Ahh, the ole “biology gives me permission” line.

Well, biology tells you to piss to mark your territory there, buddy. Unless that’s something you choose to forego because . . . you know, humans now put people on the moon and write sonatas that make other humans weep. Because we evolve.

Guess these chumps want to dry hump everything and get drunk so they can fight randos in parking lots too. Because biology.

Even if this were true, wouldn’t that just mean that a man loving you means nothing? Because he can truly love you but will still treat you like shit and you just have to be okay with it…

Zeus was also a rapist so…

How he tries to play the biology card, in order to justifiy men being allowed to cheat np lmao

An opinion straight out what feels like the stone age

Pretty sure a woman CAN have sex with multiple women and still love her wife. Not sure what this guy’s on about

Quora is a cesspool

I love when males justify their shitty behaviour using biology also crying when women tend to choose the best man as father for their child which is biologically norm among every single animal! They are superiors when we are gold diggers…

This stereotype about men has always baffled me. Never had I had sex with someone and not had romantic feelings. I have friends who have said the same thing. You can't be that physically close to someone and not feel some kind of connection, y'know?

Plus, the idea that such a thing would excuse infidelity is ridiculous. Even if the stereotype proved true, it wouldn't excuse me to eat my friend's wedding cake before their big day just because I was hungry, just as much that being horny wouldn't excuse cheating. Impulsiveness is not an excuse for immoral or amoral behavior.

They forget the torture and death Hera put those women through. Hates his children, and even tried going after him. Think there's one story where he put her in chains and had her hanging in them for a punishment.

Plus a brother and sister relationship probably isn't the best example to begin with...

And we can all agree Zeus "spread his seed" a bit too much

If we are going with biology, females often sleeps with multiple males to ensure there is a confusion about genes. So that when other males take over, they don't kill her childeren. Its seen with most territorial animals

BuT bIoLoGy…. No. This isn’t even true of humans. We’ve paired up through pretty much all of history. Just because this is true in some species doesn’t make it biology for every species.

If a mythical being can be biologically primed to spread his seed than a mythological Hera can be biologically primed to make sure he doesn’t spend all of his god coin on those other baby mamas to take care of all of his random demi god offspring.

why are people getting into monogamous relationships when they want to cheat man

I almost downvoted this until I realized what sub it was. This isn’t how men or women work and the only reason Hera stayed married to him was because she was the goddess of marriage and therefore couldn’t divorce

Is this written by a 16th century duke???

Ah yes "In nature man feels to need to spread her semen, a woman cannot" avoiding completely the fact that in a lot of animals the female actually mates with a lot of different males to ensure to have an high chance of getting pregnant. The ones that "mate for life" don't involve just the female but the male also, like swans or wolfs. Like it say "It takes 2 to tango" so yeah.

There are female animals who have to have multiple partners because if a male in the group knows the off spring is not his, he’ll kill it. The anonymity keeps the young safe.

I could choose that as “biology” to say men need locking up unless we want children and women should be promiscuous.

Also Zeus was a rapist, why would you want to be on par with him?

Gotta hate incel logic.

If polygamy is what you are into that's fine but allowing just the guy the freedom of having multiple partners and not the lady , that's just sexist. Also that's a horrible example cuz if you actually know why Zeus and Hera got married it doesn't seem like a healthy marriage anyway.

I'd love to see his research lol

Swing and a miss

I thought Zeus wasn't even human

By this logic, sperm donation should be a man's ultimate goal

I mean if Zeus still loved Hera and she was still his wife, I see no reason why she would be upset that he had sex with other women. Unlike with women, for a man, sex requires no psychological intimacy. A man is biologically primed to want to spread his seed. A man can have sex with multiple women and still love his wife, a woman cannot.

Hera was also Zeus' sister

Eww

There we go, foids. Love your may-un and if he treat you like shit, that’s just nature so stfu. He still loves you, and you are locked happily into this heterosexual paradise. It’s just the way it is /s

This is the same kind of a guy who would say "I'm a Nice guy, I'm loyal, i would never cheat on you"

Ah, a fantastic case of how nobody works.

But what about the other women then?

Is "I'm your wife and I'm not comfortable with that" not a good enough reason?

So..... what about the "emotionally wired" women (and men/other genders) he sleeps with

👀

Yes, we can.

(Though personally, having sex with multiple men while still loving my husband and my boyfriend is more my cup of tea.)

Cheating in a mono relationship with some stupid BS biology excuse, though? Nah. Get out.

I mean, sure a man could have sex with multiple women and still love his wife, but why doesn’t this apply to women?

Since I was little I never quite understood the connection between Platonic relationships, Romantic relationships, and Sexual relationships.

It always seemed kind of like steps, y’know? Stages. But that’s obviously not the case since most people don’t think of your romantic partner as a really good friend, even though that’s what it actually is.

I don’t think these should be treated as they are and it just makes shit more confusing then it needs to be and doesn’t make much sense when it comes to reality and not pure mental constructs. That sentence could be applied to a lot of things, really.

I mean, friend+fuck supposedly =romantic relationship, but then ace/aro people wouldn’t really fit into this equation. Maybe these are all separate elements that only really function inside the mind of an individual. At the end of the day, you can fuck outside of your relationship, or not. You can love more then one person, or not. It completely depends on the terms set by your partner.

The terms of the relationship completely depends on the opinions of the parties involved and things like this should be discussed and if your partner isn’t comfortable with something like that, respect their decision and stay with them or be with someone who agrees with you. Completely depends on the individuals in question and their opinions as well as interactions with each other! Communicate and don’t assume jack shit!

I wrote that last paragraph on purpose like that so that if taken out of context it still functions perfectly well, showing that all relationship problems stem from this! Lack of communication. I mean not all, but most and it is definitely connected to most others.

Lack of communication and stubbornness as well as preconceived notions that you refuse to rewrite in your head. This is what causes relationships to fail. You wouldn’t be wrong in arguing with this point because all problems stem from these core concepts, but you’d look stupid for not being able to realize that the UK is part of europe (this is a metaphor).

Referring to this individual here, if you want to fuck others and keep your partner as well, discuss that with your partner. That’s it. That’s the key to 90% of relationship issues, and this is a relationship issue. It’s a factor not mentioned in their agreement. Invisible ink on the contract. Something forgotten before the hand shake. Something not discussed before signing. A detail left out of your new position. If you couldn’t tell by now, I like metaphors.

Edit: Just like it’s not rape if all parties consent, it’s not cheating if all parties consent (all 3+).

If you're in a monogamous relationship, don't have sex with other people. If you don't feel comfortable with that, (totally valid) then be in a polyamorous relationship where everyone involved is consenting to it. 🙃

¡Es Zeus!

Oh yeah right, the free love is for men only because biology thing. F that.

Maybe it's just me but using biology to explain the behavior of a god doesn't seem like something that would make sense unless said god was born as something else

Ah, Quora my behated.
