Apparently, Scarlett Johansson Doesn’t Think Monogamy Is Natural: Do You?

It doesn't matter what era you're in, sex is always on people's minds.  These days, however, it just so happens to be circulating polyamory.  People are becoming much more open about sex, and as a result, they're becoming far less uptight.  So what does this mean for people believing in monogamy?  Well, according to Scarlett Johansson, she believes it shouldn't even exist.  Keep reading to find out why Scarlett Johansson doesn't think monogamy is natural.

The polyamorous future. We’re now in the era of mainstream polyamory. People are becoming more open to trying new things in the bedroom, even if it doesn’t include their partner — no matter how committed they are to them. Sex is starting to become redefined. Couples are separating love from sex and having more fun on account.

ScarJo knows. Jumping aboard the polyamory train is everyone’s favorite Avenger, Scarlett Johansson. She's a mother who recently left a committed relationship, but she's done some soul searching over the years. What she discovered is that reserving your genitals for just one person for the rest of life is just silly, according to an interview with Playboy.

Natural attraction. The way Johansson sees it, we’re just naturally attracted to beautiful things. So, when it comes to humans, we want to engage with them and satisfy that attraction. How do we do that? We have sex with them. However, with monogamy, it prevents that from happening.

Difficult monogamy. Someone who’s just left a relationship her husband Romain Dauriac, Johansson has had time now to think about sex and love. So when she spoke with Playboy, she said, “I don’t think it’s natural to be a monogamous person. I might be skewered for that, but I think it’s work. It’s a lot of work.”

The need to be natural. Even though we’re rooted around the idea that sleeping with someone who isn’t your partner is cheating, that’s not to say that it’s natural, and Johansson completely agrees with that way of thinking. “The fact that it is such work for so many people—for everyone,” she said, “the fact of that proves that it is not a natural thing.”

The constant challenge. Anyone who’s been in a long term relationship understands how difficult it can be to pretty much keep it in your pants. You do it because you’re committed, but is this something that needs to change? Do committed love lives in general need an update in the sex department.

Temptation everywhere. As most people can relate to, Johansson just doesn’t see why we should worry so much about being monogamous. Seeing as there is temptation around every corner, it just makes getting through life feel like a nearly impossible task to navigate through.

Wanting too much. Now, taking Johansson’s perspective into consideration, is there a chance that maybe we’re just being “too” free” Do we want more just for the sake of wanting more? Or do you humans deserve more wiggle room when it comes to getting down and dirty with people?

Other opinions. Now, even though ScarJo’s opinion stands out because she’s famous, she’s definitely not to the only person on this planet to think this. In fact, researchers and common folk alike have sounded their opinion on the subject, all of them in favor of testing out polyamory.

Marriage and settling down. Just look at how humans get married and “settle down.” They force themselves into a situation where sleeping with someone else can destroy their lives. Meghan Laslocky covered this topic on CNN, according to Forbes, and she thinks monogamy may be too much to handle.

A new concept. Laslocky says that when you marry someone for love, it’s a “relatively new concept,” and it’s just a way for humans to set themselves up for disappointment. She thinks that it’s not fair for people to feel as though they need to live up these expectations.

Morals and ethics have nothing to do with it. The thing is, if you want your relationship to not be a monogamous one, you’re not a bad person. As Laslocky explains, “even the most honorable, ethical and moral” people want to sleep around, but not because they hate their partner.

Just like the animals. If you think that not being monogamous is unnatural, then just look at… nature. According to Beverly Golden via The Huffington Post, mammals are not meant to be monogamous, and “only 3 percent to 5 percent are known to form lifelong bonds with one mate.”

The health aspects. Now, while all of this may be fine and true, a positive angle on monogamy is the fact that it prevents people from contracting various illnesses and infections. You lower your risk significantly by just sleeping with one person for the rest of your life (after you’ve settled down, of course).
