Now, a question of etiquette - as I pass, do I give you the ass or the crotch?

Bob had four sets of biatch tits.

Hmmm, maybe, but not the Mormon/Mooslim kind.

And then only in the legal and binding sense, also

must have huge tracts of land.

The problems inherent with polygamy are:

1. Either all the women in your house are on the rag at the same time.

2. They spread it out where one of them is on the rag each week so the biatching never farking ends.

3. Multiple wives come with multiple Mothers-in-law.

Either way you slice it, it's a suckers bet with you on the losing end. With all the pamprin, midol, naproxyn, and chocolate you'd have to buy each month you would go bankrupt in no time.

No, the real problem with polygamy is that it doesn't go both ways. The women aren't allowed to have multiple husbands, which means it's just more oppressive sexist religious bullcrap.

No, the real problem with polygamy is there's not enough wives to go around. Way too many young men won't be able to get married and they will destabilize society. That's why Mormon compounds kick out extraneous young men. But that only works for the Mormons because the compounds are small enough that American society as a whole can absorb the extra young men. When polygamy is widespread throughout a society, the only tried and true way to get rid of the extra young men is to send them off to war.

There is no way in hell i would ever agree to a polygamnous marriage. I love my husband and I refuse to share with anyone. I don't even understand how these women do this, it makes no sense to me. I can see the mans point of view, more women = less chance of boredom in bed, more women to cook and do chores, and other things along those lines. But what women would want to share her man much less her husband with someone let alone several someones.

I've always found this pretty fascinating because other than homosexuality, it's pretty much the only social-sexual construct in which men act counter to evolutionary pressures.

Evolution. Generally men desire to stick their sperm in every woman available and to keep other men from doing the same. It may be amusing to note that the shape of the glans of a penis seems to be designed to act as a "sperm plunger", depositing your semen into a woman, but pumping existing semen inside her out.

Animatronik: Some people think polyamory is a viable alternative to 1-on-1. I think it's wishful thinking. Most couples would get along better if they spent more time apart; how wouuld they handle the needs of more than one partner?

I don't think it's any more a viable alternative to monogamy than homosexuality is a viable alternative for a heterosexual (and vice-versa). I guess in theory it works fine so long as none of the males in the group attempt to assert any dominance, which would probably cause the social structure to break down (at the very minimum I suppose a peel, but I tend to think an entire breakdown is more probable).

It's all very interesting stuff. Polygamy on the other hand is very easy to explain, it's a natural extension of male power projection combined with evolutionary drive. Works ok in an uncivilized society where there is a shortage of men due to war or hunting, but otherwise... whoa boy, the shiat has to hit the fan sooner or later.

I'm certain I'm capable of loving (not just farking) multiple women. Financially, it would be more comfortable - any one person in the marriage can lose their job without too much strain on the finances. Socially, it's more stable - if you have children, a parent can die and there are still at least two parents left to raise the kid.

The problems come in when the women start feeling competitive - wife A thinks wife B is getting too much attention at her expense. Also, people are different... one of the wives WILL end up being the dominant wife, and if she's not confident in her position, she's going to lord it over the others just to appear confident.

Even getting to that stage is a problem when you can't find women willing to share a man.

Personally, I wouldn't be happy in the arrangement unless the women were just as involved with each other as with me. I assume finding two bisexual women who are just as compatible with each other as with me is pretty much impossible.

Therefore, I'll continue to merely DREAM of polygamy and continue to keep silent on the issue around my wife.

From the article I linked to:

"When men imagine what living in a polygynous society might be like, they imagine themselves married to several wives. What they don't realize, however, is that, more than likely, they would be left without any wife in a polygynous society. Polygynous marriage in a polygynous society is always limited to a minority of men. If 50% of men have two wives each, then the other 50% cannot have any wives. If 25% of men have four wives each, then the other 75% cannot have any wives. When women imagine what living in a polygynous society might be like, they imagine themselves having to share their current, no-good loser of a husband with other women. What they don't realize is that they could be sharing Matt Damon or Bill Gates with other women."

Sharing a rich husband might leave you better off than having a poor one all to yourself. Sounds cynical, but in a country without a lot of economic equality or social safety nets, it might make the difference between starving in a tin shack, and being well-fed in a proper house.

Those reformed prostitutes the article talks about probably didn't get into that biz because they came from affluent families.

I have a wonderful husband and although we are not the best off we live comfortably. I would not trade him for a rich man let alone a rich man I would have to share with other women. I come from a very poor background so not having much really doesnt bother me I guess, so for those women who really just care about material things and money yeah this might work for them. I however do not care about these things and would prefer to have my man to myself.

To be fair, in a prehistoric polygamous society, these women would be sharing "Thog, the hairiest, most brutal son of a biatch around". In a modern society they'd be sharing some middle aged or older man who had managed to accumulate a lot of wealth. And even then "sharing" is a bit of a misnomer, as they'd have very little choice in the matter because part and parcel of polygamy is the fact that women are generally treated like chattel.

