    Am I the only one who has literally never cared about Star Wars at any point? I watch the movies and forget about them like a day later.

    I haven’t read the Bible

    Since we are talking about sex

    I regret a lot of things I have done

    I’ve always had a bad feeling in my gut the day following hooking up with some girl. I guess shame is the word

    I personally would have rather waited than hook up with any of them

    @MULLERTJE i get what you are saying, depends on morals I guess but for me it’s a battle of temptation I guess.

    I kind of hate looking back at it all, yes it’s the past, but it’s still a part of me.

    And yes I can “start fresh” but it has still been done

    Just my 2 cents for any of you goons who want to go think with your ***** instead of your brain

    Idk if this was even related to what you guys were talking about tbh

    Not important if it's related, I was off track too. I get what you're saying but I don't regret anything I have done. I do regret stuff I haven't done haha. But yeah, for me it's pretty clear. Your **** works way sooner than your brain so a little guidance and information goes a long way.

    It was a good read @Xandrith , but a small point of critique may be the 'dramatic' abandoning of children and generalizing idea of every succesfull man has had affaires etc. It seems kinda exaggerated from where I'm sitting and I don't see society like that at all. Most divorces are an ego war where the children are always the victim but with a bit of class in the separation, they'll get over it. Having a shitty fighting mariage but still staying together for the kids is always dumber in my book, for the parents themselves at least.

    Marriage isn't a big deal in my book either. A ring and a dress mean nothing to me. And yes I got married, but only for the paperwork like taxes and mortgage. It's just easier and it's free.

    I still haven’t met the girl I’m going to spend the rest of my life with so everytime I **** a girl I feel bad because I want it to just be with my wife. I feel like I’m cheating on a girl who is not even in my life. And eventhough I’m aware I regret having hook ups, I don’t stop because I enjoy it. I’m sorry in advance future wife.

    It's definitely not exaggerated in America, in fact it's a bit behind. That article was written 18 years ago, and the divorce rate and casual sex culture has only compounded since then.

    Do you know what the best predictor for poverty is? Single motherhood. The point of that article, as advertised in the title, was that stigma or "societal shaming" actually works better than legislation, and if we dissolve the ideas of shameful behavior (and therefore by comparison honorable behavior) then things like the single motherhood crisis in America are inevitable. You say that you're only married because of the tax benefits... But it serves a much bigger purpose than you realize. I assume that people around you would likely ostracize you for commiting adultery, which is actually a stronger deterrent than if there were no stigma but a law against it. That was the point. Strong family units are undeniably and verifiably the foundation of any healthy society, so he was saying that we should go back to discouraging polygamy if we care about the integrity of that sort of thing.

    Another reason would be something I mentioned earlier. The Pareto distribution. In a society where monogamy isn't the status quo, a relatively small percentage of men are uber successful with women, and they definitely will take advantage of that. This leaves a large group of disgruntled men out, and they tend to take out their passions on things like violence, which leads to war. The Middle East is a good example (not that the only reason for violence in the Middle East is polygamy).

    100 percent of the people that have sex die.

    Still willing to go willy nilly?

    Well adultery was only illegal here untill 1971 but I don't know really what the laws are these days about that. For me it is just a simple principle but for some people monogamy isn't just that easy. There is also the other side of the argument where people weren't monogamous at all for centuries or even thousands of years and perhaps polygamy is even part of evolution. But to be honest I haven't dug at all into that.

    Is aldultery a crime or felony in all states?

    Even if it were true that our natural state is one of polygamy, it doesn't matter. It's obviously not good for society at large all the way down to the individual.

    War and tribalism is a natural state of humanity, I would argue even more so than polygamy. Is war not a bad thing?

    And no, adultery is not illegal. That's not even really the point. The point is that societal "stigma" does a better job of regulating our behavior than even laws, which is why we should't be so quick tear them out in the name of so called "progress."
