……… can you be ‘in love’ with more than one woman (or man) at the same time?

Yes absolutely. Much easier than you might imagine in fact.

I wouldn’t recommend it though…..it has the potential to very seriously do your head in. Not that many people do so willingly and intentionally of course.

Aaaaahh… Harem. Seraglio. Marvellous.

See that’s the thing: are we only sposed to be ‘in love’ with one person at a time? Are we actually meant to be completely monogamous, or does the social insistence on monogamy cloud our subconcious minds to thinking this?

Woppit; have you ever been In Love?

its all cultural innit

Are we actually meant to be completely monogamous

Men, yes emotionally, but not necessarily physically. Because it gives their genes the best chance of survival.

But for a man, to have a woman who is not physically monogamous, whatever she feels emotionally for other men, is an absolute disaster ……his genes stand much less chance of surviving if he spends his time and effort raising other men’s genes.

Woman just need any man with an emotional commitment, for their genes to survive.

Hence the irreconcilable difference between men and women. Men need a woman who above all else is physically committed, whilst women on the other hand, need above all else, a man who is emotionally committed. There’s a fair bit of difference between the two.

And yes, it’s all down to just animal instincts in the end I’m afraid.
