Nowadays, very many simply "juggle" arguments, mostly pseudoscientific, on the topic of relations between men and women. Often you can find discussions of monogamy or polygamy. With all this, there are very few people who can answer the question: "Polygamy - what is it?" Let us try to shed light on this side of human sexual nature.
Polygamy - what is it? In fact, it is impossible to consider this term in isolation from its antipode - monogamy. Mother nature is plastic to infinity. This ensures its survival in man-made artificial conditions. Psychologists prove (and it is quite possible to verify this from our own practical experience) that even in the most outwardly decent families you can completely find information about a dozen novels with infidelity, intrigue, and so on. Naturally, all this is hushed up and is not brought “into the light of day”.
Polygamy - what is it from the point of view of instincts? That men, that women are both polygamous and monogamous at the same time in their animal natural sexuality. When this or that male understands that this female is ideally suited to continue his family, he will certainly stop at her, not being distracted by any other females there. Here only its monogamous nature manifests itself. But if the same male understands that this female is simply not suitable for his needs and for procreation (or not completely suitable), he begins to look for other pretenders. This is the answer to the question: "Polygamy - what is it?"
And what about the female? Polygamy - what is it for women? Do you think they are all different? Absolutely not. Men are no more polygamous than the fairer sex. The instinctive, animal origin of the woman, which was presented to her by Mother Nature, is in the same way both polygamous and monogamous at the same time.
If a female meets a male inseminator that is ideally suited for her in a whole series of parameters, then she will concentrate all her attention on him. This is the manifestation of female monogamy. But if she feels (at the level of instincts) that the male is not even partially suitable for her, then the woman will immediately begin to pay attention to other men. And here we see exactly the same polygamy as males.
Therefore, the answer to the question: "Polygamy - what is it?" - as simple as possible. This is the same natural part of the sexual life, psychology and instincts of any person, as well as monogamy. But why is this not obvious to the layman? Instinct has tremendous power over man, but proportional ignorance does not allow this power to be understood. From the foregoing, one can make the obvious conclusion that the stories that the polygamy of men goes beyond all boundaries and boundaries are greatly exaggerated and written by women who do not notice their shortcomings or simply manifestations of their own natural polygamy. If we isolate “romance” from the relationship between the weaker and stronger sexes, then everything revolves around the instincts of procreation. And this greatly facilitates the task of understanding the sexes.
