RuPaul Charles doesn’t believe in monogamy when it comes to men, he explained in a new interview.

The 63-year-old Drag Race host is opening up about having an open marriage and why he practices non-monogamy.
“It’s just realistic,” he told The New Yorker. “There’s no such thing as monogamy with men.”
Despite having an open marriage, RuPaul said he doesn’t step outside of his relationship that often. He added, “I meet new people, but like, socially, do I go out to dinner with people, or meet someone and say, ‘Hey, let’s go on a hike’? Very rarely.”
RuPaul added that there’s no longer “a circle of people that I can sort of rely on” for intimacy.
RuPaul noted that his fame has prevented him from having the type of fun that he would in the past.
“You know, at a night club or at a disco dance place, people are on their phones,” he said. “How am I going to be spiritual and in the moment, sweating, and take my shirt off, where there are people filming?”
RuPaul and Georges, an Australian painter and artist got married in 2017 after 23 years together.
I actually agree with Ru. I don't believe human beings were made to stay with one person for the rest of their lives. In fact, I think that's the best part for me about being gay.
You can have that one person that you connect with on an emotional level, but as far as sex goes, I want to taste every flavor of ice cream invented.
On the other hand, to each is own, and whatever works for you is what's important.
