Testosterone

And what about women that want multiple partners? Are we ignoring them?

Of course! The very stitching of the universe will come unraveled if women express themselves sexually! 

[polymath257]

Maybe the universe needs to be unstitched a bit.

For someone that just realized that women can orgasm, this guy seems to think he knows a lot about sexuality.

A personal anecdote. Circa 1980's. My first wife and I were traveling in our converted school bus, hippy styly! We were camped in the Bay Area. Our camp neighbors were a patriarchal man with a long grey beard and two women. Their license plate was from Utah!  One white woman and one Lakota woman. (My ex was half Black / Muskogee.) One day we had the "patriarch" over for lunch. He told us the two women were his wives. The next morning the Lakota woman was over for coffee. My ex and her were talking about Indian identity and mixed race identity. Very interesting conversation. Then my wife asked her what it was like to be married to a man with two wives. The conversation wad short and to the point:

"Did he tell you he has two wives?"

"Yes!"

"Son of a bitch! He is my husband and she is MY wife!"

She stormed out of our bus and could hear her reading him the riot act for hours. He was quite sheepish after that. Sexual liberation is so fascinating! What a beautiful world this could be!

1) Picking out actual scientific discoveries then looking at a religion you believe in to try and scramble together some common ground is always a bad idea. You can do it with anything, you can say the Simpsons predicts the future. 

2) The claim is that people in polyamorous have more testosterone than people who aren't in those relationships.  The difference might be insignificant, the difference might be detrimental to the people with more testosterone.  
Having too much or too little testosterone will be negative.  Someone making a claim just as stupid as yours could say polyamorous relationships are bad because they cause increased testosterone, and providing a list of that happens when you have too much testosterone.  

3)  It's more likely that the higher testosterone has caused a higher sex drive, more aggressive, riskier behavior resulting in a sex life with multiple partners, rather than a sex life with multiple partners causing a person to have higher testosterone.

Testosterone has certainly contributed to most of the rapes and wars in history!

Still; science literally said:

1-Multiple partners make testosterone be produced more in men; protecting them from modern-age defects like hair loss, increased fat levels and weak bone mass.

2-Islam allowed males to marry multiple partners in the case of fearing not to be just to orphans
 
3-Modern culture and European culture -influenced by the orders of the Church- contributed strongly in the destruction of men via taking off their natural rights, and mess up their testosterone producing levels.

Nobody has the right to damage people like this, through the manipulation of culture and the forcing of wrong culture on people.

The page you have shown says higher levels of testosterone are found in men with multiple partners than those that don't have multiple partners.  Not that the multiple partners are the cause of that additional testosterone. 

You have taken something from it that's fairly illogical from what I can tell.

Your logic seems to be like someone saying if you play pro basketball it will make you be better at being tall.

I said previously, it seems to me that you'd find higher testosterone in people who have multiple partners because people with higher testosterone have a higher sex drive, increased chance of risky behavior and aggression.  It seems logical that would result in more sexual partners.

Ah, testosterone. The hormone typically present in higher levels in males and is the base of machismo, aggression and dominance.

And yet we women get called "hormonal".
