Interesting turn this conversation has taken here.
From my somewhat unusual perspective, I'd say this: one thing human beings seem to be really good at is liking and wanting whatever it is they like and want, and then putting a lot of energy into justifying why that's the right thing to like and want. I'm not sure that's a real productive use of our time and energy, frankly. Why not just like and want what you like and want, and have that be that?
Not everyone wants sex or relationships with more than one partner. Fine by me. I'm very clear with everyone I talk to about my relationships that it's NOT for everyone, nor do I think it's better than monogamy. It's what works for us, but it definitely wouldn't work for everyone. It might well not work for MOST people. Fine!
