    Default I really like the idea of polygamous AND polyandrous marriages

    obviously not the shit we're seeing in utah right now with all the girls taken away,

    but a kinder, gentler, sexier polygamous marriage.

    one where cabana boys and nymphettes of legal age can frolick freely amongst older men and women who sex it all up amongst each other.

    honestly, I think group parenting is good (once again, not this I'm going to beat you unless you marry that 60 year old.) More like the communes except perhaps with a little discipline and learning how to make socially with the majority of society.

    think of how many dogs I can have with multiple hubbies to walk them!

    I'm guessing 99% of us here think it should be legal or don't see any problems with it between consenting adults. Live and let live.

    I think it should be perfectly legal. I love the idea of polygamy. A wife and a husband or two... yeah.. Bills would be easier, always have a backup income if the main income goes down...

    How did you get the idea for this thread?

    I think it should be legal, but with some sort of notification system, to keep some fucktard from marrying one woman after another without telling anyone.

    Men are like small children or pets, they need firm boundaries or they will get themselves into trouble.

    Yeah, I think it should be leagal but with boundaries. Like, theres no point in one guy having 5 wives with 3 kids each if he can't afford to put a good contribution towards supporting them all. On the other hand, I guess each of those wives could have another 5 husbands that would help support them. It could get very complicated me thinks.

    I don't think it should be legal personally. I do agree with the live and let live idea but I think there's too much risk of abuse. Plus lets face it it's not gonna be a woman with 5 husbands it's gonna be a man with lots of wives and that's just the reality of our culture. Women who live in Western countries but are from different backgrounds where men can have many wives are just going to become trapped into that.

    Polygamy does NOT involve multiple husbands. That's polyandry. Polygamy involves one man with multiple wives, none of whom are married to other men - just him and their sister-wives. What you're describing is more like the "free love" communes in the sixties (and they didn't work out all that well).

    I'm a big fan of polygamy and I hope that someday K and I can add a second wife to our family, maybe a third. I want sexy benefits with my sister-wives though!

    When left to their own devices, humans tend to gravitate towards polygamous relationship - one guy with as many women as he can afford. Like lions. It's our natural social structure.

    The legality won't prevent the abuse. If people from outside cultures are going to engage in polygamy, they will do it anyways. To them it's not the legal paper that matters but the binding from God.

    I think what you are looking for is polyamory. The basic idea is that one or both people in the couple can have multiple partners, but everyone involved knows about everyone else involved, and is OK with them. (So it's really more a family than a couple.) This doesn't necessarily mean everyone is sleeping with everyone else; that is negotiable among the members of the group. But what it means is that it is not cheating; everyone knows who is in the group, and no one was coerced into accepting them.

    My partner/gf/Mistress gives a presentation from time to time on polyamory. In doing research for it, she discovered that there have been a lot of cultures where polyandry is the norm. For example, in some areas where the men tend to die early, either because of wars or the dangers of hunting for food, or whatever, a woman marries a man and all his brothers. The idea is that it guarantees that a child will have a father, even if one who sired him is killed. And since all the men are sleeping with the woman, and they all have the same genetic makeup, they all treat the children as their own.

    There is some interesting information about polyamory here: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyamory

    Be well...

    Polyamory sounds like a great idea in theory, and I generally think that whatever consenting adults choose to do amongst each other is fine and shouldn't be overly regulated.

    The problem is that jealousy is a very natural human instinct, and the likelyhood of problems increases the more people you add to the relationship. You can learn to manage jealousy, and it's certainly easier if you're secure in yourself and your partner, but that doesn't mean it may ever go away completely.

    But if people can handle it maturely and avoid jealousy issues from flaring, I say go for it.

    I'm all for it being legal. As long as it is consenting adults. I dont know why this country is SOOO interested in butting into what consenting adults do in their private lives. It isnt hurting anyone.

    And abuse happens ALL the time in one-on-one marriages...doesnt stop that from being legal(the marriages not the abuse)

    I dont think I'd be happy with equal partnerships between all..I would have to be HEAD wife(no pun intended). But on nights when I'm tired or sick or when I"m out of town..I'd be ecstatic to have sister wives at home taking care of the house and hubby!

    But like Yek..I'd want all of us to have sex privileges with each other! And the right to have boyfriends outside(though I wouldnt want to be married to more then one guy...one man is enough work!LOL!)or bring other cpls in for short periods!I want to live in a sexy commune.

    We have an open marriage as it is and we have no jealousy issues. But it would be lovely to have live in's!

    Hey Yek...maybe we can work something out between the four of us if we ever live near each other!! I have to admit...I liked being the third with you guys!! Wasnt sure if I'd feel like an outsider or something...but you two are F-U-N fun!!!
    Probably helps that I just love you both to pieces!

    Yek..I was serious BTW...if I ever become rich I'm totally building a commune for all my friends to live in together!! A tiny town for both swingers and my few vanilla friends(who may not participate but are totally accepting of the lifestyle)

    Good point. Why don't we outlaw marriage. I'm sure that will put an end to domestic violence.

    That's brilliant. Guys that marry into my family all tend to die young (not going to speculate why, but it happens naturally! No black widows here.). So I could have a few spares. Not sure how I feel about brothers though.

    This is interesting. I've read that women benefit from polygyny. This is because women can share a wealthy, desireable man. Men benefit from monogamy because it gauarantees that they will be able to find a wife - the women aren't all being monopolized by the ritchest and most desireable men.

    First thing, plese let me point out that the recent drama with the polygamists was in TEXAS, not in Utah. Not that we don't have our polygamists here. Most of them live their lives just fine, but then there are the ones who go into murder for control of the sect and forced marriage to girls as young as 12, and the excommunication of teenage boys. That last happens because you can't have polygamy without an excess number of women, and after the first generation, the genders tend to be equal in number.

    I've also seen some polygamous families where there can be some unpleasant drama amongst the wives. The new young, nubile wife who is currently hubby's favorite feels that she does not have to do the bidding of the Senior Wife, who is in charge of the household. Or, hubby is not in the mood when it is the turn of wife #5, and wife #4 and wife #6 lord it over her.

    When the marriage is between consenting adults who know what they are getting in to, I think it is nobody's business. Just like homosexual marriage, it has nothing to do with me, and I don't see how it would harm me, so live and let live.

    But when they start those abusive behaviors I mentioned above, well, that's just sick and wrong.

    Thank You! I get so frustrated explaining this to people. I'm not a fan of polygamy, it just bristles my feminist nature. I don't think it should be legal and I wish it was prosecuted more. I don't think it's healthy for the children to be raised to isolated from society. Sounds like a recipe for abuse and discord.

    Also, polygamist are NOT Mormon. The Mormon church does not condone or approve of polygamy.

    Allow me to correct a misconception !? Monogamy is NOT benefitting males in general. It's only benefeting the losers !!!

    In economics analysis it is very important to distinct !!! Between ... winners and losers ... males and females ...

    They are only ever isolated because it is ILLEGAL. If it were accepted and LEGAL that wouldnt happen
