There is an opinion that some people are "monogamous", while others are always willing to have an affair with someone else. Is it so? In this article, we will consider such a concept as "monogamy" - what is it? And does this phenomenon exist in men?

Male monogamy: what is it and does it exist?

Some people tend to believe that men have always been and, in fact, should be polygamous, because it is so provided by nature. This argument is often used to justify cheating, but how is it really? Does monogamy exist? Men are attracted to women by a "basic instinct". In nature, this happens like this: individuals met and conceived offspring. And in life, sometimes after that, trips or "views" to the left begin. The instinct works, it has not disappeared anywhere. The difference is that a woman can have sex with several men and end up pregnant with only one child. A man, having had fun with several women, can impregnate them all.

Monogamy - what is it and why is it needed?

Yes, the main instinct is to staysafe, survive and reproduce. But man alone is weak. To survive, it is important to get close to other people. Therefore, a man also needs monogamy. Firstly, so as not to compete with other representatives of the "stronger sex", and secondly, so that his woman would support him, help him, take care of him. Therefore, in a monogamous relationship, both instincts are satisfied - the desire for survival and procreation. Psychologists believe that love is not a lyric, but a necessary need, which is designed to ensure the safety of a person.

Monogamy - what is it and how does it relate to marriage?

Civil marriage is a strange phenomenon. It seems to be a pity to part, and somehow scary to get close. A more courageous option is when people have several marriages behind them. They are not afraid to take responsibility. Our trouble is that we cannot understand ourselves, realize our instincts and needs and understand what we really need. Agree that it is much easier to "get" the necessary sex in a monogamous union than to "get affection" if you have polygamous relationships.

If you are faithful to your partner, you can connect the intellect to the relationship and create amazing experiences emotionally and physically. If it is not possible to create special conditions for making love, energy can be released into creativity, sports or work. Sex can be found, but quenching the thirst for affection, love and understanding is impossible without a monogamous relationship. Polygamy and monogamy give us completely differentpossibilities, and the opposite. If there is no attachment, one way or another, there will be a void in the heart, which some people fill with the help of "love" for pets, other people's families and others. But it's still not the same.

We make our own choices. And consciously. Our instincts are not strong enough to overshadow the mind, so do not blame nature. And we pay for our choice. So, some women give up the desire to have children and agree to be associated with bad sex, but safety. There are also men who pay for the opportunity to sleep with different women with instability, anxiety and insecurity.
