Here comes the jesters, one, two, three...
The fleeting feeling of an unceremonious orgasm is shared only for a moment until you put on your Levi’s and head home to your oversized bed. Is that what you’re chasing? If so, then pursue it with vigor and make Casanova out to be a mere casual practitioner of promiscuity. But what else is there in a life denying monogamy? There are mountains to be climbed, people to be pleasured, pieces of art to be purchased and psychedelics to be experienced. But can’t you do all those things with another partner? Of course! But most will not, and, instead, fall into a routine monotonous as your monogamous sex life.
Or are you unable to handle the emotional turmoil that comes from sharing a life with a single partner? Are you unable to face your own inadequacies and fear that the ONE you love will leave you? Are you simply unwilling to put in the work? Are you running? Nothing good in life comes easy. And the same could be said for a single sexual conquest… but it is ephemeral…
Maybe the Mormons have it right. After all, they crush the stock market; purchasing Gamestop at it’s low and quadrupling their Tesla shares. Maybe the Church of Mormon is really ahead of the curve and the general silly perception is purported by a reverse-recency bias. They seem happy over there. By “over there” I mean where the Mormon’s are. Shall I convert to Mormonism? Not today. But dadgummit I will watch their money moves!
I know, I know... I'm presenting a false dilemma. But where’s the fun in playing by the rules? Monogamy can be meaningful and fulfilling but it isn’t a necessary mode of being for a life of meaning. Therefore, I declare, it doesn’t matter if you choose a life of monogamy or promiscuity. 'Long as your attitude is pure.
