I think though, that OP here is arguing that monogamy is more a product of society and not biological drive. He uses the example that many humans cheat (and as disgusting as that sounds to YOU, it's ALSO a social construct because there are other cultures which are not monogamous). So it doesn't matter what your personal opinion of the matter is, nobody here is arguing that breaking the social code you've agreed to is morally good.
That's a cool straw man, but I didn't make the argument that you're arguing against. My comment doesn't make any claims or state any "facts" about human nature beyond the self-evident. I don't make claims without supporting evidence, that's kinda the point.
