Can’t sleep! Another thought!
I saw a documentary a long time ago (on Netflix??) about the evolution of a hippie commune back in the 60’s. Free Love and all that. Anyway, I had a good chuckle when people were getting genuinely UPSET (a few years later in the early 70’s now) that people were starting to couple up, have pair bondings, and didn’t want the free love threesomes as much (or any more!).
Another study was about kibbutzes. Not free love but with this communal living idea. The children would be raised in a house with all the other children and they would occasionally see the parents. Well over the decades guess what happened? People NATURALLY drifted back to family first, commune second living.
People NATURALLY prefer MOST of the time two partner households. End of story. Family first. Others a distant second.
Hope that helps!
