I’m saying this now because this is the early stage. I want to clarify that I do not believe this article is fully genuine. While I do think they are doing it, I believe they are doing it with an agenda. The news claims they are codifying help for poly couples to get homes and called it "rights in housing, jobs, public places, and more for polyamorous people." The phrasing is odd.

The reason why it's odd is because polyamory is something that the system didn't even really think about. Maybe polygamy, but no one can arrest you for having an affair except in some states, and even in those states, jailing someone for it is extremely rare. This is what I meant to say in the recording and forgot to say.

I don't find anything wrong with human rights for polyamorous people, and I don't find anything wrong with letting them be on the lease or helping them find a home. It's just that the system doesn't care if three people who are unmarried live together. The figure heads are already cheating on their wives.

For a long time, while there have been swingers and people who practice this, it’s extremely rare for a reason. People generally don’t prefer long-term arrangements like this. It’s rare even in history. The only time it’s less rare is in certain political contexts across different countries, and even then, there are cases where the wives of kings tried to kill those they believed to be mistresses.

Polyamory, and even requesting a polyamorous relationship, is also extremely risky. People talk about successful requests, but not unsuccessful ones. When unsuccessful cases are discussed, they’re often framed negatively. For example, there was a man who asked his wife to allow him to be polyamorous—essentially to cheat. She said it was okay as long as she didn’t have to see the other women. This is a subtle sign she wasn’t comfortable with it; she didn’t want to see it, but she also didn’t want him to leave. This kind of situation does happen. In America, there’s an issue where if someone says something is okay, it’s treated as fine—even if it makes them uncomfortable.

In South Korea, there’s a different moral standard. There was a case where a man was told to go swimming with others. He said he was fine, but it was clear he wasn’t. In that culture, this is seen as wrong because others should have recognized his discomfort. If someone says they’re okay but clearly isn’t, people are expected to stop the activity or exclude them. Their culture prioritizes collective well-being and avoiding discomfort for others.

In contrast, American culture is more individualistic. While there are ideas like “don’t hurt others,” there’s also a tendency to think that if someone allows something—even if it hurts them—it’s acceptable. This can be problematic. For example, there is a concept called consensual non-consent, a form of sadomasochism. In its extreme form, it involves someone asking someone else to give them permission in advance for acts like rape against that person in the future, with a safeword as the only way to stop it. This is very risky, especially if the person forgets the safeword or is mentally compromised by the stress of the rape in question. In such cases, they may be harmed despite trying to refuse.

There are also scenarios that someone made up that worked for the new york times he wrote in the new york times article promoting this kind of thing giving a scenario where someone consents in advance to being physically harmed, such as being stabbed with needles. Later, even if they no longer want it, the other person may continue because of that prior consent. he claims describe the woman felt unsafe. but that deep down, in th eback her of mind, she knows she's safe even though in literal situation she actually is righ tnot to feel safe because she isn't safe, she is being phyisically harmed.

this reflects cognitive dissonance. Many who claim to enjoy this tend to be in the dominant role rather than the one being harmed. There are also roleplay versions where people simulate these acts.

In South Korea, this would not be accepted. Simply saying “I’m fine” is not enough—people must genuinely be fine. This isn’t an overreaction; it’s a common and reasonable response.

In the U.S., people may still do things that make others uncomfortable if they’re technically allowed. Someone ancient had said that if you only punish bad behavior and reward good behavior, people will act only for rewards. While that idea has some truth, both discipline and communication are necessary. In past generations—and in some countries today—better outcomes often came from stronger communication with children. In contrast, many Americans are highly distracted by phones and may spend less time engaging with their children.

In the earlier example where the wife told her husband not to cheat in front of her but hewould be allowed if she couldn't see the other women, the husband may have known his wife was uncomfortable but continued anyway. He followed her rules but pushed them as far as possible. Polyamory is risky because it essentially involves asking for permission to be with others. This can lead to breakups—not because of bigotry, but because the other person feels disrespected, hurt, and unloved. Even asking can signal a lack of commitment. Someone might respond by saying the request itself shows a desire to be with someone else, which can damage the relationship, and because of that, a sign to them that you don't value the relationship or love them enough not to risk ruining everything.

It’s also a risky environment for children. Some who grew up in these situations describe them as chaotic. Others from polygamist groups report similar experiences. Additionally, people—especially in certain cultures—may hide problems in their personal lives and only discuss them anonymously online. Because of this, someone in a polyamorous relationship might say everything is fine, even if there is jealousy, conflict, or emotional struggle behind the scenes.
