Do you feel a need for more love than one person can give?

Unless you believe in polyamory, there is no social support for people having more than one lover. Most people view polyamory as a kind of perversion, anyway. Still, to judge by the number of people who venture outside their relationships for sex or love, it seems to me that there must be a lot of people who aren’t getting enough of something, be it sex or love.

Some, I think, are in relationships where the pizazz has disappeared. Or there is a lack of communication. Then there are the sex addicts.

Maybe some of this is related to evolutionary pressures—men being men and women seeking to tame them. But maybe some is due to a feeling of a deficit—a hole inside that seems like it is never filled and requires love after love.

Do you feel a need for more love than one person can give? Or would you explain an interest in other people besides your significant other in another way? If you are satisfied with the love you have, how do you explain the others who commit or think about committing infidelities?
