  • Look man, the more I hear this argument the more I want to get into a Ph D program to figure out a better way to describe how fucking weird the Strong force is.

    Sure, it “increases with distance” but the amount of energy you put in separating two particles bound by the strong force increases the probability of creating a new particle from the vacuum and then that distance snaps instantly. It has a practical limit if it is within the bounds of spacetime.

    Edit: sorry I hit save before I finished

    So not only is it special strong, if we define it with the only known things we can define anything with, it breaks all sorts of other things. And since the entire universe isn’t bound together into one tight strongly held particle possibly means that the only reason the universe exists at all is because defining the strong force forced particles out of nothing.

    The risk just increases with multiple partners, regardless of “exclusivity.”

    And no, the second does not get solved by time management and communication - you literally have less time to spend with each wife.

    Out of one year, if you have 100 hours to spend, a truly equal amount of time is 50/50. The man gets 100 hours of intimacy, but each wife is starved of those 50 hours. If you increase the amount of time you can spend to 200 hours, then an equal split is now 100/100 and each wife is starved of 100 hours of intimacy. There is no way to prevent this with multiple partners.

    Ignoring the sexist reasoning behind polygamy, there are practical ones too.

    I have one dick.

    Its risky to have sex with multiple partners. The more partners, the more that risk of STIs increases.

    The amount of intimacy (not sex, intimacy) a spouse gets with a partner decreases the more spouses one has. At some point “starvation of intimacy” will occur, leading to a breakdown in the relationship.

    Edit: I’m sorry y’all. This conversation is gross and full of bigoted male-centric talking points. Polyamory is one thing, but polygamy is fully about the man. If you refuse to see that part, you’re just an asshole trying to justify an ancient means of having power over women.
