I am certainly not making any attempt at all to undermine the happy marriages you are in. That is not at all my intent. This is surely meant to insight discussion about the concept.
It's interesting you brought up the animal kingdom, Grits. Because I instead see it as a big argument against marriage instead. As mammals we have only a very few distant cousins that mate monogomously for life: seals. Seals somehow mate once each year with the same mate every time. Even if the happy partnes part ways two months later, each will seek out the other where they met the year prior. That is pretty amazing, indeed!
However the majority of mammals are real whores!! Many mammals herd. People hear that word a lot but most don't know what it means. A herd of animals is usually comprised of females. They will travel between the territories of the males. If I am a male lion, the females will herd into my domain, where I will attempt to impregnate each and every one! If another male comes in and attempts to mate with any of my fine feline action, there is going to be a fight. Really I am telling him to simply wait his turn.
Personally I would like to see a herd of 21 year-old brunettes seek my terretory this week. It's not that I am a pig ( I don't know if wild pigs herd or not), it is just that my deep routed mammalian drive to spread my seed as far as possible leads me to want many, MANY partners. Is this so far off, or am I making excuses for my easy male counterparts?
