It's not about possessiveness. It's jealousy. They are quite different, despite popular opinion.

By one definition they are different yes, but by the other... jealousy is to be 'fiercely protective or vigilant of one's rights or possessions'. I was using this one, not its relation to whether or not someone is covetous Which you're right... they are not identical, but they are very similar under this usage, and if one is experiencing jealousy: there's a good chance they are being possessive. Not necessarily the other way around, of course

Regardless, I don't get either possessiveness or jealousy (under any form), so I really don't understand, even if I understand why people get that way. What causes a person to consider a person their property

Also, it is the emotional part that is the problem, not the sexual closeness. I think being intimate with other people cheapens it for me. I'll never see the point.

If having emotional closeness to people cheapens the experience, why do you have friends? Is there no point in sharing burdens, sensitivity to emotions, discovering more about people you care about?

While I don't understand jealousy, I don't envision or declare that I'll never be able to understand it

I don't want to have sex with people I don't care about, and if I care about someone else and have sex with that person, why the hell am I in a relationship?

Why would you have sex with people you don't care about?

If you care about someone else and have sex with them, why does that throw a relationship into question?

If he is never surprised as a result of omniscience... no, he does not
