I don't think monogamy is declining at all. I just think that more people are having casual hookups or rather it is becoming a common sight to observe people wanting casual sex. However, it is not a new thing, people have always had mistresses. And with the advent of new age ideas, such as women also having a sex drive, more people aren't rooted to such notions as "she has to be a virgin" or "wait until marriage." People are becoming more free to do whatever they want, since more people are starting to stress less and less social norms. I mean think about it, 100 years ago two men being in a relationship would be considered sinful but now it's practically common, because you are seeing more and more people be open about their desires and what they want. It doesn't make them a bad person, it just shows you the social improvements (American) society has made.
You could say that one man and one woman relationships are slowly dying because you observe more homosexual relationships. But that's not true, it's like I said people are just more open to what they want nowadays. Nothing is dying. Plenty of people still want to meet "the one" but that doesn't mean that they have to be a virgin or that they can't have a few flings before then.
When i put this post together... I didn't mean just "man and woman" relationships lol. I meant relationships in general.
I understand that society is becoming more open with their sexuality. Which leads to people being able to explore and have fun, and not be judged.
The reason why i think that monogamy is dying is because of this. If people can explore their sexuality without the fear of judgement, and be able to sleep with 3-4 different people, then why would you settle down? Eventually this will become normal.
You will be able to have 3 girlfriends or boyfriends and be open about it. I'm not saying monogamy won't be possible, but i do believe it is declining because we are aloud to experiment without judgement. I'm also not saying this is a bad thing either lol. I'm just curious about what other people think.
I think what you're talking about is polygamy, which is still looked down upon. There's also poly-amorous relationships, which is pretty much when you love multiple people and they do as well and you guys are all dating. This is still seen as taboo in America's culture. I get where you're coming from but there are some traditions that people are still rooted down on, like thanksgiving or having manners. Monogamous relationships I don't believe will die anytime soon. Will it die a billion years from now? Perhaps, but everything decays. If you think about our sex drive will probably decay, if society seems bored with sex and stops glorifying it, which it probably will because advertisements will decay as well. Everything decays. But in conclusion I do not see monogamous relationships dying any time or even in my life time or grandchildren life time.
Nah I get what you mean and I could see where you're coming from. It's just that like, I don't know, people still believe in traditional relationships.
Monogamy slowly dying?
