“Sex at Dawn”: Why Monogamy Goes Against Our Nature

Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality

Salon Magazine did an interview with Christopher Ryan and Cacilda Jethá, the authors of the new book “Sex at Dawn: The Prehistoric Origins of Modern Sexuality,”, about the sorry state of marriage in the western world, and how monogamy goes completely against evolution.

From Salon:

But Ryan and Jethá also have a theory for what’s causing this misery: From a biological perspective, men and women simply aren’t meant to be in lifelong monogamous unions. In “Sex at Dawn,” which uses evidence gathered from human physiology, archaeology, primate biology and anthropological studies of pre-agricultural tribes from around the world, they argue that monogamy and the nuclear family are more recent inventions than most of us would expect — and far less natural than we’ve come to believe.

This stuff has been written about in hundreds if not thousands of books. For men especially, monogamy is almost impossible, especially after the kids are grown up. The male brain sends a signal saying “hey, look, this woman has given us two kids, they’re both grown up now, they don’t need us anymore, we can leave and start a new family with a much younger and hotter woman”.

Men are visual creatures. We see a hot babe, the blood flow to the brain stops and it all goes straight to the penis, wanting us to “pro-create”.

Kinda like when I see the Brooklyn Decker, all I want to do is have unprotected sex with her. She’s so hot that I wouldn’t care how many baby’s I’d have with her. Hot babes are much better to have baby’s with. Who wants to have make a baby with an ugly chick? You’ll be thinking to yourself “Fuck, if that’s what she looks like now, imagine what she’s going to look like in 18 years”. That’s when you jump off a bridge.
