Libido > Relationships and Libido
Finding Balance, happiness and harmony.
We all know that it takes two people to tango, and good communication to make it all
work, but for innumerable reasons there are millions of men and
women who just cannot build a successful relationship and then there are those
questions on fidelity and open relationships.
The goal of this site is to stimulate intersex discussion on all the issues
surrounding our more intimate life issues from how we live our daily lives, to
how we communicate and enjoy real intimacy in the bedroom and the other places
intimacy occurs.
We are all born into and raised within a cultural group complete with prejudices and biases,
so by the time we are teenagers, our minds have been programmed to match as best as possible
and to support the values of the community. Of course today, there are countless sub communities
within the dominant cultural identity.
One of the big shifts in identity has been evolving over the past few centauries and is still ongoing.
This is the shifting power balance between men and women and the changing cultural, religious and social political scene.
If you look to our prehistoric past, this struggle between men and women has always
occurred,
however for the hunter gatherer tribes, men and women have been fairly equal in status and rights,
but with the development of agriculture, women became subservient to men and at various times over the past 6000 years
they have regularly sought not only equality, but to dominate men.
The suffragette movement and the development of the media for mass communication
has helped to bring the inequity into sharper focus and over the past 100 years,
we have learned to talk about equity and to find ways to come together in
harmony which is actually happening for some individuals and couples, but the
masses are lost in a mire of doubt and uncertainty which emerges as fear,
protectionism and hostility which is played out through the power games that our
children seem to be mastering at ever younger ages.
Today we find ourselves caught in a trap, a trap created only in our minds which
is created by our conditioning and compounded by social politics that most of
us; if we can remember, in our teens we rebelled at to some extent. The
rebels saw the hypocrisy and injustice, they felt and saw the effects of
unreasonable and often uncontrolled force at work in their families and
communities and sought change. In the 60's, the young got into flower power,
yoga and meditation to seek the truth and reason for being and today, youth seem
to have given up, they are turning to drugs and lies, learning to manipulate
those around them for profit and drowning their conscience in alcohol.
Is There A Right Way to Live?
Ultimately there is no one way, however there is an important rule to live by
and that is to do no harm.
If we take a trip around the world, the ideal Western relationship seems to be
monogamy - that is finding a partner of the opposite sex and remaining faithful
for one's entire life. However if we go to some more remote places on Earth, we
will find polyandry a common practice with one woman enjoying several husbands.
There is a good reason for this, it slows population growth and prevents the
over exploitation of the environment, and hey, many women dream of having
multiple partners but rarely all at the same time.. Then in other places we find
polygamy where the male has several or many wives. There are reasons for this
too: In a feudal society, the more children a man has means the more soldiers he
will have to defend the homeland and workers to generate income.
