Monogamy isn't optimal when the purpose of mating is reproduction. But I always felt like there should be some other purpose than that. An immortal being would have no reason to reproduce, right? The biggest reason why biological organisms reproduce is because they need to in order to keep existing. That's irrelevant to immortals. And even if an immortal did have children he'd have to put some of himself into the child, which would make him lesser, maybe even making him mortal as his essence moves to the next generation. People were talking about "splitting" somewhere here? Like that. I think that's part of the reason why mortal beings die in the first place.
