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.

This is the biggest load of nonsense pushed by people that are still in a phase where they want to play around. As soon as you find someone you want to settle with all that mess goes out the window when you find your spouse with another person between the sheets. That feeling of rage or jealousy is also a part of the mating game. Attraction is just one aspect of it, which simply opens the door for something to happen.

@SW-User how is it nonsense tho? When the majority out rules monogamy. ALL THROUGHOUT HISTORY.

It can literally be Tracked statistically that it’s a rare “Special” thing that men and women stay with one partner during their lifetime or don’t even cheat.

@Heavenlywarrior There's plenty of history you can scroll back on that shows you that jealousy is always at play in the mating game. Kings and other rich could afford concubines but the fact that the rich could afford to surround themselves with beautiful women isn't a sign of nature, it is a sign that power allows you to get away with more than the average person can. The poor and the middle class always settled for one spouse. Sure cheating happened and cheating always sparked jealousy, be it a man or woman. Usually this argument is by men that want to play around but as soon as the women desire the same then it's suddenly a no no. That's again an indication that it's bullshit.

@SW-User I see where your point is , however the average lower class did the same as the kings and upper class.. men having women on the side or pimps and hoes always existed. Or the man who has many women or the woman who has many men…

It’s becoming a norm also that people aren’t getting with each other just to procreate. They are hooking up based on just sexual expression / lust/ fantasy whatever you wanna call it hook up culture.

I feel While on one hand it’s based on pure desire there can also be order and balance in it if all parties are open and down with whatever program has been established.
