Is long term monogamy unnatural for human beings?
#45
RE: Is long term monogamy unnatural for human beings?
I voted yes. 

But it's probably more like somewhere inbetween.  

If it was a sort of experiment where you could have a world, insert a five typical human males and a hundred females and all of them have the capability to breed you'll most likely find out that monogamy is unnatural.  Once that world is fully populated again they'll probably develop some system of monogamy to regulate breeding competition, it seems to be human nature to want to regulate breeding competition, and while that's going on they'll be figuring out ways to cheat and manipulate that system.  Which is also a big part of human nature.  

Unnatural what's outside the ordinary course of nature.  What the ordinary course of nature is when it comes to human breeding is really debatable. 

The reason why I voted yes is just because I think it's safe to say it's natural for the average human male (the vast, vast majority of the time) to have the base instincts to at least want to have sex with a hell of a lot of women and to think about doing it a lot of the time.  But as I say I do think it's somewhere inbetween.


Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.

Impersonation is treason.
