Polyamory is a choice for some people, but not all. I remember trying to feel bothered when I caught my first (monog) bf sexting someone else because i thought i was supposed to.. When I learned that polyamory was a thing I was like 'oh, that is obviously exactly what i am'. 1/

For me, it's not a choice - it's not like someone chooses to try intermittent fasting, where it's a preference you can flip on and off depending on the mood or circumstance. It affects my sexual response, my automatic emotions. The thought of monogamy is intensely repulsive.

In my anthropology class, there was evidence that humans are naturally polyamorous, due to the size of our testicles!

You are incapable of romantic jealousy?

I’m not Aella but I want to reply to your question. “Jealousy” may be universal but it is conceptualized differently by all. For some it’s a debilitating nightmare that results in automatic response behaviors that are dramatic, violent, controlling. (1)

We need some good behavior genetics on 'polyamorousness' as a potentially heritable, stable trait. 'Sociosexuality' is moderately heritable, but it's not the same thing.

Been looking for such data for years myself. Is there anything good out there? I keep turning up goose-eggs. All I run into is thinly-disguised political screeds, which leaves me to my own armchair theorizing--which, while fun, probably doesn't actually help clarify anything.

Huh. For my (outside observer's) perspective, there seem to be several things that go under the name of "polyamory". Do you ever find that other poly people are not doing the thing you mean in this thread?

When the only definition is that it's not monogamy, it leaves a lot of room for creativity. Polyamory is potentially as varied as the number of practitioners.
