Whatever the parties commit to as part of their agreement is how they should behave, which is why what Dan Savage says is so important. If they haven’t communicated, then one or both partners can allow their biological urges to override their partner’s assumptions, which wouldn’t be necessary if both were on the same page to start.

Human beings do many things they aren’t “hardwired” to do – communicating using a computer as one obvious example. Going to a job for 40 hours or more a week for another. It’s our higher capabilities to reason that separate us of from the rest of the animal kingdom. In most of which, monogamy is rare. Though swans and penguines seem to be hard-wired for monogamy – compelled by their social/cultural structures perhaps?

Again, human beings have CHOICE – which the “hard-wired” adherents like to ignore when making their arguments.
