Right or Wrong, Is it 'un-natural' for humans to be monogamous ?

I do think there should be terms for renegotiating at some point.

Natural vs unnatural is even less morally useful than right vs wrong.

This idea that there's an 'ideal' behaviour practised by our ancestors is ludicrous. To predate social constructs you probably have to go back to a point where we weren't even humans.

Everyone is different. What is good for some is not as good for someone else.

I don't think it's natural for most but it's damn good for regulation of population. 👌

I don't believe humans are monogamous naturally, I think monogamy is a learned and conditioned behaviour.
That said, I'm a monogamist.😂

The natural condition is partnering ... for safety, efficiency, survival, joy and expression of self. ... Been that way since the dawn of time.

The question is "what is the partnering layer?"

A lot of partnering involves a tight bond that leverages a wider partnership.

Some partnering is very secretive

Some partnering bonds huge families together


The Bible provides the clarity for social conduct. Laws provide additional structure.


Which has all contributed to the trend towards hot wifing.

I think as an advanced species who is able to make conscious decisions either way, no. It’s not unnatural.

Some other animals are monogamous, they mate for life. So why not humans? We can make conscious decisions. .

I wouldn't say unnatural, but I don't see anything wrong with polygamy.

Sadly, it takes a while to meet your match. Astrology was used in certain cultures to encourage this monogamous behavior. To control sexual feelings and stay disciplined until one finds the right partner is not everyone’s cup of tea. So lust rules over love...hence the depleting numbers.

meh just do whatever you wanna do

I don't think it's unnatural for humans to be monogamous. There are those who are lucky enough to find their true love and stay with each other without breaking that bond.

We humans do alot of unnatural things.
What we are doing right now with technology and the internet is unnatural.

It's unnatural for men

Everything is governed by nature. Unnatural things simply don't happen.

It's natural that some will spread their seed further than others.
