I'll say this about that monogamy article. I agree with this section...

and yet do not follow how it convinces that more widespread use of non-monogamous relationships is the answer.

"Which is to say that no matter what one�s intentions are, promising to remain faithful does not remove the compulsion to have new partners. Perhaps it is no easier to suppress the desire for sexual variety than it is to suppress any other sexual desire. And in most other cases (where consent is not an issue), we don�t tend to righteously believe that suppression is a virtue.
Perhaps we�ve not fully considered that the cheater�s behaviour is not necessarily a sign of his lack of devotion to his wife. Perhaps his promise to be faithful � despite a strong compulsion not be so � is a measure of just how devoted he is. He�s willing to try to supress his most basic urges to hold onto his love. Or she, of course."
