Monogamy

The same person...the same face, the same body, the same lips, the same everything, from this day forward for the rest of your life.
Can you handle it?
According to some people, it's like hell on earth.
Never before in our history has monogamy been such an issue. Before the middle of the twentieth century, no one every talked about it - you were generally married for life and if you were a man, you had a discreet little bit on the side. If you were a woman, well what does a woman care about sex, anyway, as long as she has a nice shiny new Frigidaire? During the sexual revolution, relationships didn't even last as long as the party did, and then you were on to someone new whose name you never quite got. And then came the eighties. Just when you thought everyone was cool with the idea of casual relationships, along comes AIDS and terrifies everyone back into the safety of long term monogamy. In the aftermath of all this, people in the twenty-first century have grudgingly accepted that committed relationships are probably the healthiest, even if they relish the idea as much as they do vegetarian bacon or tofu pizza. Monogamy may be good for us, but it doesn't mean we have to like it.

DO you think we were meant to be monogamous?
