#monogamy

We drove to the hotel and said goodbye. How hypocritical to go upstairs with a man you don't want to fuck, leave the one you do sitting there alone, and then, in a state of great excitement, fuck the one you don't want to fuck while pretending he's the one you do. That's called fidelity. That's called monogamy. That's called civilization and its discontents. ↗

Making love with a woman and sleeping with a woman are two separate passions, not merely different but opposite. Love does not make itself felt in the desire for copulation (a desire that extends to an infinite number of women) but in the desire for shared sleep (a desire limited to one woman). ↗

— Milan Kundera

Confusing monogamy with morality has done more to destroy the conscience of the human race than any other error. ↗

Promiscuity is like never reading past the first page. Monogamy is like reading the same book over and over. ↗
