Remember when the Saducees were trying to trick Jesus with the question about the woman who had seven husbands in succession? Jesus said in part, you do err because you don't know the scriptures. God intended one man to mate with one woman. God didn't create a whole bunch of wives for Adam, just Eve.
Concubinage probably was a way to impress people with how many you could get. If you remember, Solomon had 300 wives and 700 concubines. If you think you are the greatest, you also sometimes think you have to prove it by getting the most of something to impress others. In this case, it was probably a status symbol among kings, who had the most. God did not intend this for man. The reason people stray from the truth in this way and in our day is because they are not satisfied with what God has intended for them.
As a minister I run across people who have to make up their religion because they don't like the way God did it with Jesus to be our Savior. They don't want to be limited to just one way to God as Jesus said he was, "I am the way, the truth and the life. Anyone who wants to come to the Father must come through me."
When people are dissatisfied, they harden their hearts to what God has said and have pride believing that they can improve on what God has done or said. You should be able to draw from both of these why both are sins now.
The reason both are a sin is because adultery is wanting and coveting someone who is not yours to claim. Having concubines is a sin because you are committing adultery on a grand scale and telling God that you are not satisfied with the one person rule of marriage.
Dissatisfaction is the root of both sins. Of course, people try to get around this by not calling it a sin but something else. But it still is.
If the Holy men of The Bible were allowed to do it, then I guess it's not a sin.

Concubinage was an acceptable practice in ancient Israel and in the Old Testament. It was not part of the Christian social structure. Therefore, modern day concubinage would be adultery in the modern Christianworld view. However, it is practiced under other belief systems. See related question link.

Can a person testify against himself in concubinage?
Concubinage is the relationship between persons who are cohabiting without the benefit of marriage. It is an archaic term. Concubineage was used in ancient Rome (and through the early middle ages) when a man co-habitated with a woman who did not have the social status required for marriage. In Rome, men didn't marry until they were in their late twenties at which time the concubine and her children would be abandoned when the man's marriage was arranged. There is no apparent connection between concubinage and a person testifying against himself. In the United States we are protected against self incrimination by the Fifth Amendment of the US Constitution.
Is concubinage is billable?
Concubinage typically refers to a relationship where a couple lives together in a long-term, committed partnership without being legally married. In legal terms, it is generally not considered a billable offense, as it often pertains to personal and private matters rather than criminal activity. However, in some jurisdictions, issues related to concubinage can arise in legal contexts such as inheritance, custody, or property disputes. Therefore, while concubinage itself may not be billable, related legal services could incur fees.
