I prefered the creepy black forest ambience of the novella over its aggressive homoeroticism, but that may be because I was first exposed to the story in the form of a spooky OTR adaptation before I ever read it.

>>12911750
Because of deep social pressures, parings are all that is allowed, so it is still very forbidden to *be* a bisexual. Bisexual men and women end up having to choose one lifestyle or another, and maybe they're suited to do so, but what happens quite often is their chosen way of life shifts. A most common story is the mother who divorces her husband and "turns lesbian". This is just the bisexual she always was trying to come out. Some couples just turn frigid early in life and never have much of a sex life for the rest of their years. Both could be bisexual, who knows.

Men have always been fascinated by lesbians because they secretly tend to get off to the idea. Women who write about lesbians meanwhile often tend to be gay themselves.

It’s no surprise it’s a common theme.

If you actually did a bit of research you'd actually know that these "pairing" rules come more naturally to humans than you think. Oxytocin plays a huge role on this and most pagan tribes in europe and asia did already have pairings as the norm, long before the christian boogey man happeared.
It really is laughable to see these ideological sex addicts trying to destroy and shit on something that would naturally come again. Even more laughable in trying to destroy the state which is their main source of protection in case of the women.
The State is built on moral and ethical standards so its only natural to give some other social status to those who marry and bring childreen into the world and sustain the system.

But this isnt the your case, you say you dont want to impose anything when you fact you do, you dont want people to be "free" you just want them to adopt another hierarchy that favours you and your interests and you mask it.

I wasnt thinking about that, but i bet the "consequences" would be very little when there is no massive state to hunt the person down.
And freedom can very well mean that you can dominate others as long as you can keep the power status, which for sure would happen the moment the state goes out.
The freedom you really strive for is simply not in my self-interest.

By giving better benefits to those who marry, have kids and raise them well. Atleast in my country.
They incline the individuals to try to work their way around their relationship problems instead of dissolving everything in one go. Which might be good in the long term (it can also not be though).

Folded in each other’s wings,

Tipp’d with gold for awful kings.
Moon and stars gaz’d in at them,

That’s the problem, everyone being happy and having sex will just make me more miserable. Also, some people want to live one type of life while others don’t. I got one like the idea of marriage because it suits me, it’s never going to happen but it suits me, it doesn’t mean I don’t tolerate others that want to live their life differently- it’s just that their life is for me. It’s just me, that’s how I want I live, it’s got its flaws but I like the idea - I am not you. We all need to find our true selves...destroy the old world and replace it with a new one...abraxxas....

I am a very sentimental person, I can only stand/want to be with the single person I love; too much people both takes away the specialness of it, and carries to much trouble.
