    I think the concept of sexual cheating is obsolete and malignant psychological evolutionary flotsam that should be stamped out. That those who wish to reinforce its social presence should be bullied and ostracized for it.

      I disagree. Violence is not the answer, and especially not against people that are living in a way that doesn’t hurt others. If a couple (or polycule) wants to be sexually exclusive, they have the right to do so, and they do not hurt others because it’s not a social imposition for everyone.

      Edit: I mean, I understand questioning why we choose it, “deconstructing”, as we now call it, but after that, I think it’s an intimate matter.

        Yes, I only applied as much force and violence as the normative consensus. I mean… not even close since they used to stone adulterers to death so.

        I think claims in favour of sexual exclusivity enforcement need to be taken skepticism at minimum but ideally string opposition.

        Also need to avoid mote and bailey arguments about this.
