I watched an interesting episode of 'The Good Wife' the other night where a woman met with her lawyer because she was being charged with murder. The thing with this woman is that, she's been married for 6 years and both her and her husband allow each other to sleep with other people because they don't believe that as humans people should limit themselves to one person sexually for the rest of their life. Her lawyer then asked her why does she need to sleep with other men, and her response was, why not? She said we as humans are forcing our bodies to do something it isn't built to do and that is to be sexually committed to one person. Her lawyer then asked why did she get married, she responded by saying, she got married because she loves her husband and he is the only one she will ever love, but she wants to experience someone else's orgasms, tastes someone else's tongue, skin etc. This episode kinda got me thinking about the whole monogamy thing and whether or not we are indeed forcing ourselves to be something we're not.
The character invoked God in her way of life, but that in itself is a huge contradiction, because someone else can invoke God in their way of life which is marriage and monogamy. So is it true, are we fooling ourselves and could this be the reason why men and women cheat? If you keep a dog chained up for a long time, once you take him of the leach he is going to sprint out the gate. Clearly we all have attractions to people other than our husbands and wives or boyfriends and girlfriends. But is not acting on these attractions mean that we are depriving our body's natural urges and needs? Marriage is hard work from what I've seen. I have friends who tell me they are no longer sexually attracted to their husbands or wives but they are working on getting that attraction back? What is that? How do you do that? Someone who feels this way is likely to go sleep with someone they are extremely sexually attracted to, and they would be wrong only because they are married. But some would say that is a natural human behavior. If someone no longer gets your panties wet, or your man meat hard, why force the issue right? I dunno. This whole thing is one big fucking 'WHO KNOWS'? I just know that, some couples who have open relationships where they can go out there from time to time to sleep with whoever they want, as long as they each know when, where and who, seem to have healthier relationships, but it takes two very mature people to do this. Some have tried and it has lead to disaster. The good thing above all this is that, the majority of people want marriage and monogamy. Its just sad that most of these people will eventually step out on their wife our husband because of natural urges they are not strong enough to control.
