Here are my thoughts. Do you have a mother? Do you have a father? Do you have siblings? Aunt? uncle? Cousins? Spouse? Child(ren)? Do you love them all? If you had multiple yes answers, you are polyamorous. Why are we reducing this topic to sexual encounters? Maybe because too often we are CULTured to be obsessed over the “sexual” experience of life? Perhaps it’s a mistake that we have only one word for love, and love has a wide range of experiential opportunities. Consider this: the Greek language has 8 different words for love. I can recognize and acknowledge that views regarding polyamory societally are trending toward conceptualizing it toward the sexual, when that is only one minute aspect of what has a much broader and exponentially nuanced spectrum. Just my thoughts. Btw, I am married and only sexually involved with my spouse, but I DO love (amory) many (poly)
I can attest being in a poly relationship has nothing to with the age related fears he brings up, at 2:10 give or take, if this was the case why don't more poly people choose a younger partner to add to the relationship? Most poly people choose another person the age of their current partner, sometimes even old than their current partner, sometimes younger but no where near is younger the majority, most of us pick someone in the same age range. There is also nothing about being stuck with one person, because in polyamory, you are stuck with multiple people lol, adding 1 or 2 more isn't necessarily going to make you feel less stuck if stuck is something you feel to begin with. We add an extra person because it means more hands in the bedroom 😂, we add one more cause it means someone else to help do the chores, add someone because it increases time spent socializing. Oddly this is actually beneficial for introverts who do enjoy social interaction sometimes, so having an extra person just around the house, means when they are in the mood there is someone there for sure, sometimes with monogamy schedules don't sync up as easily. Also sexually sometimes 2 partner isn't in the mood but another is, and if you've got 3 sometimes the 3rd is in the mood.
Yes there are also downsides, many, but marriage already has many downside in general, you gain some benefits in areas, and loose some in others. Everyone has to do their own pros and cons to decide what works for them. And you want to make sure you are secure in the 1 to 1 relationship you start with, I don't recommend polyamory to solve a currently existing relationship problem, that's silly, you need a strong relationship already, and you have to be above average at interpersonal skills.
At 435, Rogan bring up polyamory as a solution to shitty relationships, and again, this is the absolute wrong approach. Some people do make it work, but they are the exception not the rule, polyamory is best when you are already in an excellent relationship, but both of you want some extra fun, variety, and utility. This is for a certain type of person that is emotionally adventurous, and very secure in a good relationship already.

A person wjo isnt polyamory doesnt have anything to offer to the dialogue.
I can't even handle one woman. Let alone 2 or 3. The bitchiness and backstabbing each other would be crazy.

This guy has absolutely no idea what he’s talking about and has every concept about polyamory incorrect
