COUPLES DON’T AGREE TO BE MONOGAMOUS

 

COUPLES

A lot of couples actually don’t agree on monogamy. A study at Oregon State University, that involved 434 young heterosexual couples ages 18-25, found in 40 percent of couples — both married and unmarried — only one partner says the couple agreed to be sexually exclusive, while the other partner said there was no agreement.

Even among the couples who agreed they had an explicit agreement to be monogamous, almost 30 percent say at least one partner had sex outside the relationship. Interestingly, couples with children were less likely to have a monogamy agreement in place, while married couples were no more likely to have an explicit monogamy agreement than unmarried couples.