This is a completely normal stance from an evolutionary standpoint. There is very little reason for a woman to enter a polygamous relationship aside from a few rare occurances, because generally speaking it's a very bad deal for them. "Sharing" a husband means less investment in your offspring from the husband, which introduces a level of uncertainty about if he will be willing to provide for the offspring. From an evolutionary stand point - this is a very bad spot to be in.

Monogamy has been very good in general for women, because even if historically they have chosen to mate with men other than their "partner", it's been very hard for anyone to prove who exactly sired the children. Due to this a woman could say, marry a powerful man or a good provider, then sleep around behind his back with a genetically attractive man to make offspring.

You could almost say that women are "programmed" to want to be monogamous because this is the type of social construct that actually gives them the most power in the relationship.

If they want to ban prostitution, they should also ban marriage as well. A "wife" is just another word for "High class prostitute". In such an arrangement, the man has to spend all his money on this woman FOR LIFE, and she doesn't even have to have sex with him.

Well, everyone is different - obviously if this wasn't the case then we wouldn't have much difference these days in how people approach things since it would have been weeded out of us thousands of years ago, but without these very simple drives chances are there wouldn't be any of us around, or in a mind bending twist, there would be humans around... but they'd act in ways different than we do.

Alot of this is very much "chicken or the egg" type of stuff. Did society come around because humans were naturally inclined to be social? Or did humans become inclined to be social because those that did lived and those that weren't died? We'll probably never really know for sure so it's not worth worrying about.

If I was a prostitute that would mean my husband pays for everything and I make no money. I happen to bring in the same amount of money my husband does. And also on that point a prostitute sleeps with many men for money, usually not just one. So where is the logic in your statement?

Well, lots of guys are in the position of wanting regular sex without having to chase around bars... and the best way to get that is to fork our large amounts of money on a ring and a wedding, followed by a house that meets the woman's standards. The fact that she has an equivalent or superior income doesn't change the fact that the guy is paying her for a lifetime of sex.

Depends on their viewpoint. If the choices are to live in a lower class slum with one man that they see every day, or to live in a higher class neighborhood with a man they see once per week, then it's not hard to see many women choosing the latter and feeling that they're better off.

You have the view point of a sexist pig. Most men do not get married for a lifetime of sex, they get married because a) they love the person they are with b) to do right for an unexpected child there are a few other reasons including being able to stay in america if your and immigrant. and I paid for half of our wedding rings and half of the wedding, i pay half of the bills so how the hell is he forking out large sums of money to have sex? There is no logic in this statement whatsoever.

Well shiat... if everything works out so chummy for you, was there any point in getting married, or having a relationship at all? Would it have changed anything? Why can't two people who are good friends just decide to share things one day? Or bring a child into the world because they both think it's a good idea?

My beef with marriage is because it was originally created so that men could "buy" a wife (which still happens in certain places in the world - just maybe not ones you've ever been to). The purpose of the purchasing arrangement, and that of a virgin, was to ensure that the children he planned on having were his -- because men sure as hell don't trust women to not sleep around... so in effect, buying the woman and labelling her as such (e.g. "my wife") was a social contract where the woman's life was indebted to her husband's. Of course, God is invited along to the weddign ceremony to scare the crap out of the bride and grrom to make sure that the men kept paying, and the woman doesn't go "breaking her vows".
The honeymoon after the wedding is so named because it's during this month that the wife can get pregnant without interference from other men - ensuring that the child is in fact the father's.

... but in this modern day society, women are not treated as chattel and human property (thank goodness)... so marriage is essentially defunct. If your husband doesn't trust you and has to marry you to prove that you won't sleep around.... where is the love? Is your marriage really as secure as you think it is?

Can I borrow your time machine? I wanna go back and shoot Hitler in the balls.

You want to know why we got married. Well one because we love each other and two we didnt want to be seperated. To explain said seperation both myself and my husband are in the military. It was either we get married or he goes to japan for 3 years and I don't get to see him. I was with my husband for 2years before we decided to get married, and yes I am very secure in my marriage and in the fact that my husband loves me. My husband didn't marry me to ensure that I wouldn't sleep around or vice versa. You are just trying to form some logic out of this statement which frankly is one of the most retarded things I have ever heard, and there are several men here who disagree with your idiotic point of view.

Have you ever been married? Have you been hurt to many times? Did your last girlfriend sleep around on you? Have you ever even had a girlfriend? what sob story do you have to explain your idiocy and aversion to marriage?

My husband pays for everything for me and I am not a prostitute. I had a great job before getting married and moving to an economy where the only job options are "work at walmart" and my husband and I don't need money enough for him to want me to do that. Plus I spend my time painting the house, gardening and generally being a home maker. That isn't prostitution that is a balanced relationship. You don't have to make money to be carrying your weight in a relationship.

I feel really sad for you that you have only had experience with girls you have to bribe into having sex with you. In a good marriage a wife loves her husbands and enjoys making love with him. It sounds to me like you just can't get any down there in your moms basement and you get your relationship knowledge from bad movies and other basement dwellers.

Thank you Ace and I apologise if that came out the wrong way, I was in no way implying that if you don't work or bring in money your marraige makes you a prostitute. I just couldnt think of a better way to explain it. Although I will say you did a great job of doing so.
