Whether straight or gay, most men start their relationships desiring monogamy.          This is rooted in the pervasive notion that monogamy exists as a sign of true love.          Yet despite this deeply held cultural ideal, cheating remains rampant. In this        accessible book, Eric Anderson investigates why 78% of men he interviewed have        cheated despite their desire not to.Combining 120 interviews with research from the        fields of sociology, biology, and psychology, Anderson identifies cheating as a        product of wanting emotional passion for one's partner, along with a steadily        growing desire for emotionally-detached recreational sex with others. Anderson coins        the term "e;the monogamy gap"e; to describe this phenomenon.Anderson suggests that        monogamy is an irrational ideal because it fails to fulfil a lifetime of sexual        desires. Cheating therefore becomes the rational response to an irrational        situation.The Monogamy Gap draws on a range of concepts, theories, and disciplines        to highlight the biological compulsion of our sexual urges, the social construction        of the monogamous ideal, and the devastating chasm that lies between them. Whether        single or married, monogamous or open, straight or gay, readers will find The        Monogamy Gap to be an enlightening, intellectually compelling, and provocative        book.
