Understanding The Evolution That Led Termite Kings And Queens To Become Strictly Monogamous » TwistedSifter

The benefits of monogamy in humans (even if it has fallen out of style recently) are easy to…

Nice paper out in @PNASNews on the #evolution of #monogamy. It shows that monogamy worldwide mostly appeared as a result of competition for heritable wealth at the individual level, rather than as a way to promote cooperation at the group level.

You know what would probably blow the mind of your average monogamist? Asexual polyamory people. The next time someone finds out I'm poly and jumps right to talking about sex and threesomes, I'm going to bring up that counterexample and let them sit with what that says about their ideas of love and relationships.

A scientist produced a monogamy ranking of dozens of mammals, including humans.

From @WSJ: "Humans are less monogamous than some mice but rank higher than one breed of sheep."

My first iOS app is finally available on the App Store! I am really excited about this and super hyped about everyone who gives it a try or shares it 🥰

Relationship Menu is an app that can help people to reflect on what they need and want in a relationship - alone or together with one or multiple partners.

Get it here: https://apps.apple.com/app/id6746169721

You can also use it on the web: https://relationshipmenu.org

Monopoly is when you switch between monogamy and polyamory, right?

#BooksAgainstNormativity

Hey,
I'd like to start a collection of books, that are great eye-openers against normative concepts.

I have read 2 books so far, that I think fit:

#Ace by #AngelaChen: Maybe the standard work on asexuality and a great book to understand and question allo-normativity (allo(sexual) being the opposite of ace/asexual)

#Platonic by #MarisaGFranco: An homage to platonic partnerships and against romantic normativity or also allo normativity (allo(romantic) being the opposite of aromantic here)

I'm next looking for a book on #RelationshipAnarchy to add to the list. Is there like a go-to book or must read? Please let me know.

Also do you know of any other books, that fit into the collection? It can be about/against any kind of normativity, not just related to gender, relationships and identity.

@adhdtips

Really enjoying the podcast!

A couple of topics I'd love to hear covered:

* Creating a consistent sleep routine - all podcasts seem to focus just on "how to get your brain to stop keeping you awake as you lie in bed". I've literally paid thousands of dollars to coaches, hypnotists etc to help me just to get INTO bed at a consistentish time that gets me 8 hours of sleep. So far to almost no effect. I really don't understand how my diet can be so good, and my sleep times so bad!

* ADHD dating - Does it work better with an ADHD or non ADHD partner?

* ADHD and sex - Is monogamy incompatible with ADHD? Is polyamory, or swinging more compatible, given novelty etc. Or worse, given RSD?

* Building a network of friends with adult ADHD.

My Relationship Menu app now finally supports filtering items by search! You can join the beta here: https://testflight.apple.com/join/4drmtcfm

I would love to add a mode that allows filtering by mode but I haven't figured out how I can add a button after the search field yet in #SwiftUI unfortunately.

EDIT: Beta is available! https://testflight.apple.com/join/4drmtcfm (2nd version is already submitted this one has some visual bugs)

I might have created an iOS Swift version of https://relationshipmenu.org 🙈 Does anyone have an idea for an app name that fits on the home screen? #polyamory #monogamy #relationships

Also started to add an onboarding wizard for new users (not shown on the example menu). Might refine this to add some more elements in the future but it’s there now! #polyamory #relationships #monogamy

Sexual boredom outweighs desire in predicting women’s relationship satisfaction https://www.psypost.org/sexual-boredom-outweighs-desire-in-predicting-womens-relationship-satisfaction/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=mastodon #RelationshipSatisfaction #SexualBoredom #WomenInRelationships #Monogamy #Intimacy

I've been thinking about the social psychological feedback loops that create minima from gradient descent.

So, #authoritarianism is fed by fear, but authoritarianism breeds fear. So when you begin down that road, there is a gravitational pull toward more and more authoritarianism.

Likewise, #polyamory and security are related. It's easier to be #polyamorous if you feel #economically secure, or if you feel a child would be taken care of if it resulted. The more secure you feel the easier polyamory is.

Yet an easy way to feel secure in your relationship is to control it as intensely as possible. #Monogamy creates (real or perceived) security, which countervails the many sources of insecurity in ones life.

The solution to all of these is to create #communities of mutual #trust. Yet, for most of us, the closest thing we have to such a #community is #work - work where the community dividends are appropriated for private profit.

Every solution leads back to forming #tribes. Make communities where you know people personally and you have mutual trust and can engage in mutual aid.

Every day this becomes harder. Every day the forces around us close in; divide us. We come upon one another as strangers, and so every interaction is defect, or at best tit-for-tat.

Find a way, ANY WAY, to meet people that you enjoy engaging with face to face. This is the roots that fight fascism and crowd out the soil that keeps it from consuming us.

Then you have the #security to create #compassion, and you spread the compassion, not the judgment.

Anyone else crying their eyes out because you had to break up with a guy for his own good, because he couldn't be polyaccepting anymore than you could be monogamous? I've had so much else going on in my life that I think it's only a month after that I can do my grievance. I'm a mess tonight. We really love(d) each other and tried so hard.

Mugica’s PR team knows this, which is surely how I found myself talking to him last month not just about #election sanctity, but about cringier subjects he’d rather avoid: That #bribery case; those alleged ties to his country’s autocratic late president #HugoChavez; & Mugica’s personal views on sexual #monogamy & what they have to do w/his #DatingApp #investments, among other things.
