Those statements are entirely contradictory. Your methodology is not even remotely in the vicinity of scholarly.
>The data shows monogamy is aspirational
If 75-90% of monogamous relationships are successfully monogamous, I’d hardly call that aspirational.
> But with 40% of pregnancies unintended annually
Without know how many of those are monogamous couples, that statistic is useless.
If you want to get pretty close to the actual risk difference, take a look at the difference in STD rates between single and married people. Even adjusting for age, race, and income, single people are astronomically more likely to contract STDs than married people.
