Finally someone is saying this! My friend Jenny Block, Lambda Literary Award-winning author of Open, at Newsweek:

As it turns out, desire is exactly what’s at issue here. Human beings desire variety. We desire multiple partners. It’s a simple fact that’s built into our biology. And while some choose monogamy simply because it feels right, I think many more of us choose it because we think it’s what we’re supposed to do. You don’t want to end up an old maid or a lonely bachelor, do you?

Monogamy just isn’t always realistic. There’s nothing wrong with admitting that. It simply doesn’t work for some. And just as people choose different religions, eating habits, and places to call home, I believe we should be able to choose different ways to live out our relationships.

As sad as it sounds to me, I think I’m starting to agree with this. I always had dreams of an everlasting love with one person, but as I grow and have new experiences, I’m learning that my dreams might not be based in reality….
