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/

I've known I was poly for nearly a decade, and the entire time it's been 100%, no question, no doubt, not once. I'm not attracted to monogamous people. I can't imagine existing in a monogamous agreement. Polyamory feels like a deep and unchangeable part of me.

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.

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.

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?

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?
