I just had a metaphorical argument with my philosophy prof about polyamory.
He equated it to quantity over quality and so the argument is that the polyamorous lover would rather eat 12 hot dogs for dinner rather than a well cooked steak dinner.
I think this was the first time he's had a student ask "But you're still goign to get tired of eating steak dinner every night. What if you could have steak dinner some nights, chicken cordon bleu on other nights and a good glazed ham on others. You would appreciate the other meals more when you had them wouldn't you?"
To which he replied "That's not what the author is saying"
I'm really sick of him using that answer rather than arguing a line of logic.

"Of course, with all my heart", I replied.
She then asks, "When your son was born, do you love him?"
"Of course, I love him also with all my heart."
"Did you love Natasha any less when Carter entered your life?"
"Not at all. My love grows for both of them and neither is loved less."
She then told me it is the same for her in polyamorous relationships.
I have to agree with her. I do believe you can love more than one without it diminishing the first or any that follows.
