You're right Talion
I've never been married but I did live with a girlfriend for about a year. And I definitely agree with number 3.

What's unnatural is for humans to do what they are told they must do. Rebellion comes naturally to people. If human adults were told that they must have sex with at least 100 people each year and turn in an accounting record, probably it would turn people off from sex totally and there would be a great drop in propagation.

I've never been married, but I don't think I'd like the idea of my partner sleeping with another man even if it was open.

Actually, it is "ok" to have sex with others...
It's called an "open marriage" I believe...and the rules vary.
I don't really see anything wrong with having sex with as many people as one wants... but I think it should be done outside marriage.
Once you commit to marriage with someone, you have that persons feelings to think about as well as your own.

Monogamy and monotony. The only differences? Just the spelling, is all!

By asking such a question, I gather you've never been married. I could give you a long explanation about how much better sex is within a marriage, but I doubt it would settle anything. However, here's what I will say:
-
What seperates humanity from every other animal species is the opposable thumb and the ability to overcome instinct. Monogamy could very well be unnatural, but so is bravery and generosity to a certain degree.
-
For too many love includes possessiveness. Sharing is difficult if not impossible under those circumstances. I include myself in this assessment. The idea of my wife with another man is for lack of a better term, something I'd rather not envision.
-
I'm no expert, but what I've learned from others about cheating is it's seldom simply about sex. Sex outside the marriage is a symptom of a bigger problem, the effect, not the cause.
