I Want All Truth And Nothing But The Truth

Relationships.

Humans are not naturally monogamous and we can tell by the fact we fantasize and get attracted to multiple people at the same time we form emotional bonds with.

Monogamy was invented to control:

1. Stds.
2. Unwanted pregnancy.
3. Raising the future generation in a “stable” environment to nurture and build pleasing, productive, and harmless individuals for the next generation.

Oxytocin, Dopamine, and Serotonin are the “feel good” chemicals released in our brain that are responsible for what we call “love”. Attraction could come about through being physically attracted or attracted through intellectual, ability, or how the person makes you feel when you are around them (emotional).

There is no “it factor” men are attracted to. There is no way to monitor what arouses man or woman because it is completely subjective and random, going by what media suggests is nothing but upholding a subjective standard for monetary gain.

We can’t handle our “loved” one to break monogamy vows because we are:
1. Insecure.
2. Jealous.
3. Possessive.
4. Concerned with resources or the convenience it entails to have your specific partner by your side.

If we were secure, confident in our unique beauty, and caring...

Wouldn’t we be more concerned about HOW a person treats someone than what they do with their privates, and their bodies?

I’d love to read your thoughts!

Thank you.

I don't agree with the first part of this. Monogamy and marriage started around 1200-1300 CE and at that time, your 3 reasons were not concerns.

1. They didn't even know what STD's were.
2. Atleast for the majority of the population, no pregnancies were unwanted, more kids meant survival.
3.) Again for the majority of the population, day to day living was not guaranteed, "the next generation" wasn't being thought of much.

I also can't say I agree with your reasons for why breaking monogamy hurts. While most of us have some of those traits you mentioned in varying degrees, mostly its about a breaking of trust. We trust our partner to be true to us and when they are not, that is what causes the pain.

@Pherick I believe in antiquity marriage had a lot to do with family and fortune. Society upheld fixed marriages where families would flourish in the different ways they could benefit in enhancing or administrating wealth, especially on the side of those well off financially. Why do you think people are so concerned with someone not being physically intimate with somebody else? Selfishness, insecurity, or fear of losing someone who helps you pay bills, and brings pleasure to your life?
