Comparison of Monogamous and Non-Monogamous Relationships

A new study challenges the belief that monogamous relationships are superior, showing that there is virtually no difference in relationship and sexual satisfaction between monogamous and consensually non-monogamous arrangements. Non-monogamous individuals reported higher levels of trust and satisfaction in certain areas, debunking common assumptions. The research, conducted by Joel R. Anderson of La Trobe University, was published in The Journal of Sex Research.

Changing Attitudes Towards Singlehood Among Teenagers

A new study suggests that teenagers today are more likely to be single and happier about it compared to previous generations, possibly due to prioritizing personal autonomy over romantic involvement. The research found that adolescents born between 2001 and 2003 reported significantly higher satisfaction with singlehood. While societal norms around romantic relationships may be shifting, challenges associated with long-term singlehood still exist.
