Not that he was grinding his teeth a little at that, no.

"That's just more shitty attempts at controlling women, and people suck and I hate them." So, that was a helpful part of this conversation. "And the not other lovers thing is..."

He pulled in a breath, and then took another drink, and then sighed.

"That's a more complicated one, I guess. There are a lot of reasons people do it. Sometimes it's just as simple as 'that's how we were told it should be done.'" He shrugged. "I mean, I don't buy into it, but there are some reasonable excuses for it. Preventing, like, diseases from spreading unchecked, I guess?"

He was having a really hard time justifying monogamy, yes.

"Some people just want to devote all their attention into one person, and maybe the kids they have together. Which is a choice they should be able to make. And other people want to love a lot of people, which society hasn't quite gotten used to yet, which sucks, because it's fucking awesome."

Put Sparkle firmly in Camp Polyamory.
