- Go to They say man isn't monogamous by nature. Hence his desires must find
saying that anybody is anything "by nature" is an excuse for prejudice - be very careful with that idea

Good Post
Men and women cheat. The reason why some say a man is monogamous by nature is most likely because that is the way it is supposed to be. Just like all things in life we have choices. Sometimes people make the wrong choice. I do not feel that it is one sex or the other that can be blamed for polygamy. It does seem sometimes that men, especially now, just care about the one thing and do not have a responsible bone in their body. I am 100% against polygamy. Then again, I do believe the word of God so....

I agree with Shelly, we're all responsible for our own actions...man or woman.

I do not believe that either gender is monogamous by nature. I remember actress Scarlett Johanson catching a lot of flak for saying that about her own female gender, but I think that it is true. I believe that whoever cheats is at fault and has let down their significant other.

I think we are responsible for our own actions! I think it is is a bit of a cop out for the male to be in need of multiple relationships! sam

My thoughts
I am not against polygamy myself. I think there are people who can do just fine with multiple relationships. If these people can make it work and are can handle the lifestyle, then let them have it.
And then you try to make this a male issue. All the relationships that I have had personal connections to where someone slept around it has always been the woman who did the cheating. Does that mean all my make friends are just more loyal than the average man? Or does that men my guy friends just make bad choices in who they fall for? And the women I talk with generally have had more sexual partners in their lives than the guys I know.
So I would say that humans are not monogamous by nature, not man in the sexual classification aspect. And I do believe it to be true. But we have also evolved to a point where we have common sense and can see the advantages of being monogamous.

Straightforward - I think it is a high price for the woman to pay. When an oath is taken imho the man being not monogamous goes out the window. It pays I think to stay faithful in a relationship otherwise I think its best to stay free and single to do as you will. Women I think pay a high price for the many desires of man :). Of course it is vice versa if the roles are opposite. thanks for the visit.
