> Also, if you are in a relationship, having friendships with other females will likely be a problem. What do you suppose a monogamous bi person would do? All this normalized controlling jealousy out there is so strange and sad to me as someone in open relationships full of bi people. We're happy for each other if someone has a good time when we're apart, we all hang out together and have a good time, even go to furry cons and get up to shenanigans together. From what I recall of a lecture I once listened to on human sexual behaviors, the drive to at least have encounters with multiple people is very common and makes evolutionary sense as far as adding diversity to your offspring pool. I'll go as far as to say the expectation of strict monogamy is a repressive social norm that leads to needless heartache and shame from the effects of cheating, on both parties - of course breaking the boundaries of a relationship is one's own avoidable choice, and the cheater is wrong to do so and bears the blame here, but the fact that it's such a common occurance supports the argument here - the repressed urge was so strong it overrode their care for the relationship. How many relationships would have been saved if sex wasn't seen as such a big deal? In the age of contraception, PreP, vaccines, etc. I don't see the value to society in strict sexual monogamy as a norm.
