an image editor.
Nothing terribly sophisticated, better than paint, but since it isn't in English, I can't figure out how much so.
It does have layers and layer modes. But it doesn't have image adjustments, just filters. And I haven't quite figured out how to make brushes.
I think the general progression of image editing programs on my computer thus goes: Photoshop > the GIMP > PictBear > Paint

Date: 2009-05-23 02:48 am (UTC)From a biology perspective, polygamy and cheating and sleeping around is a way to genetically diversify your offspring.
But emotions stuff things up, so yeah, jealously happens.
I'd personally be a bit hurt rather than jealous if a previously devoted guy ditched me, but then I'd console myself that I wasn't the genetic material he was looking for. If I was able to keep rational about it...
(Strangely though, all the polyamorous articles I've read place a very high importance on telling the truth, being honest and sharing. It appears to work and looks as if expecting imbalance between three people is better than expecting balance between two.)
