   Not quite.  Bigamy and polygamy aren't questions of sex; they're 
questions of marriage.  As for incest and adultery... personally I don't 
see where the problem lies with incest, providing that no (genetically 
impaired) children are born of it, and I can't think of any civilized state 
where adultery is illegal.
