Polygamous. Monogamy is a social structure created by society for some reason. For instance, I was raised with the notion of man and wife and nothing else, yet I see people attempting polygamous or 'non-standard' relationships that defy what I was taught. They likely were taught the man and wife dynamic I was, yet they defy it out of love or lust.
Now, in the aspect of love, that is a person being attracted to multiple people all at once and sharing with them themselves.
In the aspect of lust, that's a person having sex with other people in desire for the act itself.
Now, these people tend to be shunned because everyone around them has been raised with the man and woman dynamic, and often they fail because their chosen mates were raised with the same dynamic.
In the case of non-standard relationships, such as homosexual relationships, it is shunned due to it defying the man and wife dynamic, in spite of most of them following a monogamous dynamic (due to monogamy being the societal norm), simply because they do not follow the man and wife dynamic.
