I suspect that mankind is naturally monogamous, though also promiscuous.
It is one thing to have many lovers, and another to take many wives.
Certainly married love seems to be more popular than promiscuity,
whatever women's magazine surveys may say.

On the other hand, some fathers (and mothers) run extraordinarily
successful campaigns to convince their sons to be unfaithful to their
wives.  It seems to be a tradition in some families.
