In this brief YouTube segment, the speaker introduces the term “monogamish,” a self‑coined label for a relationship style that primarily follows monogamy but allows occasional sexual experiences outside the primary partnership. She contrasts it with strict monogamy—defined as exclusive sexual involvement with one person—explaining that maintaining pure monogamy over decades is increasingly difficult and requires extraordinary creativity. The speaker argues that a monogamish approach reduces the pressure of lifelong exclusivity while still keeping the core partnership intact, and she personally prefers this flexible model.

Are you monogamous or monogamish? Monogamous is, of course, when you only want to sleep with one person. A monogamish, a word that perhaps I've invented, is when you mainly want to sleep with one person, but every once in a while you might want to just like have a bit of fun with somebody else. Could be that you want to have your partner in the room, could be that you just want to have a little fling for the night. Pretty much No big challenge to your monogamous relationship or monogamish relationship. I think monogamy is really hard to maintain over a long period of time. You know, back in the day when people were only married for a nanosecond, it was much easier. But nowadays when we can have relationships for decades, it becomes very difficult unless you're incredibly, incredibly creative. But otherwise, for me, I just prefer to be monogamish.
