Will this one-by-one system forever be our main thing or do you think we will break monogamy and maybe "team up" as groups or something?

And yeah polygamy is a thing but do you think it will catch on to "the upper class"?

    @June I'm sorry? but isn't:

    polyandry = multiple male partners
    polygyny = multiple female partners
    polygamy = multiple whatever partners?

    Just so that we're on the same page?

    (source: quick google search to verify that I'm not crazy)

      Oh hey, I learned something, thank you. Not sure where I got my definitions from but I’d have sworn i had it right, but polygamy is just the practice of having multiple spouses, you’re right.

      I’d done a fair bit of research on it a while ago and either had bad info or bad memory. Thanks for the correction! I’ll go make edits and let that other person know I got the terminology wrong.
