Is it natural for men to have more than one mate?

[yeezusdisciple]

Even if i got a girl im still attracted to others

And i know many other people like this

Ino in old societies and still today men have multiple wives

So do men naturally need multiple wives and has society constrained us to just 1?

My father was a sociologist during his academia days and I got to have an interesting discussion with him on this topic not too long ago.

He believes the idea of monogamy is socially conditioned to the human mind and isn't such a very old concept at all--relatively speaking. He wrote a thesis paper during his graduate studies and he told me that he had findings showing that monogamy didn't really start until maybe 10,000 years ago, right around the same time humans discovered the idea of domesticating plants and animals. He went into much further detail, but I don't think this is the capacity in which the thread was intended for. I figured this would interest some of the readers here.

I know this isn't the answer to the question the OP asked for, but I think men can be monogamous and it's really a choice for the individual. Naturally as a human being--You'll find another person attractive, but what you choose to do with that attraction is totally up to you. I don't think we're naturally "programmed" to want to have sexual relations with every women we're attracted to. I'm speaking for myself at least. I know some men who can never stay monogamous. Not a knock to them, but in today's society that method of living isn't socially acceptable in most social circles.

My view with society vs nature is you can look at animal species and see what theyre predisposed to doing and that will give you what is natural. So if a Lion in the wild has multiple mates than that is what nature intends for us.

You're treading dangerous waters with this one.

You do, what you tell yourself to believe. If your belief system is based on society/culture/religion ..ect then that is what you tell yourself to do. Simple as that.

Be careful when using the word natural when discussing relationships OP. Some people may become offended.

My thing is, if you want to play the field, don't make the commitment. Don't sit there and wife a chick up, have her fall in love with you, if you're just gonna go around screwing other chicks.

Monogamy may or may not be natural, but if one makes the commitment, it should be honored fully.

Great book! Everyone should read it.

Monogamy is both unnatural and natural. Certain species are with one mate their entire lives and most aren't.

Difference between us and them is our consciousness. So because we have created the idea of monogamy, then yes it abides by the laws of nature and is very real.

There's no right or wrong. It's always a choice.

But society is not that of nature. If you live by society you will not live a natural life.

I'm an empiricist so I go by what the research says and it still remains a puzzle.

Monogamy works for some and doesn't work for others. If you don't feel you can make a commitment to just one person, don't force it. 

 

[tay1]

Why would you need more than one? Just keep ******* these broads until you ready to settle,

This is such disputable subject for me. I've been in love with a girl and felt like I wanted to be with her for the rest of my life, have a family etc... But man, the urges are indescribable it's like a vampire wanting blood. And it's not like shawty wasn't satisfying my physicsl needs, she was to the fullest. It's like being in costco, you just wanna sample everything cuz you know you can get it for free. You may not buy it but you have this urge to try it. It's sad, I wish I had more self-control, I do when it comes to other facets of my life...but when it comes to relationships it feels unnatural to tell myself I can't have something when I know I can. I think it's cuz I was single and all I did was "playa playa play on" during my formative years as a young adult. If I was in a relationship instead of being single from 17-24 I feel like I'd have more of a predisposition to be faithful. But those are not the habits I formed all those years so I have to reprogram myself

No, any/everyone with this belief is a moron if this is truly your belief. , I seriously feel bad for anyone who thinks this way, it's a serious path to unhappiness.

If you wanna screw around just don't commit. It's simple logic. Why get married or have a serious GF if you want other broads

 

[og_Rodney]

I get wanting multiple sexual partners, but why anyone would want more than one wife is beyond me.

I can agree, satisfying one woman emotionally is stressfull enough [emoji]128565[/emoji][emoji]128165[/emoji][emoji]128299[/emoji][emoji]128168[/emoji]
