The Redemption of a Porn Star, Mr. Marcus in his own words... April 2015 | Page 16

Intimate Freedom ON THE OTHER HAND This concept may seem a bit foreign and downright crazy to most but many are claiming to be monogamous when they are in fact; not.   Polyamory works? Polyamory Could it be right for you? by Cidney Greene P olyamory is a word everyone should get acquainted with. It means “many loves” and it refers to the desire or practice of having more than one intimate relationship at a time with the consent of all parties involved. We all know people who have something like this before right? They are with one person yet seeing another. It’s called terms like “cheating” or “creeping”. However, there is one factor missing in set ups like those; honesty. This is the beauty of polyamory.   We poly folks are not to be confused with swingers. There is nothing wrong with swinging at all but poly people like myself prefer much deeper connections; hence “many loves”. There are many poly lovers who swing but most swingers are not poly. 16 • Upscale Desires Magazine • www.upscaledesires.com So many walk around torn and tortured because they cannot chose between two or more people that they adore. The reason the choice is so challenging is because it is not a choice that should be made. One should never have to choose between two things that feel good to them.   Why Not Monogamy Monogamy is one of the many social norms that people just can’t seem to stick to. That is because human beings are not wired that way. We are wired to desire variety, which is why we do. Asking someone to only want one person for life is the equivalent of asking one to only eat fish and fries for all eternity. While it is not impossible, it surly isn’t fun. Ready to dig deeper?   We have been brainwashed into thinking that love is finite, that it is not abundant. So therefore we cannot possibly share it! If we do then the tiny amount of love that we are allow will be taken from us. So we must figure out a way to control the people we love because if we don’t, we will be left unloved. This flawed thinking is the cause of so much misery heartbreak and pain. The truth is love is absolutely abundant! You prove this daily as you love all sixteen of your cousins! The same principal applied here. Love was never designed to be rationed. Secondly, the idea that love is something that someone has to give you is ludicrous. You are love itself. Attempting to control others from a place of lack is a sure way to end up in Miseryville. So do yourself a favor and drop that nasty habit. Polyamory is more spiritual than anything. It is not just about sex (even though that part is lovely). I have only scratched the surface here but if you will open your heart to the ideas presented here you will save yourself lots of grief, guilt and sorrow. Who knows… you might just save your relationship. For more information visit. www.totalliberation.us
