Of course I know one of the reasons for marriage is to provide a halal way to satisfy sexual desire, but what is your evidence for that being a sufficient reason for him to take a second wife (just to satisfy sexual desire for more than one woman)?

I believe you need evidence for proving something is impermissible, not if it is permissible. To my knowledge, if a man fulfills the basic criteria for taking more than one wife (having the means to support them and being just with all of them), nothing in the Qur'an and the Sunnah discourages him from doing so, even if it is only for the purpose of fulfilling his sexual desires. After all, if that can be an acceptable reason for marrying one wife, why can't it be the same for two, three or four wives, especially when Allah

has made it lawful for us?
