Rejecting Polygyny was an early stage of the infiltration of the Church with feminism
From a eugenics perspective, polygyny by a high-capability male is a good way to work those traits into the general population.
If you have one dude who is IQ 140, good natural eyesight, no teeth decay, vertically aligned facial features, high muscles, no cancer in his family history, etc. you should hook him up with as many 125+ IQ women of good health and character as possible.
IMHO this was done in ancient times by women who "shared" semen on fingertips.
Morality is a human fiction designed to make losers feel better. I am interested only in function, which is why I inserted the preamble.
I would suggest that people also look at psychological impacts here. Sperm sharing is less traumatic than partner swapping IMHO.
@amerika @eastreed @shortstories Morality is originally principles that keep society alive but are unintuitive.
If men can have multiple wives, you get Africa:
Get multiple wives > not enough women for everyone > nearby men go to war to take your wives > the survivor lives in abject poverty since maintaining society requires larges amounts of work and the survivor is too busy maintaining multiple wives > have kids that will kill each other to repeat the cycle

That is not what happened on sister wives TV show

You can have more women born then men through sperm centrifuge
@shortstories @amerika @eastreed 1 The scale is way too small. A few men with multiple wives within a society of hundreds of millons that are still monogamous is not the same as a whole society being polygamous, it is like saying that communism totally works just because a father giving stuff for free to his wive and children haven't caused them starve to death
2 If that is true, yeah, that would work, polygyny works if there very few men and lots women
Men can not afford multiple wives unless they have a lot of wealth
It takes a lot of time to get a lot of wealth
This creates a age gap
The number of women 18 or older is smaller than the number of men 18 years + number of years to acquire wealth and older
If you believe in probability then
Additionally with modern technology you can change the probability that a child of one gender or another is born by centrifuging the sperm
& lazy men should not reproduce
@shortstories @amerika @eastreed
And that's precisely why family, church and laws encourages men and women to marry as early as possible or sometines even arranging marriages since childhood, it was to prevent that age gap and to prevent the young men to be left without young, fertile women.
If laziness was 100% genetic, blacks would be the hardest working people ever due to the extreme conditions in africa and polygyny, what you see in the US however...
