    It used to be really stigmatized for a woman to cheat but not for a man. That seems really sexist, and probably is, but there is at least some reasoning behind it besides sexism. If a woman cheated there used to be no way to know if the child was yours or not. While most people would agree that you should care for the child just the same because it was not it’s fault, biologically and evolutionally it makes sense. As for why it still exists, it is probably a mix between religious tradition and biology/psychology. Casual sex is one thing but cheating on someone is completely another. Your boyfriend/girlfriend is supposed to be the most important person to you. If you chose someone else over them you are saying that they are less important. How would you feel if your best friend kept

    Historically, safe and effective birth control is a very recent and inexpensive option. During the millenia prior to this, hetero-sex generally led to pregnancies. Since women are the ones who carry and bear children, we’re on our own to support and raise a kid if the guy decides to bail and spread his seed elsewhere. Biology is destiny. It’s more common for males of all species to seek variety since they aren’t forced to deal with the consequences of pregnancy. If men were the ones who got pregnant and had to stay home with the kids, they might be more inclined to seek a woman willing to settle down and make a commitment to monogamy. Just Curious

    I believe some people are naturally monogomous, like me, not a choice I made. Some are naturally polyamorous, I don’t think that is really a moral choice either. It’s important to know who you are and be honest about it. It’s pretty awful to pass yourself off as monogomous to get the monogomous person you want only to cheat on them and distroy them emotionally because ‘monogomy is stupid’, or ‘just because I F’ed that person dosn’t mean I love you less’. But it’s also important for a monogomous person to be realistic about getting involved with people who are honest about not being naturally monogomous or who admit to a history of cheating, they will eventually cheat on you and wonder why you are making such a big deal about it.
