Canadian Politics Today

Sexual hunger is not like food hunger in that you don't need sex to live but it IS an appetite and as such I was thinking about World Sexual Hunger as a metric.  I have a feeling that World Sexual Hunger is on the decline owing to religion's declining influence, and the pervasiveness of liberal culture.  There is a new kind of prudishness and necessary re-building of morality around sexuality to allow for theoretically unlimited sexual expression within the bounds of consent of course.

But we now have a situation, at least in the west, where a person's private sexual life is largely regarded as out-of-bounds in public life including legislation.  I say 'largely' as there are still 90% of countries that restrict women's behaviour legally (as per an interview with the female head of the IMF recently).

The next big change is the acknowledgement/allowance of polygamy in public life.  I see this everywhere in my circles and while I can't personalize how it would work, I can understand it intellectually.  My marriage is the centre of my life and I can't see risking it, even if I could fantasize indulging temptation.  That's really as far as that goes for me, but others see it differently.

Do you agree with my assessment ?

I stand corrected again today, I should have said polyamory.

I knew a woman who was a mistress ... for years with a married man. He paid for near everything for her, apt, clothes, gifts, biz trips, to name a few. I'm guessing he was rich and she asked if I wanted to do that, she knew lots men who would love to have me - I was like, uhh... no, but thanks for the education tho. lol. Polyamory, a woman with say what, 3 -5 hubby's? wow, guess they would be like, Mr. this week-day in the date book? it would definitely be quite some sort of arrangement for all parties involved but not too dissimilar from ****?

It's basically **** with longer term verbal contracts.

With the potential for deep, fulfilling love.
