The second myth mentioned by Terri grabbed my attention- the myth that monogamy is the best relationship style for everyone. Monogamy in most cultures is the far dominant and normalized relationship style, so this myth popped out to me. Through Terri's talk, she discussed how polygamous relationships are scrutinized and stigmatized, however polygamous individuals are far more likely than cheating monogamous individuals to report prior to a sexual encounter. Also, polygamous individuals were far more likely to have used condoms than the monogamous cheaters. When it comes to major aspects in their relationships, there are essentially no differences in topics like commitment to the relationship, levels of passionate love, relationship satisfaction, and trust in one's partner. It is shocking how incredibly powerful mainstream ideology can be to the perceptions of the public as a negative perception is placed against the polygamous populations. Referring back to module 3, 25% of men and 15% of women have committed infidelity. Even though the polygamous population is looked down upon by general perception, the monogamous populations still commit infidelity at a large rate- even when committing to a single sexual partner. It is a largely hypocritical position for the monogamous population to find themselves in.
