Actually, some scientists are speculating that the opposite may be true, that monogamy may actually be the unnatural condition for us, especially considering the activities of our ancestors and the propensity for humans to cheat, the rather noisy affair of it, especially from women, not to mention they think that the end of the penis may be designed to scoop out the previous partners sperm to increase the chances that they are the one to father the child. For the most part, monogamy is a societal idea drilled into our heads.
That being said I still do not advocate cheating. Now, if both partners are OK with having another in the bedroom, then by all means.
I don't feel that issues surrounding fidelity are pertinent to this discussion. However, I also don't believe monogamy is anything but a social construct, but perhaps one that was necessary as a foundation to creating civilization as we know it. I believe we can learn quite a lot from the behaviors of our primate cousins and see how their actions, while seemingly crude, often are seen as echo's in our own beings. For example gorillas will often kill the offspring a female has with another male when he takes her as a partner. We might see this as domestic abuse. The way they mate could also be seen through a human lense as rape.
I think a thread about this topic could be compelling as well.
The scientific world has descended into degeneracy, with the number of legit scientists lessening. But now, if you want to use what some random guys say (probably to justify their own fucking around), then by all means do so. I, on the other hand, will find a nice pretty girl that possesses proper values and stick with her.
Is it normal that sex workers are looked down on?
