Today, many simply simply "juggle" arguments, mostly pseudo-scientific, on the topic of relations between men and women. You can often find discussions of monogamy or polygamy. With all this, there are very few people who can answer the question: "Polygamy - what is it?" Let's 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 their own practical experience) that even in the most outwardly decent families, one can quite find information about a dozen novels with betrayals, intrigues, and so on. Naturally, all this is hushed up and not brought “to the light of day.”
Polygamy - what is it from the pointvision of instincts? That men and women are both polygamous and monogamous at the same time in their natural animal sexuality. When one or another male realizes that this female is ideally suited to continue his race, he will certainly stop at her, without being distracted by some other females. This is where his monogamy comes into play. But if the same male understands that this female is simply not suitable for his needs and for procreation (or not fully suitable), he begins to look for other contenders. This is the answer to the question: "Polygamy - what is it?"
And what about the female? Polygamy - what is it in women? Do you think they are different? Absolutely not. Men are no more polygamous than the fairer sex. The instinctive, animal nature of a woman, which was given 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 ideally suited to her in a number of parameters, then she will focus all her attention on him. This is a manifestation of female monogamy. But if she feels (at the level of instincts) that the male does not even partially suit her, then the woman will immediately begin to pay attention to other men. And here we see exactly the same polygamy as in males.
Therefore, the answer to the question: "Polygamy - what is it?" - as simple as possible. It is as much a natural part of the sexual life, psychology and instincts of any person asmonogamy. But why is it not obvious to the layman? Instinct has great power over a person, but ignorance proportionate to it does not allow this power to be understood. From the foregoing, one can draw an obvious conclusion that the stories that the polygamy of men goes beyond all limits and boundaries are greatly exaggerated and are 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 the stronger sex, then everything revolves around the instincts of procreation. And this greatly facilitates the task of mutual understanding of the sexes.
