But i only reason plygamy is frowned down upon by society in general is for religious reasons (thats why i posted in this forum) i feel that if it wasnt for religions telling us that we need to stick to one partner we probably wouldnt... we may have one main 'steady' partner but ten have others for pure physical or for lesser emotional reasons
