Polygyny is a form of Polygamy in which a man has more than one wife, girlfriend, or female sexual partner. It is the most common and accepted form of Polygamy. Polygyny is usually used in reference to humans but it is observed in all mammals and many other animals.
The main reasons for Polygyny are sexual pleasure, getting more children, and facilitating power.
Polygyny has been widely practiced and accepted in many cultures. It was very common and accepted in Viking society. Powerful Viking men used to have multiple wives, and often several concubines. Vikings would often capture beautiful women from lands that they raided. In fact, a desperate need to acquire women from conquered lands was the main reason for Viking exploration. Polygyny was common in Mongol society as well, and was heavily practiced by Genghis Khan. He had over a dozen wives, and many concubines. These women were a part of his harem.
Polygyny is very common in many animals such as Gorillas, Tigers, Lions, Elk, and Bison. Males compete against each other to be able to gain exclusive mating access to a group of females. Competition between males is often violent, and bloody (but worth it to get pussy).
Practizing Polygyny is currently legal and pracitzed in many African, and Middle Eastern countries such as Saudi Arabia, the UAE, and Libya.

Yellow Journalism Polygyny Trigger or YJPT=When lies, and Exaggerated truth’s have been spread about polygyny that will trigger a person to be upset, sad, angry, or depressed. They will say things to provoke you to be angry at someone for bringing up the topic of polygyny, they will belittle someone or verbally attack someone simply because the topic of polygyny is on the table. Yellow journalism is contagious and could spread to the next person in a matter of seconds if a person has a response in them that can be triggered. Many people who suffer from all forms of traumas could be a victim of yellow journalism polygyny triggers if they have not healed properly from their past traumas.
When the word Polygyny is mentioned the person could possibly go into a rage, or become overly emotional, loud and belligerent.
If you try to dialogue on the subject of polygyny, or attempt to disprove their false beliefs about polygyny or expose the truth on polygyny that it’s righteous and it’s not a sin according to the bible but only to their feelings and how they have been a victim of YJPT they will shut down, over talk you, be loud, or create lies and exaggerate about polygyny.
