Polyamory, on the other hand, is a more modern outlook grounded in such concepts as gender equality, self-determination, free choice for all involved, mutual trust, equal respect among partners, the value of love, the ideal of compersion, and other mostly secular ideals.
This does not seem to work well for me. Although I am all in favor of casual relationships and one-night stands, I always fall a little bit in love. For example, quite shortly after I divorced I had an online one-nighter, knowing full well that is what it was. It was quite romantic (or creepy, given your take), and quite unique. I sometimes think that was quite risky, but I wouldnt change it. I like what it added to my life.
In addition to falling a little bit in love, I think I would be jealous sometimes, and I dont want to go around feeling that. Thats a happiness ruiner if there ever was one. I try to stay away from that.
