Polygamy

Have you ever been in love with two people at the same time?

Polygamy has divided public opinion for centuries. Some believe that the natural human tendency to love more than one person is a remnant of evolution and ancient social models. Others see it as a threat to fidelity and family stability. Supporters of polygamy cite biological and cultural arguments, while opponents point to moral and legal ones. Can great love really have more than one name, or is it just an excuse?

Is beauty already materialism?

Do you think that focusing on beauty and a shapely figure when choosing a partner can be considered a sign of materialism?

Reflections on whether choosing a partner for their looks is merely physical attraction or already a sign of materialism can stir emotions. In a world where appearance has become currency in the relationship market, the question arises: is “rich beauty” a luxury that buys a better life, or just an illusion? Critics say that the pursuit of the perfect body is the result of the beauty cult on social media, others – that it’s simply the lottery of genes. But if that’s the case, why has nature treated some so harshly? And you – do you choose the heart or the packaging?

Partner’s appearance

Do people you find exceptionally physically attractive often have a different type of appearance from those you imagine yourself in a long-term relationship with?

Strong physical attraction versus choosing a life partner is a topic that can reveal our hidden priorities. Many admit that “chemistry” operates on completely different principles than love and stability. Psychologists point out that instinct may draw us toward types completely different from those with whom we realistically envision a future. Is this proof of the dual nature of human desires, or the result of cultural patterns and social pressure? Check in the poll which side you’re on.

Telegony

Do you believe that a woman’s first sexual encounter, during which there was contact with a man’s semen, can cause her later offspring with other partners to show certain similarities to that first man?

Telegony, once popular among breeders and the aristocracy, is now making a comeback in online discussions. It assumes that a woman’s first sexual partner can “imprint” his genetic trace on her future offspring with other men. Official science claims that traits are inherited exclusively from the biological father, but there is the phenomenon of microchimerism – cells from previous partners can remain in a woman’s body. Is this a biological curiosity without significance, or a mechanism that science does not yet want to talk about? Supporters see it as confirmation of ancient knowledge, skeptics – merely a myth. And you, which side are you on?

Childlessness Tax

Do you think that people who do not have children should pay an additional tax to support the demographic system?

Is childlessness a personal choice or a societal issue? As populations age, voices emerge calling for those without children to contribute more to the system. But does the state have the right to penalize private life decisions? The line between collective responsibility and individual freedom is becoming increasingly tense. Is a tax on childlessness an act of demographic justice—or ideological pressure to become a parent? Find out where your boundary lies.

Access to Tobacco, Alcohol, and Gambling from Age 21

Do you think that access to tobacco, alcohol, and gambling should be allowed only after turning 21?

Is an 18-year-old still a kid—or already an adult? The debate on raising the legal age for alcohol, tobacco, and gambling to 21 reveals two conflicting views on responsibility. One is based on neuroscience, showing the brain may still be too immature for risky choices. The other is rooted in equal rights: if you’re old enough to vote or join the military, why not buy a beer? This isn’t just about substances—it’s about how we define adulthood today. Where do you draw the line?
