    I prefer monogamy.There's only that one person that you seem to have special feelings for. I'd rather have quality over quantity.

    People tend to want to raise their own children, one man + one woman = your own child.
    The more people you have contact with the larger the chance of being exposed to illness.
    The more people in your life the more complicated life gets.

    Morals really have nothing to do with it.
    If you have two children do you love each half as much as when you had only one?
    My children are grown and gone.
    I do not hop in the sack with just anyone. (love and sex tend to go together for me)
    I am in love with two women and I don't hide the relationship from either one. It has been complicated emotionally but my life is better for it as is I believe the lives of my partners.

    If we limit our world to what we think it should be, we miss out on all that really is.

    It is a serious and important issue!
    Should it not be discussed, face to face, across the table, all present, dressed in natural attire, like others in nature?

    I believe that we can have many loves throughout our lives, if we are lucky. However, how can you honestly say you love someone if you can justify cheating??
    Love is about respect....cheating is not respectful in any sense of the word.

    I think it comes down to the individual at the end of the day.

    For whatever reason, I feel very monogamous. I have no desire whatsoever to have multiple partners for the rest of my life. I just want one.

    I have definitely met couples whose love actually grows and who love each other more than the day they got married. I think it's rare, but that's what I want.

    Morning! I firmly beleive that the Human race is a victim of it's own evolutionary development. Before we became village-town-city dwellers and ledd dependant on the hunter-gathering life, Males stayed around to protect their females and their young, born and not yet born! And since it takes years to raise a Human child to be on their own and hunt and all that, the Male I think learned to stay and then be "monogamous". That and our brain actually got larger and we developed the emotion of love far past the other animals and of course the origin of religion and it's binds on us and society. And yet cheapenned it at the same time. We lost our Primal love and replaced it with this "artistic" love.

    I loved being married while it lasted. Never cheated and all that but now that I'm single and seeing the world thru single eyes having sired my son, been a "one" lover and all that experience has to offer, both good and bad, I have to say I have a very different take on marriage. Not so much teh act of staying together but the contract. The "contract" of it I think actually ruined my mine.

    Looking for an excuse for an open marriage? Go have it. But it will mess up your kids because the vast majority of nature's mothers raise their spawn until they are ready to survive on their own. They aren't whoring around until their broods are self-sufficient. So if every 21 years you want to give a new cowboy a ride have @ it- That;s Motherhood in Nature- unless you'll be one of the rare creatures that eat their young

    Well, if you want to put it in more than one hole, then marriage is obviously not for you... unless you find a woman (or man) with the same polyamorous core values. Then youse can be swingers... though it's probably better to stay single. That way, the amount of people you "love" is at your own discretion.

    The burning question....
    Monogamy or not....
    Studies show that men were designed to sow their seeds and create as many children as they could to populate the earth....
    Most women, I do believe, prefer monogamy as it is in their natures and they like to give their love to one man only.
    It remains quite controversial, however...

    What? So you're saying a man's main purpose in life is to be a $perm-shooting knucklehead? Sowing your seed recklessly with too many women can result in major child support fees and potential sexually transmitted disease... not to mention, most people should not be allowed to contaminate the world with their subordinate genes... not to impugn your seed, sir.

    A very sweet and romantic fact... the male Adelie Penguin will scour the Arctic beaches for the perfect rock. Once found, he presents it at the foot of his coveted female. If she accepts, they touch bellies and sing a song together, becoming a mated pair for life.
