More and more people are opting for open or polyamorous relationships – or at least they can imagine living that way. “The topic has become more socially acceptable,” says psychologist and sexologist Caroline Fux. But she also warns that such relationships are not easy: “You have to put more effort into relationships, on several fronts.”
Psychotherapist Tim Wiesendanger says: “Many feel overwhelmed by the monogamy system.” Everyone has to decide for themselves which form of relationship is the right one.
But why has monogamy established itself as the standard model of relationships at all? We asked psychologists, philosophers, biologists and historians about the new episode of the knowledge podcast “Durchblick”.
