Monogamous

I just read an article talking about whether its natural for humans to have one partner or if we're actually constructed to.. well, get around.

The author compared being monogamous to being vegan. Just because it's a choice you may make doesn't mean it's natural.

I mean, yeah, I want to get married one day and all that. And sometimes I really do miss having a boyfriend. But then I think, for what? And after an annoying amount of reflecting I reach the conclusion that I probably only really want someone I can depend on a little. Someone I can always call, and don't have to worry about if he wants to sleep with me or not because I know he wants to sleep with me but he wouldn't not want to hang out with me if it wasn't for that.

Hey, I'm a girl after all. Just because I'm realistic doesn't mean I don't appreciate being cared for.

What I don't want though is the jealousy, the "whose he?" and "what kind of friends are you"s. I don't exactly miss being faithful either.

I love being wanted. It's the only thing really keeping my confidence existent.

I don't see the problem in being friends etc., the only difference is that you don't talk about lovey dovey stuff, which I really don't miss by the way, and that you can have this kind of thing with several people.

Monogamy can wait.
