We are not hardwired to be monogamous for our lifetime- according to these researchers…



So now we are just going to go with what we are hardwired to do? Yikes. In otherwords, I’m not buying what these authors are selling. I’ve learned to be skeptical of Evolutionary Psychology and, in part, it’s because of this relentless drive to justify sexual behavior via our earliest ancestors. Although I have not read this particular book.

As the mother of a child whose sexuality is often cast as not being natural or normal, I am very wary of the ways people justify their sexuality and their sexual actions. Be monogamous. Be non-monogamous. Don’t ever have sex. Have it everyday. I care far, far less about what a person believes they are hard wired to do and far more them taking responsibility for their actions.

Instead of pointing to books and the latest studies, I wish more adults would sit down, talk about what they want and honor the agreements made. Don’t care what the agreement is so long as it’s between consenting adults.
