- duaneb 11y agoSex at Dawn is highly speculative and polemic. Truthfully we have no idea what our "natural" relationship inclinations are. Personally, I think we are naturally monogamous but tend to have affairs. Additionally, it's more driven by economics than it is by sex.
- TallGuyShort 11y agoThis is a bit like saying humans are actually naturally homosexual, just because a significant portion of the population is. Or that humans are naturally turned on by fecal matter, just because some people sign up for websites tailored to that interest.

Given those numbers and that Adult Friend Finder is not specifically just for people in bad relationships, I would say that the evidence suggest strongly that we are predominately a monogamous species. http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/family-demography/families-and-households/2013/stb-families.html http://www.ons.gov.uk/ons/rel/family-demography/families-and...
