About this Quote

This quote by Mason Cooley is a contrast in between promiscuity and monogamy. Promiscuity is likened to never ever checking out past the first page of a book, suggesting that it is a shallow and fleeting experience. Monogamy, on the other hand, is compared to reading the exact same book over and over, recommending that it is a deeper and more meaningful experience. This comparison implies that indiscrimination is a superficial and short-lived type of connection, while monogamy is a more significant and lasting form of connection. It recommends that while promiscuity might be exciting and thrilling in the moment, it does not use the very same level of satisfaction and satisfaction as a dedicated relationship.
