Is long term monogamy unnatural for human beings?

[Edwardo Piet]

Pedophiles have dreams, too.

I don't think being sexually attracted to babies and children is natural lol. I think it's some sort of disorder or mental illness in the person.

Everything is natural though. Some things are just more common than others, or moral than others (or both or neither).

What is your definition of "natural" here? Because as far as I know it is anything besides supernatural, which is basically everything.

I mean, sure, there's also stuff that is artificial or man-made. But 1. None of the things we are are talking about are that either. 2. Those things are derived from fully natural substances, and humanity itself is also natural.

I'm forced to pretty much agree that monogamy is natural because everything is.... but I take it that what you really meant is "Is monogamy something humans have cultivated but before civilization developed they were all naturally non-monogamous?" to which I say "no"... I think humans in the state they evolved in, prior to culture, are probably both naturally monogamous and non-monogamous.

One is not the opposite of the other.

Both monogamy and polyamory are natural. In the same way that both heterosexuality, bisexuality, homosexuality and pansexuality are natural.

DING DING DING! We have the correct answer.

You explained it better than I did though.

I'd also add asexuality to the mix.
