Man “Wedding” Four & Lawfully More?

Question: Man “Wedding” Four & Lawfully More?
Know may Allah’s Mercy be upon you that before answering this Question, it is important to remind of the following fundamental matters:
1-Allah is All Knowledgeable, 2-All-Just, 3-All-Wise, 4-Most Merciful, 5-Free of all imperfection, and
6-Creation is His and His is the Commandment.
Allah, the One free of all imperfection, the Most High, Says:
“And if you fear that you shall not be able to deal justly with the orphan-girls then marry (other) women of your choice, two or three, or four; but if you fear you shall not be able to deal justly (with them), then only one or (the slaves) that your right hands possess. That is nearer to prevent you form doing injustice.” [Qur’aan 4: 3; also refer to ch. 4, verses 25-26.]
So, Allah limited the number of wives to four, and made lawful those that our right hands may possess without limit. And this is from His Favor and perfect Legislation and it agrees with His Wisdom and Mercy. Since there are those from mankind who are overcome by powerful sexual lust such that it may not be repelled by one wife, so He gave man permissibility to four and extra from the possessed slaves. All made lawful to him. Man’s intensity of sexual drive is overall stronger than that of women. Man is able to have sexual intercourse with more than one wife in a very short period. The Prophet (S) used to have intercourse with his wives in the same night. Know also that once intercourse is finished, the woman’s desire for more is subsided. Thus the Wisdom of Pre-decree (ordinances in due proportion), legislation, creation, and commandment all coincide (in agreement). The overall nature of women is coolness (towards sex) and that of man is passion. Allah says:
“And man was created weak (cannot be patient to leave sexual intercourse with woman).”[Qur’an 4:28].
