Some people consider three cases of adultery serial. The truth is none of us know the principal purpose of polygamy. We weren't there.
However, how old was Fanny Alger, his first plural "wife", about whom he lied to Emma. She was 16! And she was "comely" which doesn't mean homely. In other words, he picks out the cute Laurel for his first plural wife. Of course, there is no sexual interest?

You confused the great seducers with predators. Your whole premise is backwards. The point is, it would have been very easy for JS to get lots of sex, and to introduce it as a religious practice has got to be the dumbest way to do it.
Casanova lived before JS; I doubt men had fewer sexual partners back then.
