i have enough trouble keeping one happy why compound the issue with more.i really don't think you can share the same feelings with multiple partners .i like the togetherness of a building relationship the sharing of times and events together you just don't have that closness with multiples..that is presuming you want a close tie to a partner..

Right...how could you not have favorites?

the favorites would get the most attention the others would get to do the laundry all the time..

Ruby that is soooooo Wrong!

There is a place in Salt Lake City, well a few but this one is a state park with old houses where they would live. The houses would have "back doors" to the rooms of the different women. I just think that would suck... listening to your man in the other room, banging someone else. Bad enough that you can't always get some when you want it, he gets old and worn out, no viagra back then.

yes, i know but so true..one would have the favorites,and want to spend their time with them ,so what are the others going to do,they can't go outside their collective,that would be wrong for them.it's just a different use of a harem is all..no bonding or building anything together just a good boink with a different woman when the guy wants..and the woman has no say in the matter..

let me rethink that position..

no i stand by my first post..

....not now! I'm busy remembering michael jackson.

Who in their right minds would want to deal with two wives

Now that's funny!!!!

this has been going on for years and Utah allows it so people take advantage of the situation...i wouldn't mind 200 booty calls,but 200 wives....hell no

OK so here is what it really comes down to. The old joke, men are like parking spaces. The best one's are taken and the rest are handicapped. So the solution is simple either double park or quit bitching about having to circle until some one decides she's done with the space you want and then if you can beat the others to the spot you can park for a while.

I've seen most men. I figure it really comes down to share a good one or keep a looser that no one else wanted all to yourself.

Now from the guys perspective. I knew that eventually married life was going to turn into married life. Both sides get busy with the effort of carving out a life. Then one day a young woman comes in and decides she wants the parking space your wife has. She's young and attractive and most importantly she makes you feel like you are the answer to all the world's ills. She looks at you with eyes that don't harbor the resentment of last nights struggle over how long little johnny should be grounded, or how to juggle the finances to cover all of the surprises of the month. No her eyes sparkle with hope and promise and a little naughty delight. A man is only a man and as you can tell from the news and from most of your friends eventually that makes him get stupid and believe that this is really the one. So he gets caught ruins his life and his wife's life. Leaves their kid in a broken home. All because he didn't realize that after 5 years this woman would be in the same place as his ex-wife.

How much better if everyone is honest. There is no deception. The new person breaths life into the family as a whole. Who knows maybe the new person even helps relieve some of the stress in the home and rekindles passion for all. Passion waxes and wains, it is commitment and dedication that gets families through the hard time until passion can rise again.

But most American women are conditioned by cultural pressures reinforced by religious/media/legal pressures to be doggedly committed to a system that leaves half of them divorced many of them multiple times and leaves most of them raising children with out fathers in the home. Suppose I would normally call it greedy but considering all it really brings is misery greed just doesn't seem to fit.

Do you have favorite kids? Do you favor one and despise the other? Stupid argument used by those who have never thought this through.

Yeah they were told that if they didn't get in line that Utah couldn't be a state so they "discovered a new revelation" that changed their whole belief system.

Don't get me wrong my own people changed their rules on polygamy because they were tired of their Catholic neighbors burning them at the stake for it. In 500CE Rabbi Gershome wrote that we should not practice it in countries where monogamy is the norm. I don't know why we would let the goyiem decide how we live but since then it has just become culturally unacceptable in most but certainly not all Jewish sects.

So while I bash on the Mormons for their lack of principles, they aren't alone. The funniest thing is that the whole purpose of monogamy was that in Roman law only the first and "legitimate" son could inherit. So because of Roman inheritance laws, Henry VIII killed many of his wives (being the good serial monogamist that he was LOL) or divorced other and still didn't get his heir. Countless children have grown up without the benefit of a mother and father in the same home. BILLIONS of dollars have been spent on divorce lawyers. Political careers have been ruined. Whole nations have been affected. It all stems from Imperial Rome's inheritance laws.

Well I was going to ask you since you have went into detail on your views as far as both aspects which way you lean. But........then I read your profile and as I have said before if that works out for those that choose to then to each their own. Just not something I would consider or do myself.

I don't judge those that do maybe a bit curious of the lifestyle and how they deal with it mentally. Myself I would have to be brainwashed to live that type of lifestyle.

I can feel your passionate regarding this subject. Im going to flip the coin. There is Good Men and Good Women. Bad Men and Bad Women. Divorce is always going to be there. Just because its a religion doesnt mean that divorce and children and broken homes are not going to happen. There is only one difference between adultery and polygamy. Polygamy the last name is the same and Adultery the last name is different.

You think it comes down to share a good one or keep a loser??? You have GOT to be kidding!!!! Like I said before, both, equally wrong.

poly-might be great!! One be a fantastic cook, one does nothing but clean house all day, one keeps the yard perfectly, one is a seamstress and makes all of our cloths and so on, all have full time jobs and all of them wait on me hand and foot, My own personal sex slaves constantly begging for more!!

That is all crap, just couldn't do it, but one that could do all of the above would be perfection!!
OK...OK... I would probably settle for one that is just a perfect sex slave and mute

it is absolutely disgusting



and any female who allows her husband to be a polygamist


has no guts or pride or self respect or real love for God


because God looks very down on that kind of cockroach behavior



& she isn't much of a woman AT All

Polygamy takes away ladies civil rights, it also decreases marriage rates (where there are equal women and men [not true, but close]).

Curious as to why you mentioned Mormon in connection with polygamy...they are certainly not the first religion to practice it, polygamy itself pre-dates Christ.
