However, if you've been paying attention to the differences between Humans and animals,we have been blessed with rational thought. Human's have been able to build dominion over this Earth because they have the ability to see beyond the moment at hand and take action (or inaction) for the longer term good. Sometimes this means resisting whimsical urges.This is why anarchy has been balanced with law and order in our most developed societies.
Monogamy in a way is a test of a person's overall worth as a human being in the eye's of their partner. It's a remarkable quality to be able to see past the moment and commit to something greater over a longer period of time. This is why it's an important quality for people. Thus some people try to find one person that can satisfy all three of those 'urges' and when an off night/week (or in the case of married or more devoted couples maybe months/years) occurs, they give them the benefit of the doubt and resist the urge to hump whatever walks by next. Ultimately they see long-term value and that's more important to them. When one partner in such a relationship breaks down and cheats then they've failed the test and a new more worthy partner must be sought after.
While not espousing to monogamy certainly isn't 'immoral' in my eyes, it's rather a sign of character flaw.

Wow... I don't think I could say it better.
People all about the BBD very often find themselves without a chair when the music stops. Somehow I think that "Gen Y polygamy" and "Emo" are not as mutually exclusive as one would think. Both are typically selfish, self-righteous and in the end, accomplish very little. There's always a woman with nicer legs, or fuller boobs, or a firmer ass... same with men. Its an eternal search for El Dorado, all while being a declining investment to that person. That's also only 1 out of at least 3 categories that should be important. That's part of our nature... find someone that attracts us physically, emotionally and romantically, bond with them, procreate, and live a full life together. While simple in theory, its one of the most difficult things for two people to do. That's why divorce is so high. Classic case of the disposal society and like Cowboy89 says, a serious character flaw.
I also think a real man would never share a woman. We're territorial creatures by nature, if a man won't protect his company and stand up for what's his then the emasculation is complete.
