Are Humans Meant to Be Monogomous?

Monogamy. This word is often associated with a lot of other words and ideas – some flattering and some unflattering.  Some of those words include : loyalty, faithfulness, integrity, boredom, apathy, practical.  The list goes on. Depending on who you talk to, they may have different takes on monogomy.

Some people, men and women included, find monogomy to be hard. Others find it easy and are naturally monogomous creatures. One thing most pe0ple agree on, no matter what side of the fence they are on, is that there is almost always going to be some wandering eyes. Even in the staunchest of us, it seems that we all eventually appreciate the appearance or attention of someone other than our significant other.

That is 100% natural, and as long as it doesn’t stray too far, it is ok.  While it is true that in our first months or even sometimes years of a relationship, we are so enamored of the other person that we tend to put blinders on, this wears off over time.

The reality of monogomy is that it sometimes takes work when we don’t see eye to eye or we begin to really find faults in one another or get irritated with the day to day monotony of life.  This is normal. It is also the reason why so many divorces occur now. Divorce is so easy now that people look for the way out once things get a little tough.

Back when it wasn’t as socially acceptable, people stayed together out of necessity. Not that it’s a good thing, but at least it kept the family unit together. There are many conflicting studies on humans and whether we are really naturally monogomous or not. Some studies show that men are not monogomous by nature at all, some show that neither sex really is.

And some show that humans are exclusive by nature, but some are not – in other words it really depends on the person.  All the news about celebrities being cheated on and men in the public eye that seem to never have enough sex and difference partners, it’s no wonder women can trust anyone in the public eye!
