I know that, historically, it has been men that were allowed multiple wives. Mormons used to do it. Islam allows it and a few well off dudes in muslim countries do it still.
Now the only example of polyandry I know is inthe Himalayas, and it was generally 2 brothers sharing a wife I believe, so the kids would be either sons or close nephews, you see? That's when it hit me! The exact parentage of the child didn't matter because you can love your son and nephew the same, it's cool! That's partly why the marriage worked!
Now that we have genetic testing and men can determine the biological father of each child with 100% certainty, there is no need for both fathers to be siblings to have the same level of knowledge. So would it now work? I know a few women who wouldn't say no to 2 men if society accepted it.
And men would all probably get laid more, because there would be a shortage of them. Win/win.
EDIT: someone was asking about the actual benefits of reducing male horniness levels. Here is an example:
SEXUAL FRUSTRATION
Dr. Tawfik Hamid writes in his books The Roots of Jihad and Inside Jihad [...] how he and his friends were convinced to join the terrorist movement. Extreme sexual frustration makes young Islamic men easy prey. They are expected to have zero sexual release until marriage, and marriage in these economic times can be delayed until as late as a man's 40's. Recruiters lure potential suicide bombers with assurances that blowing themselves up will give them perpetual access in the afterlife to 72 beautiful virgins.
