kyburg | Here's one for the thought factory -

Something crossed my mind the other day with regard to how incredibly monogamous I am. I can only give my affections completely to one person at a time - I am completely blind to the rest of the species when I have my One. I can concentrate and think about being loved by another, but it takes work. Lots of conscious effort.

I come from a single parent family. The very idea that one can have more than one source of the unconditional love I've received from my mother - that the father can also provide security and comfort as well, is so totally alien it took me aback for a moment.

So much for single parent families teaching promiscuity.
