Is it true that Japanese men are polygamous?


Travel Info
A japanese guy is courting me. But my friends were telling me that Japanese are generally polygamous. Japanese culture, they say, allows concubines. They can have only one wife, but they can maintain other women and even have them stay in their house. Is this true?

Travel Tips
There was a Japanese prime minister who resigned simply because of the gossip that he had a mistress. I guess, this tells enough that Japanese society do not tolerate concubines. Japanese laws also do not allow bigamous marriages. This implies that Japanese culture is monogamous. How about Japanese men having concubines or other women? Well, culturally speaking, Japanese society is male-dominated and would want that. But still, women would not like it. That is why, Japan has divorce. So, it wont be possible for a legal wife and other women stay in the same house.

Not really the whole story. It is all on the DL. Yes it does happen, and they are a kinky lot. BUT, even a prime minister has resigned in the past 25 years for being found to have a mistress. It is all done very discreetly which means they don't live together, wives and mistresses.
not just japanese men are polygamous.Men of other races are also polygamous.
Some do. Most don't.
LOL that is ridiculous.
