Civil responsibility-do you want a society that allows legally sanctioned possibilities like Harems. There are ethical questions about a single individual obtaining control over many others, finaincialy, physicaly, emotionaly, and phsycologicaly.

My old mind is a little more open than this. I guess I draw the line on these issues in determining if the situation, whatever it might be, is consensual...or are they being held mentally or physically against their will??
Now if there were 3-4 women that would not mind cohabitating with me, and it was 100% consensual, why should this be against the law? If we find interest, love, loyalty and longevity in each other, without any duress, why not? Maybe there's no sex involved, maybe it's an orgy...an ugly orgy at my age, maybe some are just wanting close friends while others are nymphs--who cares as long as it's consensual??
Here's a way to understand what I am saying; Imagine one man and four women, due to a plane crash, are marooned on a deserted island. They did not know each other prior to the crash and they will not be discovered for many many years. I can imagine, or assume, that over time these five people will become family; enjoying all the things that come with family, including sex, chores, caring, etc. For years this situation works perfect--except of course for the normal squabbles all of us must endure! Now once this group of close and loving people are discovered, and brought back into our wonderful and non-judgemental society (barfing right now...) this entire perfect family would be torn apart...and I say this is not right.
BTW, if my sweetie was to see what I've written here there isn't going to be any orgies in this house...
