Monogamy

[Dyne]

Monogamy is mainly a religious/cultural thing. It's not in our DNA. Men were designed to sleep with many women, and women have biological impulses to cheat. You can't deny it. Religion and culture over the years taught us that it is "right" to only have one lover. But why?

Have you ever thought about Kings and their harems? Kings used to have loads of women just to himself and his genes, because those genes were obviously the "best." They probably were, if he got to be a king. Well, how did he protect this harem? He passed laws for monogamy. That means only one woman to a man. This protected his harem. It all makes sense. Now it has been passed down and literally fed to us through mediums such as Disney movies. We grow up thinking Monogamy is good.

What I do believe now, in modern times, is that a man will devote himself to one women, but will sleep with others if the opportunity arises. But when you get older and it's time to marry, I'll be less prone to doing that.
