I think the ability to discuss and make agreements about sex is the human difference.  
I like to have a monogomous partner.  The agreed price is to be monogomous myself.  What other people agree to do is not really my business.  But enough of them either never settle down, or live in open partnerships of some kind to convince me that humans are not naturally monogomous as a species.  The very existence of divorce or laws against infidelity should be enough to make it clear we are not monogomous the way swans are.
If there is a god, I want to believe that there is a god.  If there is not a god, I want to believe that there is no god.
