Can Men Be Monogamous? Should They Be?

Talking points: monogamy, relationships, culture


Well, can they? This started with me wondering why certain men who are notorious for sleeping around are suddenly hopping on the monogamy train, and ended with me hitting the record button and getting curious.

(00:00:00) - Intro and why I’m diving into this

(00:05:41) - Where does the idea that men CAN’T be monogamous come from?

(00:14:59) - Monogamous cultures can have benefits, even though modernity seems to disincentivize it

(00:16:22) - Most men ultimately prefer monogamy, but there are underlying issues
