Why are we so obsessed with monogamous fidelity?
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
The fidelity question is difficult for me. Society has made us believe we're supposed to be monogamous when we're not killer whales, or whatever the monogamous species is.
I don't know, monogamy is a weird thing for me.
I think biologically we are attracted to more than one person, but given society and our needs, monogamy works better.
Human nature is such that monogamy is a really hard thing to achieve.
Monogamy is a tricky thing. I don't think it's for everyone, but I've chosen that life, and there's no question in my relationship.
For any couple, once you delve into the idea of non-monogamy, you're entering pretty frightening territory.
I think that monogamy is artificial. I do not think it's something that comes naturally to us.
We just can't shake monogamy. It definitely demands a kind of rigor and discipline and selflessness. But it's also fun.
I do wonder why modern society has made monogamy the one and only option. In England, it's always, 'Are you with him, or him?' Perish the thought it might be both.
I believe a lot in monogamy, let me tell you.
