Do you believe in monogamy? View 501 Answers

I join the crowds who say "What kind of fool question is this?" and "Monogamy is not Santa Claus". Does monogamy care whether I believe in it? Would monogamy exist if I didn't believe in it?

But the intent of the question!

I believe that it is possible, in general, for some human beings to behave monogamously. I believe that some human beings are wired to pair-bond monogamously. I know that I am one of the humans that requires an intense pair-bond in order to behave monogamously, and that forcing me to behave monogamously in the absence of that pair-bond is a recipe for disaster.

I also know that it is unlikely for me to achieve a mutual pair-bond like that at this time. So monogamy can go suck it.

I knew I should have taken more math courses.

The real question is what the lowest probability of preferring man that is allowed to translate arabic for the military. "Sorry, you are under .95, we researched your porn, you're out."

What about the people who watch pr0n that's marketed at a different demographic?

What do you mean by demographic here? like http://www.furnitureporn.com/ ? "I would not screw that man, but the couch he is sitting on is HOTT!"

You think I look at heterosexual porn for the men?

[raranax.livejournal.com]

By demographic you mean porn for hetero-men, porn for hetero women, porn for homo women, porn for homo men?

I think that the lines between those demographics are too blurry. Just because it is marketed at one demographic does not mean that it could not be marketed at another.

How would a theoretical Heterosexuality Police be able to tell that I was watching porn with heterosexual pairings for the women?

Eye-tracking would give it away, although haxxoring your webcam might be seen as being a /little/ invasive.

For extra-special invasiveness, there's the 'are you actually gay' test, which involves wearing a device which measures your level of arousal while they show you various types of porn and non-porn images.

I think that if they're going to be cocks and ban gay people from military service, 'don't ask, don't tell' is better than 'run a test to find out'.

In the case above I was thinking more along the lines of him watching man-man porn.

Also I think most heterosexual porn is more focused on the woman. From the little I have seen it is mostly a girl and then a cock pokes on from some side of the screen.
