I think monogamy is great if you have found the love of your life and you can honestly tell yourself you don't want to have sexual relations with anyone than your monogamous partner. It can be about trust and it can really enhance a relationship. However it is something you need to be ready for and it is just one of many variations in the spectrum of relationships with have. It is not the be all and end all

I entered into a monogamous relationship almost a year ago.
The positives are:
1. Monogamy means my partner and I can safely have unprotected sex, which is more enjoyable. There no risk of picking up a sexually transmitted disease.
2. Even though I am aware that many gay couples have successful open relationships, I feel that monogamy makes our relationship more secure because it reduces the chance that one of us will fall in love with someone else.
3. As Christian who is an active church member, I feel that monogamy is more in keeping with a Christian lifestyle, which emphasises the spiritual over the physical.
4. I have become very used to having sex with my partner and now I don't think it would feel right with another man.
The downside is that I miss the excitement and adventure of seeking out new sexual partners and exploring their bodies and sharing the experience with them.
But I feel the positives outweigh the negatives by far.

For a gay man, it is more precious than diamonds. It is rare to find a very committed and monogamous person. But don't get me wrong, I do respect other couples who have open relationships. Whatever works for you, do it but don't forget to use protection. By the way, I am in a monogamous relationship for 6 years now.

Well, MY views on monogamy is that it's pretty dead. In a sex-driven society, it just doesn't seem natural. HOWEVER, the one thing I absolutely despise is cheating/polygamy. I'm totally fine if you have multiple people joining in (yay... orgy) or if you have rules like Brian and Justin (QAF! *shrieks*), but if you just plain don't tell your partner about it, then that's f*cked up.

I'm bisexual and strictly monogamous. I still like that feeling of emotional connection with a person and I feel that it can only be attained by sharing your heart with just one special person.

I am naturally monogamous.
Cannot imagine ever cheating on a spouse.
Now, if I could just find a sane man who agrees with me :-)

Happily partnered and happily monogamous, great deal of value on it

I don't think people are naturally monogamous. It makes me a jealous controlling person. That's not me. Look into polyamory.
