The Sexual Freedom Project:  Origins of Monogamy
Channel: VenusPlusXColumbia
Date: 13/09/2011

Are exclusive, monogamous relationships in our genes? Or is it something artificially imposed upon us by the state, religion, corporations, or social custom? Why does monogamy survive? Or does it? Is it possible to maintain a primary loving relationship with one person, while having mostly sexual relationships outside of that relationship? How does monogamy strengthen a relationship, and how does it hurt or hamper it? What role does jealousy play in monogamy? Is monogamy viewed differently in the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, and kink communities than it is by straight people?
