Do you think it's impossible for a man to stay monogamous in a gay relationship?

yes baby, i'd love one actually

The answers so far seem to be of the perspective that being gay has some kind of inherent qualities that all gay men share.

This is where the thinking is off.

When will people learn that people are individuals. We aren't groups. Groups don't make decisions, they don't decide to be monogamous. Individuals do.

We as a gay community have become wrapped up in the idea that there is a gay community.

I am capable of a monogamous relationship.

My friend Ralph is not capable of a monogamous relationship.

We aren't the gay community as much as we are people who happen to be gay. We are men and women. The only difference between non-gay and gay people is the gender attraction. That is it!

We still put our socks on separate feet, we still all must consume sustanance, we all have to breathe oxygen. We all deal with 95 percent of the same relationship issues. Who makes the bed? How much is in the bank account? Does she still love me? How can I let him know that I love him? It's all there. We might all have different answers, but the questions are the same.

The question should be "Is it possible for ME to stay in a monogamous relationship?" or "Is it possible for my relationship partner to stay in a monogamous relationship?"

That's the only question that you can answer, or anyone has the right to answer.

This grouping of gay people as one mind is where stereotypes come from. People, gay or straight, are individuals making individual decisions.

Monogamous relationships in a gay relationship are entirely possible.

I know several gay couples who have been together anywhere from 10 - over 40 years and they are all very happy couples.

Mr Right will come along, sweep you off your feet and hopefully you will live happily every after.

absolutely not, thats just a stereotype. ive been in a happy monogamous relationship for a little over two years now, and i know several other couples who have been together longer. straight couples cheat just as much as gay couples, it just depends on the person, not the orientation

I think being faithful is difficult no matter is gay or straight. You have to have respect for the other person and some self control.

I myself have never cheated on my man, but I can't say that I have never been tempted.

I sure hope you are not doomed. You seem like someone that deserves to find true love. Please, keep searching for it.

Monogamy is difficult but there is no reason two mature men who are committed cannot be monogamous.

You are definitely NOT doomed, I do not think it is impossible, anything is possible. Never give anything less than your best, and most certinally do NOT ever accept anything less than the best and I will totally pray for you. I am not one of those obsessed religious people, but who knows maybe it will help!

Of course, monogamy has nothing to do with being gay. If all of your needs are being met in this relationship you will find little desire to stray.

No, I think it is very possible for ANY man, gay, bi or straight to stay monogomous. maybe this person was thinking of gays as steryotypical promiscuous, kiss & tell party boys.

Yes, unfortunately I DO think two men cannot stay monogamous. Not because they are gay.

Because they are men.
