Ironically, the issues you list would be best solved with a professional prostitution industry and regulatory committee running the show. As for the pair-bonding thing, it reads like it came out of a bible pamphlet. "This idea feels right, and is consistent with my ideology, so it must be right".

"As for the pair-bonding thing, it reads like it came out of a bible pamphlet. "This idea feels right, and is consistent with my ideology, so it must be right"." Why do you think that? There are objective reasons for parents sticking together - success of the child and the economics of being in a pair tend to positive things. Although I will say that I don't know of any resources that investigate these on things like polygamy - they focus on the common stuff like marriage, divorce, and sometimes remarriage.

  Sex isn't what makes people partners...

    True. But given the practicalities it tends to be highly intertwined with a few exceptions.

      > As for the pair-bonding thing, it reads like it came out of a bible pamphlet. I just want you to know your reply with the bible pamphlet thing was really stupid. To address you directly: It's scientifically proven, check out Oxytocin and see about the pair-bonding facilitation it does. I'm not a dummy, but today you spoke to me like one. You won't always get someone to re-engage you, and that won't always be because you're right, sometimes we're just too disgusted to risk further entertaining your disrespect.

        giantg2 is a swell person, I wrongly maligned them in this comment thinking the quote they posted was their own words in a flippant context. I wholeheartedly apologize to giantg2. However for the record, other guy above can beat it.

        You do realize that's a quote, right? Like look at the parent of that comment.

        Ah, you are correct, my mistake. I owe you one. I have edited my comment with an apology, out of respect and as penance for the slander.

        That Oxytocin is produced through MANY interactions that are not sex.
