That's a possible route but for our tribe personally, all other forms of intimacy are discouraged among opposite-sex individuals to prevent accidental pregnancies and people refraining from breeding out of loyalty(or whatever) to their true partner.
The way I RP this for D'aito's tribe was that opposite sex intimacy was generally frowned upon and discouraged but same sex intimacy was not. Â In RP, D'aito Kuji keeps these kinds of things to herself and will only reluctantly speak about it. Â She understands that "outsiders" struggle to understand some of the practices of the Miqo'te. Â D'aito left her tribe precisely because she could not accept the new Nuhn who she knew gained his position illegitimately over her sire.
Of course, other players simply ignore the lore or establish different backgrounds for their characters and that's fine as far as I'm concerned. Â But I like the lore and the complications it places on my character. Â I play a non-human character for a reason.
I am uncertain how polyamory fits into the Seeker model. Â But I can see how if someone wanted to tinker with the harem model, it could work. Â I have ZERO issues with polyamory as I have an unconventional lifestyle myself and like my character am openly bisexual (which I've sometimes heard is an excuse to be a slut).
I'm very eager to see where this thread goes and I might retcon some of D'aito's backstory as I learn more.
