What books should I read to learn why polyamory is bad and monogamy is good (or the other way around)? I'm honestly kinda worried about this. To me it feels intuitive that letting everyone fuck whoever they want is morally reprehensible, but I don't have any good arguments, besides something vague about "the structure of society."

I'm going to be straight here. I am a cuckold, but I am also a white nationalist. I believe that whites have contributed more to humanity than any other race, space travel, anti—biotics the list goes on. But when it comes down to it, blacks are just better at fucking. Theres no shame in admitting this. There is no shame in admitting that despite the infinite intellectual and moral superiority of the white race, black cock is just better at pleasing women.

The reason white women are turning from the cause and running to niggers is simply because they are not being sexually satisfied. Can you blame them? If you dont get enough to eat at home youre going to go out to eat. The only way to save the white race from miscegenation is cuckolding. My pure white wife is my angel, the apple of my eye. And I want nothing but the best for her. So every friday she gets to have her fill of big black cock. And our relationship goes on like normal. We love each other, and plan on having a child soon. She also shares my red pilled beliefs.

Monogamy is a tool of the jew. Just give it a chance once. Its exhilarating. Theres something deeply majestic about watching a toned muscular black stud going in and out of a beautiful white woman. Try it once.

None. There aren't any books. Marriage is cold war propaganda, and people used to just live in big piles whether they fucked or not.
Physical intimacy needs to be fostered more- between friends, as much as lovers.

Why do you expect Polyamory to be bad? You have more than one friend, don't you? Romance is just another type of love.

Depends what you mean by that. I love them, and we do things that are physically intimate as well as what you'd consider "typical relationship behaviors" I guess.

The only thing that we don't do is have sex with one another. My best friend and I enjoy kissing, and being physically (but platonically) intimate, while my other friend doesn't enjoy it at all, but even we sleep together.

To be fair, I am asexual, and I think if I weren't me and my best friend might have had sex already (I was invited to a threesome) but we both have issues with sex on different end of the spectrum.

We've talked about our relationship a lot and we are both fine with marrying one another, so...

Personally, I already feel like I'm in a relationship with my friends- my two most prominent ones especially. They are both very special to me, but very different from one another. They both provide different things that I need, and when they get along, I'm also happy, even if I can't participate. I don't feel jealous of either of them. (Although I do get jealous of other people) Honestly, I just can't imagine a romantic polyamorous relationship being that much different.

Take that how you will.

Relationships can take all kinds of healthy form is people are just honest about their intentions and priorities. It hardly ever works in any sustained way but that's not because there is a correct decision-making style that applies to one's genitals. These relationships fall apart because people are possessive and selfish and dishonest about their intentions and priorities.

Being honest about feelings is the be all, end all of relationship advice. Even if it's saying something like "I'd like hug", or "I need to be alone." You need to be able to say it honestly, and the person needs to be able to say it to you, without fear of rejection or rebuke. I very much encourage my friends to say what they feel, but it can be HARD. We really are taught to be afraid of being honest. "I don't want to be whiny" or "I don't want to say anything, because it's stupid and doesn't make sense."

The book Sex at Dawn became wildly popular a few years ago as a "biological" justification for polyamory. It's trash and the authors intentionally misrepresent their sources.

You are correct that romantic love is associated with that, especially now with Hollywood culture it is, but to me that is just a perversion of the concept of love/affection. We can play the semantics game all day, but my definition of love (romantic or not) is not osessive-possessive.

No, not monogamy. I'm not saying monogamy is wrong, just that the idealized view of romance is deeply flawed and people sort of cling to it, because that's what's been sold to us.
"There's that one perfect person, who completes you perfectly."
That kind of thing. It's building a house on marshland, since people are just fuck ups in general. It's doomed for failure. Monogamy is just one of the... core principles of this fake hollywood romance ideal. It's not wrong, but that's not true for everyone, and it's not the most important part of a relationship. I think it comes naturally, if you focus on whats important with the right people.

I don't have an ideal I would die for, but three people in my life I would sacrifice myself for (none of the family, though I love my family very much). Do you think wanting to sacrifice yourself is needed on order to be passionate?

Wrong. I never said that, and I don't believe it. I said that romantic love is complicated, and some people have different needs than other people, and communication is the most important aspect of a relationship.
>Romantic Love is rooted in market ideology
Wrong. I never said that and I don't believe it. I said that the romantic IDEAL is a product of what's been marketed as romance.
>your own isolated consumers engaging in carefree shop around trend of the week relationships
Wrong. It's neither true nor did I ever imply that was the types of relationships I engage in. I have two very close friends that I don't have sex with, but we engage in physical, nonsexual intimacy. I don't have sex at all.

Sorry, I should be more specific. Your fantasy is your belief that love ought to be what the majority thinks as love.

1) Promiscuity has been denounced for many thousands of years, in many cultures. It would be arrogant to think all those people had it wrong and a couple of modern gender thinkerists have it right.

2) A woman's self interest is roughly to always mate with the best man available, but this is not necessarily the best option for society as a whole.

Polygamy has worked in many cultures. Cultures that are traditionally monogamous have always had struggles with adultery. This is why adultery/cuckolding is such a common theme in Western literature. Today, when it's much easier and not as socially unacceptable to get a divorce due to the more secular public climate, we're seeing the failure of strict monogamy in all the divorces.

Just read a classic Chinese novel like the Dream of the Red Chamber.

'Wives and Concubines' by Su Tong is also an interesting read, although much more contemporary.

Remember, polygamy was legal in Hong Kong until the 1970s afaik.

it's called polyandry. Tibetans practised it, usually between brothers, due to the extreme living conditions.

Cato would be more appropriate, but your meme-tier level of discourse precludes you from any serious grasp of the subject, not to mention your own personal life and behaviour.

It's a serious question, you're talking about the civilization that publicly watched women get raped by baboons in the Coliseum. The promiscuity and sexual irreverance of the Roman elite precluding its inevitable degredation and downfall.

Most people have enough troubles navigating around a single romantic relationship. For every long-term partner you gain, the amount of in-laws increases by at least two. You can also expect to go through the list of typical couple arguments once again.
