So this is a genuine question, no recs.

I was just wondering what people enjoy in reading about poly relationships when they are themselves "monogamous".

I'm not talking about the smut for the smut type of work, those are self-explanatory.

I mean the manhwas (and some mangas) who are more plot driven.

I'm really curious about this. I don't mean to judge anyone. I may be completely wrong, and only people who are poly in their irl life, enjoy this.

Thank you for taking your time to respond.

    Well, some people have a curiosity on what being poly is like; some people are interested in the concept of poly, but aren't actually into it, do they have to be poly in order to like poly related things? ╮( ̄▽ ̄)╭ I'm not poly, but it's interesting to see other different types of relationships exists!

    I like to see things from a different perspective i guess. I'm fully monogamous and have been in a mono relationship for years, but some of my friends are poly and i know a lot about it, so i guess i wanted to see how such a relationship would be portrayed in a manga

    Personally it's to do with the way I see relationships. My brain puts all relationships that are between consenting adults on the same level. I understand the differences but my brain still just computes it as people who love each other, which is what I enjoy reading.

    lol u could ask this question about anything. why do people read certain literature that have heavy christian themes if they do not practice that religion? if people believe murder is wrong why do they still read murder mysteries or romance with murders or anything. just cuz u do not do the same things as someone doesn’t mean u cannot read and/or enjoy about it

    That's not exactly the same thing, is it?
    I don't thing people "enjoy" the murder aspect of the plot... it just adds drama and stakes to the story, etc.

    Thank you all for your hones answers. ^^

    specird, you really cracked me up. x))

    I guess I get it, it's mostly curiosity. That's fair, even my introduction to bl was through my curiosity.
    Or it's about witnessing the love people have for each other, that's cute. ^^

    i’m p sure ppl will be happy about some characters getting murdered like a rapist or what not. even just villains like mahito from jjk or that guy who fused his daughter and a dog together
