I read The Second Sex and A Transatlantic Love Affair. I unfortunately did not get to read her Letters to Sartre yet. How about this question with regard to sexuality.

"The fact is that physical love can be treated neither as an end in itself nor as a mere means to and end; it cannot serve as a justification of existence; but neither can it be justified extraneously. That is, it should play in human life an episodic and independent role. Which is to say that above all it must be free" (DeBeauvoir 447).

This antagonizes the concept of monogamy and says there isn't "the one."
