T-Rex: This marriage has gotten me thinking about monogamy.
T-Rex: I did some research!
T-Rex: I found a book called "The Ethical Slut"!
T-Rex: Basically it gives advice for having loving polygamous relationships. A lot of it makes sense! Like say your girlfriend has a best friend, and they go out one night. You're happy for her, right? You love her, you want her to be happy. So why should that change when you add sex to it?
T-Rex: The book also posits that an artificial 'economy of scarcity' in sex leads to jealousy and possessiveness.
Utahraptor: You're saying that because sex is 'rare', it has increased value, and is therefore treasured unreasonably?
T-Rex: Yeah!
T-Rex: That's what the book says, anyway. It's not anti-monogamy, but it is pro-polygamy.
Utahraptor: But don't you find that these things don't work in real life? I know I want my partner to be happy, but I also want all of his or her kisses.
T-Rex: Artificial economy of scarcity, my friend! Like diamonds!
Off panel: Why are you so interested in this, anyway?
T-Rex: Who knows!
