/begin slightly off topic rant
not to sound like a square (though using this term from 1962 probably insures it) I've known many people who are living in polygamous or "open" relationships and while i have no problem with this in theory it often seems like the individuals advocating that we leave monogamy behind are just people who can't make a relationship work, no matter how many people are involved.

I don't believe that humans are inately monogamous or polygamous but that we develop sexual relationships based on the patterns we have been indoctrinated to. since our society has set monogamy as the norm for good or for ill the majority of people emulate that pattern.
