You didn't answer the question. You answered the question "why can't you make a contract for monogamy?" and my question was "why does the inability to make a contract for monogamy matter?" Nobody, for all practical purposes, makes a contract to be vegetarian, so whether or not you can make a contract is irrelevant to comparing the two.

Like I said in the parent, vegetarianism doesn't require a contract, monogamy does.

But why does that matter?
