Addictive substances are not just a matter of judgment. Addiction robs judgment. The libertarian argument is weak when it comes to destructive addictive substances because people are weak when it comes to destructive addictive substances.
Men like to have lots of women. Monogamy remains the law.
Two things:
1) It is not the proper role of government to provide will power for people, or good judgment when it comes to personal behavior. You should know that. Any government which can dictate personal behavior can do anything. Anything.
2) It is not illegal for men to have many women. It is only illegal to marry all of them, formally. Imagine what people would say if the government decided that, because men are weak when it comes to their addiction to women, they must outlaw any male contact with women if that male is already in a relationship. 10 years for drunk-calling Susie while you're dating Brenda!

Why should the government be entitled to decide how many women a man can marry?
