I'm not arguing that everybody should go poly, or that it's best for everybody. I'm arguing: 1-Monog ppl have lots of severe misconceptions about polyamory 2-Monogamy is in the water supply; a lot of people don't 'actually' have a poly option or know they'd be happier poly

I wonder, do you think poly ppl might have misconceptions about monogamy?

Very few. Poly people often have been monogamous before, and are *constantly* exposed to monogamous relationships - their friends, romantic movies, their parents, etc. If I had to pick one, it'd be overestimating the amount of sex drive monog people have?

I take your point re: representation. "If I had to pick one, it'd be overestimating the amount of sex drive monog people have?" This might be a misconception. 🙂 Are you suggesting that drive is intrinsically linked with action? My guess is that lots of ppl have lots of drives

but most only act on a fraction of their desires.
