Argument for #Monogamy

This is a response to a facebook post from a popular underground culture writer promoting tired ideas of free sex (love?)...

Geez - Let it go! This was already experimented with throughout history - most recently the 1960s with so called 'free love' - that has only led to tons of unwanted pregnancies, abortions, STDs (along w/ no sex ed) and broken hearts. While it's true that our consciousness (brains) are battling millions of years of multiple partners - this is primitive pre-enlightened behavior that was mostly propagated based upon the physical dominance of men, regardless of what women thought. Some will say that women too think often about sex - which may be true but use Beyonce as a modern example of a full on sexually liberated feminist who exploits her sexuality in her overall performer presentation - (which I don't like - bad influence on young women and men - Aretha & Whitney never had to go down on their knees to gain respect for great singing) yet it was Jay-Z that cheated. Women can control themselves better than men - high levels of testosterone surely play a role in this bad promiscuous behavior. Bad for several reasons but here are what I think are the important ones - mainly - people are not objects just to have sex with - they/we are complex miracles with real emotions. Attachments are natural and inevitable in this most sacred of acts that can lead to creation in the form of new human beings. Another consideration is that one can try to justify this promisquity as normal based on evolution - but others have tried to justify other bad behaviors such as slavery and control of women with the same argument - the 'it's always been like this so this is okay' argument - Wrong! It's called evolution of ideas/consciousness and making progress as sentient beings. We must learn that love is the key, lock and the door to this debate. Not sex - the Hindus believe that eventually one needs to get over this primitive drive to procreate in later life - the final stage known as Moksha (same as Nirvana) where one tries to purify their spirit by letting go of earthly desires and reconnect with our highest Godhead potential. Finally it's hard enough to have one really good relationship/connection with a mate never mind trying to bring more into the picture. Monogamy is the cosmic challenge. The benefits of pure Love for those who make it work are what we all wish for deep down in our inner most souls.
