  • Humans are not monogamous. A monogamous species would not feel sexual attraction and desire for people who are not their mate or a potential mate. The mere fact that we want to fuck everyone is proof, and insisting that humans are monogamous despite the available data showing someone has other partners in a huge portion of all long term relationships sounds a lot like denial.

    Human "monogamy" is a common social convention, not a biological feature of humanity. DUH.

      That's called cheating. Is that your excuse when you get caught? 'I can't help it, it's just my nature!'

      psychological denial

      Funny coming from someone who felt compelled to write this dumbshit comment on an anonymous forum justifying their shitty behavior.

      I really like pizza. I want to eat more pizza than is healthy. That is my nature. Fortunately I happen to be a human; humans possess higher cognitive abilities than animals, so they can employ logic rather than defaulting to natural instinct. Animalistic urges are not justification for being a piece of shit human being.
