Just my two cents once again..

So? Good I guess, consider yourself a rare breed, then. LOL.

Monogamy is for the birds. Want nothing to do with it. Fortunately, my wife feels the same way. Makes for an interesting (and fun filled) life!

so when i say women will share themselves amongst men at the drop of a hat because most people in general don't believe in monogamy, i'm some sort of weirdo
but word it another way and its 'omg yes this is true. i agree hehe'

i see how it is.

Are humans naturally monogamous?

Don't care. I am and expect the same from my other half.

Why would you marry someone if you want to sleep with other people? Why not just keep 'dating'? What is the point in getting married? Just to say you did?

I'm not married, but I've committed to never cheating, and I won't, but I don't think it's the natural order of things...
Porn hardly existed until 1953, when the first issue of Playboy was published. Having porn around hasn't been the norm until recently.

Well, maybe in modern Western culture. The kama sutra originated around 400 B.C. Erotic poetry and literature existed in ancient Greece. "Porn" isn't new, but modern technology (from the printing press to the internet) have made its distribution easier. The main reason it was less common was censorship, but there has always been underground circulation.

Birds of a feather DO flock together. Or more simply put, water seeks its own level.

Personally I prefer the examples of swans and turtle doves who mate for life.

I honestly dont think men or women really want to just bed down everyone they can for their entire life. Maybe for a while when your young, you know sewing your wild oats, but once you start to mature your desires change and most want more than sex. They want comittment, security and devotion. And as much as some men talk the talk, I dont think they really have the stamina to keep up with multiple women.
Some of these posters just have grown up enough yet to even know what you are talking about. But you know you're right
