Open Marriage, Kama Sutra, and Dad

YouTuber Hikaru married Attack on Titan's Noah,
The two released a video saying that they have agreed to an open marriage (cheating is OK) and that they look forward to it.

Most of the comments were critical of Hikaru, and Hikaru himself responded forcefully.

I would like to share my thoughts on this matter

First of all, I've always hated Hikaru.
I think maybe I was bullied in my previous life.
I think someone threw salt on me when I was a slug in a previous life.
I remembered my past life and thought he was a physically repulsive person.

But this time, I've revised it a bit.
Maybe I can forgive him a little for his past life?, I think.

There aren't many people who can make such a stupid statement.
That's why it's great.

I think most women would be disgusted by what he said,
Wealthy men secretly think, "I wish there was a law that says cheating is OK if you make over a billion yen a year," so I said, "Hikaru, nice. I'll take care of you."
You may have thought so.

I think that Hikaru's interpretation of "cheating is OK" is something that people who are serious about open marriages or polyamory shouldn't equate with.
Well, for people who aren't interested, it's the same genre.

I'm extremely interested in this genre, so I'm grateful that the legendary and well-known Hikaru-sensei has made this announcement and made a splash in the world.
I also forgive the fact that in my previous life I was picked at with a branch.

My annual income is 250 million yen, so I can't pretend to be wealthy, but it's part of my job to think about the feelings of the wealthy, so I tried to think about it from a rich perspective, and
on second thoughts,What's wrong?
The dust of memories always remains in our hearts.

The history of Japanese views on marriage (roughly!)

• -660 Emperor Jimmu ascends to the throne and Japan begins! Promiscuity within the village
• 1000 years ago, during the Heian period, commuting marriages and open marriages!
• Until the Edo period in 1868, people enjoyed sex freely.
• 1947: Monogamy is officially adopted (cheating is not allowed! Absolutely not allowed)
• Hikaru declares open marriage in 2025

To summarise it like this,
For 2500 years → Concubines, multiple wives, someone's children, but it's OK
100 years → No cheating
Present → Declining birthrate, divorce rate, sexless marriage, lowest happiness rate

So, it wouldn't be surprising if the world's values ​​changed in the next five years or so.
Maybe we could have an open marriage law,

I can't help but think that.

I think that the institution of marriage is a difficult balance to strike.
As someone who has been through a divorce, I strongly believe this.

There are several aspects to marriage:

- Economic dependency (mainly legal)
・People around you see you as a pair (socially)
・The merging of houses! Descendants! Graves! (History)

Well, Chappie (Chat GPT) told me.
Huh? What about love? Isn't love everything? Isn't there love in marriage?
When asked,

It's okay if you don't have it!

It is said that.

Don't you think this is very important?
We've seen commercials for Zexy and De Beers since we were kids, and we thought marriage was love. But throughout history, marriage and romance have been different things, and they still are.

 

So cheating is okay?

When I asked Chappie, he replied:

Rather than jealousy issues, it's not good to have a relationship of trust broken due to lying or broken promises.
Cheating is bad, whatever.

Huh? So, if a couple is like Hikaru Sensei and honestly say, "We're going to get along with each other knowing that cheating is OK, so please be nice to me," then it's okay, right?

But I imagine that the reason society won't forgive him is because of his annual income.

Will SmithApparently they're also in an open marriage, but I don't think it caused them to drop out of the film or lower their ratings.

That's why I think rich people like Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos should be free to do what they want, whether it's open marriage or polygamy.
I hope that the average guys around him won't think, "That's unfair!" but will think, "Elon-senpai, you're amazing! I want to be like you too! I'll start my own business!"

 

So that's my suggestion.

I want the law to say that love is not included in marriage.
It's like being asked at city hall, "Trust is included, but romance is an optional extra, would you like to add it?"

Marriage is starting to wear you down. It's a heavy burden on your shoulders.
Co-owner, parenting team, and sex partner

Let's stop doing everything
That's like asking Elon Musk to run 100m in 10 seconds and enter the Shogi Championship.

Once you've finished raising your children or have decided not to have any more children, wouldn't it be okay to exclude the romantic aspect from the contract?
I mean, if you have a partner in a business, why do you run it together with that person? Because it makes the business go well. It would be a problem if you were told to have sex with that person.

Changing the subject, the Kama Sutra.
I had the image of it being a holy book that contains the secrets of sex, but apparently that's not the case.

Originally, the stoic philosophy that "morality, ethics, and liberation" were important was popular in India.
It was like, this world is so painful, so let's do our best to be happy in the next life.

But as people began to die like insects in the war, a growing trend arose to say, "But wait a minute. Is it okay to seek pleasure and love?", and so someone said, "I know! Well, I guess I'll just put it all together in a guidebook," and so the book was created.
From there, India added "morality, ethics, liberation, and pleasure."

In this way, not only in Japan but all over the world, people are constantly fluctuating between thinking that sex is bad and thinking that it is good.
But Western countries are hunter-gatherers. They're a people who will do as they please unless they're told sternly that infidelity is not allowed. In contrast, Japan is an agricultural and obedient people.
To begin with, we weren't having wild sex, so there was no need to be overly strict about infidelity.

In Germany, a country of similar ethnicity, prostitution was legalized in 2002 and the country is at peace.
Even after marriage, our assets remain separate and there is no alimony for infidelity. I just accept it as a marriage contract.
Isn't that reasonable?

I hope that open marriage laws will be enacted in Japan during my lifetime.
Should I become a politician?

"flexible marriage system(Flexible Marriage System, FMS)

If your spouse agrees, register at the city hall in advance.
It's okay to cheat, but if you hurt my child, I'll kill you.
No secrets. 1 million yen fine for each lie.
Set conditions in advance, such as doing all the housework and childcare, traveling abroad twice a year, and receiving 300,000 yen a month in pocket money.
If one of them decides that they want to be a normal married couple, they file for divorce.

Thank you, Hikaru-senpai, for inspiring this fantasy.
I feel like if I have children someday, I'll be a good father and won't talk about open marriages like a child.
