    Just a comment, you’ve said “Polygamous” where the correct word is “Polyamorous”. They are not the same. Polygamy is marriage of multiple partners, often in “sister-wives” situations and often related to patrocentric power expectations in certain smaller religious instituions and cults. Polyamory is a romantic orientation allowing for multiple romantic or sexual partners. While the type of polycule a polyamorous person engages in will vary from person to person, the harem of wives thing doesn’t really happen in polyamorous circles.

      You are completely correct, I think I made a spelling error and autocorrect changed it to this without me realizing. I’m polyamorous myself :)
