“Monogamy Is for the Poor: 69-Year-Old Spanish Sexologist’s Provocative Take on Human Sexuality”
Manuel Lucas Matheu, a renowned 69-year-old Spanish sexologist with decades of experience in the field, has sparked intense debate and discussion with one of his most provocative theories yet.The expert boldly claims that human beings are not monogamous by nature. Instead, according to Matheu, most people choose to have only one partner simply because they are poor. He argues that maintaining several simultaneous relationships is actually a luxury that only wealthy individuals can realistically afford — something beyond the reach of the average person due to financial, time, and social constraints.In addition to his views on monogamy, Matheu makes another striking statement: he believes that our real sexual organ is not the genitals, but the skin itself. He emphasizes the importance of touch, sensuality, and full-body intimacy.
Furthermore, he suggests that societies which allow greater freedom in terms of intimacy and sexual expression tend to be the most peaceful and harmonious overall.After dedicating more than four decades to the in-depth study of human sexual drive and behavior, Manuel Lucas Matheu — who serves as president of the Spanish Society for Intervention in Sexology (S.E.I.S.) and is a respected professor and member of the academic commission for the official Master’s program in Sexological Sciences at the University of Almería — invites us all to rethink our assumptions.He encourages society to examine how economic factors, social class, and cultural norms heavily influence and shape our deepest desires, relationships, and sexual choices.
His ideas challenge traditional beliefs about love, fidelity, and human nature, pushing for a more honest and open conversation about sexuality in the modern world.Is he right? His controversial theory continues to generate strong reactions, with some praising it as a refreshingly honest perspective and others questioning its implications. Either way, Manuel Lucas Matheu has once again succeeded in making people talk seriously about topics that are often left unspoken.
