How completely untrue. As much as you love to boast that we are nothing more than beasts of the field, the fact remains that humans are set apart. For one thing, we can argue about this point thousands of miles away from one another, having never met, using a series of wires, metal, and plastic assembled as computers, connected via the internet. That in itself is evidence that we are driven by far more than biological reactions. We are outrageously smart, no animal approaching our intellect. We have a consciousness, we are self aware, ect ect.
Secondly, more than 50% of American marriages fail and end in divorce. Divorce isn't stimulating to the sex drive. Less children are produced, lawyers (predators) thrive. That's with one wife and one husband.
Perhaps you don't have a wife, but women and men are driven with far more complex drives than can be explained. Polygamy complicates these things far more than a monogamous relationship could be. Perhaps wife #2 doesn't
want to be impregnated, becuase of the favoritism being received by wife #1. Thus, she is both: NOT being impregnated by someone else, on account of her belonging to her husband, and NOT becoming pregnant by him, either.
Many, many more problems follow with polygamy. Read "Escape" by Carolyn Jessop. She escaped a Fundamentalist LDS polygamist family in which she was being abused daily, which is a common trend in polygamist families. Polygamist relationships do not work. We are not animals. God does not condone them, even if they were
permitted in the Old Testament.
