Could monogamy be culture that was taught to Man?

I strongly feel humans aren’t designed to be attracted to one person for a whole lifetime..

I feel it’s our own choice to deny our urges and be faithful to one partner mind body and soul.

Why naturally our bodies get aroused by many.

Monogamy is more a cultural thing than a sexual thing .

Kinda like going to work, or buying a house, or sticking to the law ....they aren't in our nature either ....but we do them because that's what we need to do to further mankind.

Sex can beget offspring , offspring need care, care needs dedication and commitment 🤷

@Heavenlywarrior it's a social necessity .
Well, unless we were better united as a society and structured childcare in a community way.

But we dont .

But generally speaking Sexuality within itself has a short shelf life.
Its like drugs ....it's chemical .
You get the initial high, it peters out and then requires work and patience and more effort to feel that good .
So.....we start the process again with a new person - it's easier.

But I do think there are those that sex is deeper. It's not just chemical ....it's also psychological . And you only get that deep with time.

@OogieBoogie very interesting explanation. This separates us from animal nature
