Is there a right way to romantically connect with others?

RE: Is there a right way to romantically connect with others?
(September 11, 2016 at 12:33 am)Kernel Sohcahtoa Wrote: I began pondering this question during and after I watched Her (2013).  An interesting theme was that of polygamous and monogamous relationships.  Specifically, are they both equally valid and equally ethical venues of pursuing romantic connection? Is the path we take toward seeking romantic connection the result of social conditioning, biological hard-wiring, a combination of the two, or do you have another explanation? Do you have any further insights? Thanks.

P.S.  I'm looking forward to reading everyone's insights and wisdom.

I would say no, there is no correct way. Morally speaking, the most important thing is honesty. As long as all parties are happy with the arrangement and suitably equipped to make such a decision, things are usually okay.

If you define "correct" in a very narrow way, then you could come up with arguments for one way being preferable to another.
