I am “naturally” monogamous, as in I am perfectly fulfilled with a single partner at a time. A single relationship is just the maximum I can handle. On one hand, I think polygamy makes most sense. Having different needs met by different partners seems so good on paper, the necessity of clear communication is a great boon as well. On the other hand, I just don’t feel like that. I never even had crushes on multiple people at the same time. And being a moral person, I ended relationships when they weren’t working anymore.
This to say: some people just “are” monogamous. Not being a cheating asshole is extra, though.

i see what youre saying, but please dont use the word polygamy that way… the word youre looking for is polyamory, or the more general nonmonogamy. polygamy might be technically correct in the root word sense, but the modern definition means one man with multiple wives.
