Re: Re: Re: Isn't it human nature to feel hurt...
Inuit people, Samoan Islanders, and various other tribal societies have little or no concepts of sexual jealousies, or, rather, they did not pre-Western societal influences came into play.
I believe this is tied to our concept of relationships equalling ownership, rather than our innate human natures.
Look, I'm not naive about this. Even within Polyamoury, jealousy and how to deal with it is a hotly debated topic, which many find difficult to overcome and deal with. It's definately not the easiest emotion to wean ourselves from.
I just firmly believe that monogamy is not the natural human state, but that this does not equate an inability to form loving relationships.
Mind you, I'm just slutty like that.
