Just a comment, you've said "Polygamous" where the correct word is "Polyamorous". They are not the same. Polygamy is marriage of multiple partners, often in "sister-wives" situations and often related to patrocentric power expectations in certain smaller religious instituions and cults. Polyamory is a romantic orientation allowing for multiple romantic or sexual partners. While the type of polycule a polyamorous person engages in will vary from person to person, the harem of wives thing doesn't really happen in polyamorous circles.
Polygamy, polygyny, and polyamory are all separate things, basically
You are completely correct, I think I made a spelling error and autocorrect changed it to this without me realizing. I'm polyamorous myself :)
