Not necessarily from a moral perspective but a human one?
I am referring to the present day, not when your nearest neighbor was miles away and there was minimal interaction with other people.
There are not many species that mate for life and I am quite certain that humans are not one of them. Sometimes it just feels like a set-up.

Nope, not at all.
If it were natural there wouldn't be so many ruined relationships because of cheating partners.
If you have a strong sense of what's right and wrong and you do what's right, then monogamy is as easy as not robbing the bank or not murdering someone.

Monogamy does feel natural to me. When I was married it was natural to me so I guess that's why my ex and I are no longer married because he did not feel this way deep down inside at all. It was only after abusing me then committing fornication (adultery) did my ex want to suddenly be monogamous---when it suited him, but I didn't want to live a life with trash, so I ended it after about 2.5 years.
Now that I am single, I have been abstinate for a while now and it feels good to be in control of me. I don't appreciate all the whoring around in the world that I see daily and wonder what is so hard about being monogamous for most people. It depends on who they associate with. Bad associates spoil useful habits.
For my experiences in life I do not plan on getting married again but that could change as we all know if the right man were to show his commonalities and decent, wholesome, Godly standards to me that come from down deep; then maybe I might consider marriage once more. Most that I see in the world though, men and women, are sadly disappointing with all their whoring and filthing around.
I do know some couples who have been married most all of their early adult to elderly lives. You can learn a lot from these ones, esp. loyalty and trust, not giving into wrongful intentions, but strength, truth and decency.
I could mate for life if only the right person. Trouble is, there are not many good men left in the world today. In America, what, about 6 Million men are truly "good" men. The rest mimic one another and worldly, ungodly traditions.

No, I don't feel monogamy is natural for humans. Some do stay married for life (and at least 1/3 of them have affairs at some time in their marriage), some practice serial monogamy and get married over and over throughout their life, and others have open relationships.

Not at all. Monogamy only took root in society with the rise of the 3 monotheistic religions--Judeaism, Christianity, and Isalm. Prior the the coming of these religions, if a person could support more than one spouse, they usually had them.

Serial monogomy seems to be the way things are going. After all, there's WAY more people in the world today then there were in Biblical times, and we have more contact with each other.

its not natural or it wouldnt be so hard to maintain, its hard to tell what is natural or not because times are changin. i always say that its a set up. there are too many people to be with only one. now sexually it might be safer but i want to love more than one and i want more than one to love me. and i dont think that any one should ever repress themselves. open relationships built on communication and respect are the best way to go.

Sure. Many societies has practiced monogamy for thousands of years, so it seems natural for most people.

Animals don't have feelings, jealousy, envy, etc. Sure, they can screw whoever and all is well. Humans are more complicated. For that reason alone, I feel it is necessary, though not sure if it's actually natural.
