Here I would expect that we might be able to understand what

is ideal, what is next to it, and so on.

 

Thus, for a grihasta to stay satisfied with one wife only would

be ideal. So, in the contexts of the topic, if on the other side

the option for a dissatisfied married man is to leave the wife

and go in woman hunting, then, yes, let him better get into

polygamy and thus have his unfulfilled desire for sex still

under regulations of some accepted marriage institution. In other

words, let him "pay" for his additional sex pleasure in form

of having to fully take charge of those women in all respects,

taking the full responsibility to supply them with all they

would be in need (we grhastas ought to know how that works in

practice, not only in theory, ain't we?).

I don't think anybody here will prohibit you to do it. Please

go ahead. You have just given to us the explanation why polygamy

is to be looked on favorably. I understand and second that. And I

really appreciate you being straightforward and frank here, as well

as your previous word to shift away your focus from the underage

school girls (due to the age-difference and social-pressure factors).
