to be fair, demisexuality makes sense as a dialectical move (read: countersignal) if you're looking at young-urban-liberal areas. consider that much praise for monogamy inherits from Christian social norms, which are flailing esp in cities...

what I don't really understand is the appeal in continuing to promote it, when it's so unsustainable and everyone likes orgasms and novel partners.

looping back to this I think the main issue is transaction costs and specifically search frictions pretty generally finding novel partners is a much more costly road to orgasm than picking up your wife or POSSLQ or w/e and throwing them into your bed in the next room

I generally don't so much 'look for' novel partners as I am 'accepting of them as opportunities arise' which over the long run has proven excellent at both acquiring partners and minimising drama
