Australian researchers have published a study challenging the notion that monogamous relationships are inherently superior to non-monogamous alternatives. Their meta-analysis, incorporating 35 studies with nearly 25,000 participants, revealed no significant differences in relationship satisfaction between consensually non-monogamous individuals and those in monogamous relationships. The researchers assert that our societal belief in monogamy's moral superiority is unfounded and emphasizes the need to reconsider the role of infidelity and the stereotypes surrounding different types of relationships.
The findings debunk the monogamy-superiority myth, revealing that different types of relationships, including polyamorous ones, have similar levels of satisfaction as monogamous ones.
Our research shows that consensually non-monogamous individuals report comparable satisfaction levels to their monogamous counterparts, challenging long-held beliefs about the superiority of monogamy.
This widespread belief in monogamy as a moral choice is largely shaped by sociocultural norms, but our study suggests there's no evidence supporting its supposed benefits.
The idea that monogamous relationships inherently offer greater intimacy and trust is merely a perception, rather than a reflection of actual satisfaction.
