In an interview with ABC’s Barbara Walters, which is set to air on Sunday (Mar. 7), comedienne/actress Monique says the secret to longevity in her marriage is to allow her husband, Sidney Hicks, to stray.

“Could Sid have sex outside of his marriage with me? Yes. That’s not a deal-breaker,” she told Walters. “That’s not something that would make us say, ‘Pack your things and let’s end the marriage.’ We’ve been best friends for over 25 years, and we truly know who we are. Oftentimes, people get into marriages and they don’t know who they’re laying next to. I’m very comfortable and secure with my husband.”

Unlike many females who get married with unrealistic fantasies of what married life is supposed to be, Mo’Nique knows that a man is going to do what he was put on earth to do; and that is to populate the earth. It’s in the Bible and it goes against nature to expect a man with a healthy sexual appetite to put out for only one female his entire adult life.

Humans are the only species on earth with unrealistic viewpoints on sex. Rather than follow the rules of nature (to be fruitful and multiply) humans follow our hearts and beliefs, which are sometimes inconsistent with nature.

Asking a man not to creep is like asking him not to eat, sleep or breathe. A study shows that men think about sex on average of every 7 minutes. It’s doubtful that he’s thinking about his wife every 7 minutes.

Some people believe that disgraced golfer Tiger Woods would not be under fire for having sex with 20 women outside of his marriage if he hadn’t gotten married in the first place.

Does that mean that it’s okay for a man to violate his marriage vows? Only if the wife agrees with it — as in Mo’Nique and Sidney’s case. If she doesn’t agree, then it’s best to dissolve the marriage and go their separate ways.

Of course, Mo’Nique has a few tricks to keep her hubby from straying, and that includes her infamously unshaven gams.

“He loves the hairy legs,” Mo says, “and if Sid likes the hairy legs, there you go.”

She even explains to Walters why she chooses to go au naturel: “I tried shaving one time, and it was so uncomfortable and painful. I said never again would I do that to myself.” Besides, says Mo’Nique, “I’m 42 and I’m very hairy.”
