theatrical-muse topic 142: What are your thoughts about monogamy?
It's overrated.
You let down your guard far more than you should when you've allowed yourself to become so comfortable with one person. Emotions, sex, intimacy... It's all a bad idea.
Okay. Maybe not sex. Sex is good.
Sometimes. Sometimes sex is good. When you're not busy with other things that require your attention. Or when you don't have a gun to clean. Or when the dishes aren't sitting in the sink. Or when you don't have to wash your hair...
Watching people become pathetic masses of angst and worry as they become attached to one person, as they realize how much of themselves they've thrown away to become what that other person wants... It sickens me. Really, is it necessary to bed down with one person? It's not, really. It's more a human want than a need.
If I hear one person say "oh, well, [enter animal here] mates for life, what about that?" What about that? Animals also eat their young, roll around in their own shit, attempt to have sex with other species... Animals aren't that intelligent. Just because they do something doesn't mean it's a behavior humans should emulate.
People are simpler and better off when they're not all fucked up about what emotions are going through their heads.
