As long as Mohd's rich wife Khadija was alive, he was monogamous
After she died, he remarried a middle aged to old woman to take care of his household
Then per Ali Sina, Mohd developed Acromegaly, of which a side effect seems to be of
excessive sex drive
Polygamy seems to have been absent in Pagan Arabia
So Mohammed started getting revelations from Allah on allowing him to take more wives
Mohd probably initially thought that 4 wives were more than enough
so Allah allowed 4 wives
Then as more kafir women fell into Mohammeds hands
( right hand possession rule ), Allah relaxed the limit just for Mohammed
Allah also banned adoption for muslims so that Mohd could marry his adopted son's wife Zainab
Ali Sina writes that Mohd had 66 wives and concubines
He had sex with his wives female household slaves such as the coptic slave Maria
When Maria became pregnant, Mohd married her
Of this 66 wives and concubines, 2 or 3 wives were middle aged women married for political reasons, the rest were for sex
