John Boyne suggests that monogamy is not the natural condition for humans, regardless of gender. He believes that restricting oneself to one sexual partner for decades can hinder happiness, as people have the capacity for more fulfilling experiences if they allow themselves the freedom to be with others they find attractive. This perspective challenges traditional views on committed relationships.

Boyne emphasizes that marriage should focus on friendship and companionship rather than solely on sexual exclusivity. He argues that true happiness in partnerships might come from openness and freedom, rather than strict Monogamy, which he implies can limit personal and emotional fulfillment in relationships. His views provoke reconsideration of conventional relationship norms.
