It's funny, I often ask this too. There are biological and anthropological reasons for both monogamy and polygamy.
I think, like a lot of things us humans have to put up with, it's a dilemma between our animal selves and our human selves. Both of which are important and have equal right over our thinking and our existence. I don't use either term as a 'lesser self'. The curse of an organism that got a little too smart for it's world, but is still tied to it.
