And if everyone involved is an informed, consenting adult and there's open and clear communication between them, why force polyamorous people to be monogamous? Well thats good and all but on a show? I hate watching the Kardashians and Jersey shore

because it had that type of stuff in it. It creeps me out because its kinda well..

reminds me of a certain creepy religious sect kinda thing. OUAT and shows like Dr. Who

aren't Kardashian-y. Which was one aspect that drew me to them. But heyy thats just my take on it. ;D I'm not familiar enough with/have never seen the Kardashians or Jersey Shore, so I can't speak to that.

But in the event that by "certain creepy religious sect" you mean the FLDS church, I'd like to clarify that polygamy as practiced by the FLDS isn't what I'm talking about when I talk about polyamory—the FLDS style of polygamy includes lovely things like child brides and child abuse, inbreeding, and the nature of the community robs women of the ability to adequately consent. Polyamory is something that happens between consenting, un-brainwashed adults who, for whatever reason, aren't in to monogamy, and it can range from swinging, committed long-term partnerships between multiple people, open relationships, etc. Yeah but on shows? Not something I'd personally like. I mean to me it's kinda like cigarettes.

Yeah they are glamorous on T.V. Seems harmless. People want to mimic what they see.

But whats the reality of it in our society? Cancer, one goes broke, Ect..

Thats why it'd bug me to see that.
