Some people tangle it all up with everything else. That some sort of singular commitment to one another makes it more meaningful. I don't think that's true. Sex is sex and emotions are emotions and the two aren't tied together always. If two people want to make that singular commitment, lovely for them. But it seems silly to be the standard way everyone always does it. It's...limiting.

[Lust hasn't engaged in any conventional relationships herself, but she's observed them from afar. It all seemed so messy and complicated. Especially when it came to commitments and monogamy and clinging to the idea that wanting to have more than one lover was some reflection on personal feelings rather than physical desire.]

Well of course you'd say that. I'm not sure how to judge, speculatively, but you're attractive and good to me and I enjoy our flirtations.
