Here's my $0.02:

I would say that people have a Natural tendency to twist that which is good.
It seems to me that there's a lot of good left in this world- but it also
seems that there are a lot of things that are somehow... well... amiss.

So I would say that many people _aren't_ naturally monogamous.  It seems to
me that monogamy is the ultimate environment for developing the relationship
between a woman and a man.  It provides an island of security, trust,
committment- things that seem to be in pretty short supply these days.
