Is Monogamy realistic - Debates

Mrz. Robinson · 10-29-2009, 12:16 PM

What do you think, and why.

His*PITA* · 10-29-2009, 12:19 PM

Absolutely...

There is no longer an evolutionary need to create as many offspring as humanly possible in order to ensure survival, which was one of the biggest reasons people had multiple partners in history

Serpentine · 10-29-2009, 12:20 PM

I think it is.

I don't think it's for everyone, and some people who choose monogamy have to work at it. I'm on the fence with even calling it natural but if by "realistic" you mean plausible or attainable, then my answer is yes.

Absolutely. Our generation seems to have forgotten that.

I think that while many people find it difficult to conform to that standard, that monogamy is realistic for most people.

Jennifer Lynn · 10-29-2009, 12:21 PM

For some people, yes, for other no.

For me, I couldn't be in a polyamorous relationship, but I know that for some people monogamy isn't what makes them happy.

It's relative.

Of course.

I see no other options between dh and myself. To each their know though

NavyHeart · 10-29-2009, 12:24 PM

Of course. Its DH and I till death do us part (and then some

)

Some people can't/won't handle it.

His*PITA* · 10-29-2009, 12:24 PM

I will add that its only realistic for those that choose that lifestyle... Like JenniferLynn said, some people do not choose the lifesyle because its not what they want and there is nothing wrong with that (IMO)...

But OP if you are getting at the whole "no one seems to stay together anymore, more people are cheating & cant stay faithful" side of the argument, thats a society/morals/values problem
