Is long term monogamy unnatural for human beings?

[Edwardo Piet]

I don’t think the question of monogamy is a ‘natural’ versus ‘unnatural’ type of proposition.  I think it suits certain personality types, but not others.  We are able to decide what we want for ourselves, and I think as long as a person is on the same page as their partner and no one is being deceived, then there is no moral objection to not being monogamous.

I agree. It's all natural. Whether something is nature or nurture is ultimately entirely irrelevant to anything that matters, because, after all, our nurture ultimately comes from our nature anyway.

The point is that, not only is it all natural, but even if it weren't: It wouldn't say anything about morality or anything that matters.

Condoms aren't natural.... in the sense that they are artificial but condoms are very very good things. I know Catholicism doesn't agree, but Catholicism is wrong.

And EVERYTHING is natural in the sense of, not supernatural.

So I guess the big point is "So what?" natural/unnatural doesn't matter. Healthy/moral matters, but neither of those have anything to do with something being natural. In fact, in many cases "unnatural" (as in artificial) things, such as modern medicine can be both very healthy and moral.

 I think I already predicted that and dealt with what I suspect to be the essence of the question here though

Yes, you did.  Seems I jumped the gun a little bit with a knee-jerk post.

You know me. I tend to consider stuff
