There are so many fallacies in this post. A lot of the gay community is fiercefully faithful. You are making excuses for your own behavior because you feel your own desires and personality need to be excused. THAT is a product of our social construct. There is nothing wrong with the way you are choosing to live your life. But for many people companionship is desirable and a basic human instinct if you ask me. It's why people tend to go back to the familiar. We enjoy the comfort and satisfaction of not needing to impress. There is certainly allure in the new, but I feel that allure comes from the necessity to feel desirable to the opposite sex and less to do with "we aren't wired to be monogamous". If your partner makes you feel uninteresting you'll seek affection elsewhere. Humans are diverse creatures. We all have different wants and needs.It's not about effort for a man past a certain point of familiarity, it's about "newness". Men are biologically wired to fuck, and fuck often, and I'm not talking about doing the same woman. I could go into the gazillion sperm, multiple erections per day factoids, but everybody knows it already. Monogamy is a simply a social construct that does its best to override these biological drives. Look at homosexual men--mostly promiscuous, multiple partners, and *generally* aren't looking to settle down until they are older than the average straight guy. Homosexual men basically represent "the unfettered male"-- how a man would behave sexually if the various social constructs and restrictions imposed on a traditional male/female relationship didn't exist. A man is built to be a slut. Tell me guys, how many of you after blowing your load have had your "interest level" for the woman lying beside you drop to almost nil, at least until you are horny again? This is just a biological mechanism at work doing its best to have you "move on". Women on the other hand develop a closer bond upon having sex. So it's not about introducing "dirty talk" or costumes-- that will help/carry things along, but ultimately the man wants to *smell* a different woman, touch boobs he's never touched before, and hear a tone of moan he's never heard before. I honestly wish it wasn't the case, because I've felt like a total asshole passing up some marriage quality women when I was younger simply because I was "bored" of fucking them, but it's an urge that is very difficult to control..
Monogamy isn't a problem, the social stigma attached to people who decide not to adhere to that norm is.
