I wonder if it would be possible to have a rational discussion of polygamy without slippery-sloping our way to bestiality and marrying robots?

I know the Old Testament seems to look the other way at Solomon’s nearly 700 wives and concubines. Not to mention Jacob’s two wives, Rachel and Leah.

But polygamy is a choice. Sexual orientation isn’t. Does the APA recognize polygamy?

And bestiality is animal abuse. By definition, animals cannot consent to a contract. Robots would be rather uncomfortable on the wedding night.
