    Savage believes monogamy is right for many couples. But he believes that our discourse about it, and about sexuality more generally, is dishonest.

Yep. I agree with this premise completely. I think our beliefs around monogamy and the expectations we propagate are not aligned with healthy reality, and that the number of couples in monogamous relationships should be far fewer that it is currently, with a cultural acceptance and benevolence to go along with that.

Being newly married, of course I'm talking about other people :P
