Monagamy A Myth?
Narrator:
^^^^^^ It has less to do with morality and more to do with the fact that it's a trend of Western countries where the population is used to living in affluence. People who are educated and who have ambitious career plans (read: myself) simply don't see their first objective in life as getting married and having kids. Whereas people who are poor and have little education don't have the ambition or the money to be so mobile, so they just stay home and fuck their wives and have lots of kids. That's why in Europe and America right now, divorce rates are so high and marriage rates (and, correspondingly, birth rates) are so low.
Personally, I wouldn't be opposed to it from a practical standpoint because if fewer people are getting married and having kids, then we're less likely to have overpopulation problems in the near future. The issue is that right now, we can't let the Muslims out-breed us if we wish to maintain world dominance, which is kind of what's happening with them now.

If you actually believe that, it makes me doubt you've had sex yourself.
You may "think" you need it, but when it comes to fulfilling psychological needs, perception is reality. It's not necessarily about the need to sleep with lots of people; it's about when spouse can't fulfill the other's sexual needs (or both). There is no moral superiority in being married and monogamous if you're unhappy with the person you're with.

Quite a few people I know are married, and they sure as hell are not happy, either. Which is why some of them cheat and others get divorced, or just spend lots of time whining to me and other people I know who are single.

And they couldn't be happier.

Ignorance is bliss. I won't deny that. But you aren't necessarily a better person for it.

i think the shit is twisted nowadays people just don't give a f**k, think about it. people get married bcuz they think they are going 2 live this disney dream, and want that fairytale wedding. in reality they probably don't even know each other that well. things like money, who has and how much to spend, can mess things up. which leads some people to go sbe with someonw else. nowadays is just to easy to quit, and not try to work things out.
