Where is Professor Marston's "wrong"

First of all, I admit that the concept of "marriage" is a concept born out of the low productivity of primitive society and insufficient resources. Because first of all, the instinct of animals is to reproduce and nurture offspring in addition to eating and drinking, and human beings in primitive society are of course no exception. So here comes the problem, you risk your life every day to go out hunting and picking fruits and come back to raise your baby, just so that your ancestral DNA can continue to be passed on, but what if this baby is not your own, if this baby is the one holding him The female found Pharaoh the day before exercising with you, and your tadpole is not fast enough to overtake and chase Pharaoh's tadpole after a day's delay, then you are desperately helping Pharaoh raise a baby, and you His excellent DNA was not passed on. So how do you make sure this baby is your baby? Since the speed and vitality of the tadpoles cannot be determined, only the track can be determined. Thus, "marriage" was born. Bind the female to you and do not allow her to exercise with others. Naturally, the baby she gives birth must be your baby. Of course, these are all instincts. At that time, human beings did not have any advanced ideas, and they were purely for their own children and grandchildren.

Therefore, before the emergence of civilization, there may be no so-called clear form of "marriage", but the concept has already emerged. The marriage has continued for thousands of years, until now. Maybe in a few hundred years, thousands of years, tens of thousands of years, all human beings will have jack ma per capita. At that time, the word "marriage" may only exist in history books. And I believe that at that time, it was already true "communism", and the distribution system became "distribution according to needs", not "distribution according to work" that required you to be a social animal.

At this time, I want to mention another point, desire. Go back thousands of years and go back to the original starting point. Why is it possible that the baby you raised is not your own baby? Because the process of making a baby is full of pleasure, it may be Lao Wang, or it may be the female. He/she wants to experience this pleasure, their idea, which is sex. As the saying goes, drink enough food to satisfy your lust. However, as I just said, it is still in the stage of low productivity and insufficient resources, and "monogamy" has long been engraved in the bones of most human beings in the world, so get rid of the concepts and ideas of this , at least for a short period of time, cannot be accepted by most people, let alone the 1940s. During this period, the progress of human beings needs to restrain their own desires. Note that this does not mean complete abstinence. After all, most of the achievements and inventions of human beings today are to satisfy various human desires. However, exercise restraint. It's very simple, everyone has inertia, at least most of them are, so if a person fishes every day when he goes to work, can he still create value for the company and society? Therefore, in order to avoid the tragedy of the extreme situation of "hereafter the king will not come early", human beings must restrain their own desires.

And our Professor Marston went in the other direction, of course, under the condition that all conditions are met, your desires are allowed to be released, but, at the current stage of human beings, Professor Marston's behavior is not encouraged. Including the Marston couple kneeling to Olive at the end, and Elizabeth's confession to Olive, it can also be understood that after the Marston couple shared the joy of the three-person world with Olive, the threshold of their sexual pleasure was raised. Now, the ordinary, ordinary two-person world is no longer enough to satisfy Elizabeth. That's why Elizabeth felt that she, or the husband and wife, could not live without Olive.
