Overall polygamous

how many people have been divorced and or cheated ...

how many people have had sexual relations with more then a couple lovers

how many people spend hours invested in porn or fantasy

Overall polygamous

In caveman terms:

Men are more polygamous--they can make more babies that way.

and women are more monagamous--if they can keep the attention of a man it's better for their children

But humans are unique in that we're not slaves to instinct. We can be whatever we want.

I would say monogamous ideally but circumstancially polygamous.

Monogamy is a beautiful fantasy but I believe most people are polygamous.

Cant speak for the whole but as an individual monogamous. There have been times I would like the other to be true but I am quite simply not built that way....

I don't think there's one true nature for all on this one. I think we all have our tendencies, but they vary from person to person. The important thing is to be honest with your partner(s) and yourself on what you want/need.

This is exactly what I feel. People are basically unique in their ability to choose their lifestyles.

I think there's a whole spectrum, and each person travels through that spectrum at different times in his or her life. Sometimes you feel like a nut, sometimes you don't. shrug

I think we will all be sexually tempted by other people from time to time regardless if we're in a relationship or not. That's only natural, and could be labelled as a polygamous disposition. On the other hand I think most of us strive to build a profound and long-lasting relationship with one person only, and I don't think we'd be prepared to get into that kind of (usually) sexually exclusive "agreement" unless we were monogamous as well. What kind of balance we keep between the two sides will be decided by how good the relationship is (if it's good and satisfying then we usually get less tempted by others) and also by what kind of personalities we have.
