So you say you cannot overcome your biological needs?
Let me stop you right there.
Overcoming your biological needs? lol. Like eating eh? Or how bout sleep? Or deification? Or breathing, or sweating, or digesting food, or dreaming, or drinking water, or reproducing or any number of other things.
They CAN be overcome. Should they? That's up to you.

I'd argue that is not a natural "need" (Especially if you're the alpha, you don't need to fight for dominance).

Who says we're programmed? Then again, even if we are, why must we NOT?

Why do we believe in the disney fairy tales or of idealistic ideas of society? Don't be immature, people do things that don't make sense. Best to get used to it and accept it than try to morally rebel against it.

I agree that we can go for open marriages, but just because someone is not as "controlled" as you say they should be, doesn't mean there will cease to be cheating and whatnot. In the end, we ARE just animals.
YES, we CAN overcome it, but not everyone knows this, and even the ones who do, can't control every little thing.
Can you control yourself 100% of the time for the moral right side of things? Or do you get angry sometimes? Maybe you lust after a married woman. Don't pretend to be a saint, and don't expect others to be. Accept your an animal, and aspire to greatness if you must, but never forget what you are.
