"... Part of monogamy is breed into our subconscious, part is based on proximity, part is due to social context, and part is, well, emotional ..."

When you mean monogamy do you mean sexually exclusive or socially monogamous? There is some evidence to suggest the later more than the former. [0] And some counter arguments. [1]

The article linked says, "that differing levels of interest in monogamy for our own species are also partly a matter of biology". I meant to infer the same thing and am sorry if I did not. I believe that both biology[3] and society in part play a role on our views.
