DeluxedEdition Ideally we could all be monogamous and happy but I'm just being realistic about it. It doesn't come naturally to us. It's not like the fairy tales. I'm not disagreeing with you that monogamy would be great in an ideal world, but I just don't think it's ever going to happen... In the US, 40% of people have cheated.
But I think sexual restraint would definitely help with monogamy. If we have a lot of sex and watch porn, we become addicted and then start to look for novelty (new people). But if we limit sex (maybe just use it for procreation), it might be easier to stick to one person since your relationship wouldn't be based on sex.
The purpose of your relationship becomes about family rather than sex. This would probably make monogamy more likely. It wouldn't matter anymore if you lost interest in your partner. Your relationship would have a deeper meaning than sex.
But this true love bull shit definitely isn't working. Lol.
