Then again, sometimes Jews take it a bit far. See King David and his 700 wives! :>

That was Solomon. David had under a dozen I think.

(I'm not a theologian, and don't even play one on TV!)
But...I think it was Solomon who tried to find fulfillment with so many wives/consorts.
I'll be darned because I can't seem to find it via the Bible Gateway search,
but IIRC, G-d told the Jews something like "the king should not have many wives"...
and we saw what a mess an accomplished warrior and king like David made of his
life and household with his wandering eye. The "You are the man" passage in which
Nathan convicted David of his guilt at his fling with Bathsheeba (sp?) and his
effective murder of Bathsheeba's virtuous husband Uriah is just about as good a
moral story about playing it safe when it comes to s-e-x.
And as best I recall, Solomon felt pretty empty at the end of his attempt to
win the Viagra-free "rising to the occasion" award of all time!
