There is no such thing as a Stupid Question!

Don't be embarrassed of your curiosity; everyone has questions that they may feel uncomfortable asking certain people, so this place gives you a nice area not to be judged about asking it. Everyone here is willing to help.


Reminder that the rules for lemmy.ca still apply!


Thanks for reading all of this, even if you didn't read all of this, and your eye started somewhere else, have a watermelon slice 🍉.

Or maybe, "why is monogamy so prevalent?" Tbh I don't have the stats on hand to feel confident asking it that second way, hence the title question, but in either case the question still stands.

It’s not that common, what’s common is married people claiming to be monogamous.

If we take that to truly be the case, then the question slightly changes to (setting aside maybe some jurisdictional details), why marry & make the claim?
