"Human beings—male or female—aren’t wired to be sexually monogamous, and the feigned shock with which we’re required to greet each new revelation of infidelity on the part of an elected official, a reality-show star, or a sports figure would be comical if the costs weren’t so great. Elevating monogamy over all else—insisting that it, and it alone, is the sole measure of love and devotion—destroys countless marriages, families, and careers.

Which is not to say that people shouldn’t honor their commitments or that there aren’t folks out there capable of remaining monogamous over the five-decade course of a marriage."

And why is it that facing the above simply-stated facts makes so many people go WAY off the deep end???

Answer that question and you'll be famous for ever...

Because monogamy is a deep-rooted part of some people's belief system, I'm guessing.
