nah poligamy were just the norm
Polyamory is the word you’re looking for polygamy assumes marriage
However “-amory” implies romantic relationships. We’re talking sexual interactions, not love.
When discussing animal social behaviours, “polygamy” is used.

oh, i didn’t knew that thanks
If you meant a man had several female partners, you had the right word. Polyamory doesn’t care whether the person in charge is male or female. Polygamy means a man had many women
