Cheaters Always Prosper (continued...)

I am finding the need to bring up the topic of “cheating” again because the logic behind the majority of people’s views on cuckoldry, adultery, and related scenarios is “tragically flawed” (my new phrase of the month).  Sure, the majority of people believe in the sanctity of commitment, marriage, or relationships, but there is a reason people are generally insecure about the topic, and the reason is simple.  Monogamy is not biologically sound and thus impossible to maintain. 

Humans have evolved past chimps and bonobos simply because we have the ability to reason.  Unfortunately this reasoning wasn’t meant to crossover into human mating.  If you have read my drama-free sex positive blog, you know that I blame this on Greek concepts brought over to the states by staunch followers who have no basis for the original theory and just passed it on from generation to generation.

But enough of me knocking something that won’t change, let’s talk about nature.  Have you ever seen a bug decide, “Hey, let’s stay together for the rest of our lives, because that’s natural, and our genes will perpetuate.”  No, you haven’t. 

The fact is, we aren’t programmed to have one partner for the rest of our life.  In fact, we are naturally inclined to mate with as many people as we possibly can in order to maximize the genetic potential of our offspring.  And to further this, I’m not just talking about males or females, it’s both. 

The justification for males comes merely in the fact that they are trying to maximize their genetic superiority in the environment by inseminating as many females as they possibly can.  Females, on the other hand, may find a mate who they decide to sleep with, but then, low and behold, a more genetically superior mate comes along, and bam, they sleep with him to increase her chances that our offspring will be…you guessed it, genetically superior.

The facts don’t lie.  The science and biology doesn’t lie.  Sure, we have evolved to reason, but where does that come in when it comes to perpetuating our genes?  It doesn’t.

So when I hear about this one and that one cheating on someone, it doesn’t surprise me.  In fact, I’m a pretty supportive which I realize is the direct opposite of some (most, if not all) of you, but I can’t deny evolution and biology. 

The bottom line?  Genetic superiority is justification for cheating.
