Polygamy and Polyandry - You decide

As both of my married boyfriends are employed and I am also employed and one of the two wives is employed, I can conclusively say that the supposition that only one gender will necessarily be working is garbage.

This thread started off decently and has descended into LEGALIZE INCEST MONEY GRUBBING GRANDMA SEX. I'd be glad to have this debate with you OP, if you keep it on topic.

Hi, infrequent poster here, but as I'm reading this thread I feel I have to say something. I can't speak for anyone else, but IMHO there's no way I'd ever marry more than one wife. If I did have multiple wives I'd never get the TV, the constant chattering and cattiness would drive me crazy, I'd get hammered from all sides if I left the toilet seat up, and the house would have that multiple-women touch, which would be nauseating for me as a man. Fuggedabouddit, as they say in NY!

Same thing with a woman with multiple husbands. There'd be nothing but bacon and beer in the fridge, the smell of multiple farts would permeate the air, there would only be ESPN and NFL football on TV, and various car engine parts all over the place.

That's probably why God ordained marriage to be between one man and one woman. For balance!

Nothing like stereotypes to not make a point.

What is stereotypical for one may be typical for another. Besides I believe he was just stating why HE wouldn't be involved in plural marriage.

The women he described are not typical in my world. so. :shrug:
Neither are the men.

If they were,
I'd definately choose another woman to partner with.
Unless she were catty.
Kitty caty fine.
Catty and petty, no.
Caty and petty, sure. :bkcat:

Nice thread Mr nnmartin , for my experience that polygamy is very acceptable in same cases .
and i know some men marry more than one , and he lived in happy and they also . (it's just an experience ) all refer to the woman to accept or not , and abitly of the man to open two or more houses ,and care to them .

in Polyandry I guess it's not allowed in any religion or human law .
because it's not practical human idea , "imaginal maybe " , or "animal " .
because of many reasons :
-most of the men won't accept a partner to his wife .
-it's will made a social problems , crimes , a husban kill his partern , kill the child of his wife of the her second husband , rape the daughter of her wife of her second husband .....etc
-the main reason of Aids is when a woman made sex with many men . the AIDS will be expansion more and more .
-the dignity of the "man" we will find just "males" , in this the cheating will be expansion more and more , and will be world full of cuckolds and ...... .

As opposed to the dignity of the women, who are made by God as sex dolls and breeding machines so they're cool with it.

Exactly! I don't really care if other people want to marry whomever, whatever, and in what quantities, I'm just saying I wouldn't do it! And what's so wrong with injecting a little humor anyways?

If Poly marriages are important to a society
they will make the changes and inclusions necessary
to make it so.

Yeah, I don't think we need to worry about this anytime soon. Unless unworkable disasters become important to society. Heck, maybe it will happen, then.

God created us (men) first :D i am just joking of course .

the dignity of the man comes from his authority and his duty , he suppose the responsible , to care about his wife and his family and protect them , if he has a partern share his wife , where is the dignity ?

and in this case (if we accept this) will jump to next level , his mother , his sister , and daughter , why not ? let's break the boards , this is how the animals living .

in Polyandry I guess it's not allowed in any religion or human law .

Actually, the Mahabharata has very excellent saints share a wife.

Besides, that it has not been done commonly in the past doesn´t mean it cannot be done. That is a fallacy.

-most of the men won't accept a partner to his wife .

-Most women out of cultures where this was done frecuently wouldn´t accept females partners neither in this culture of gender equality.

-it's will made a social problems , crimes , a husban kill his partern , kill the child of his wife of the her second husband , rape the daughter of her wife of her second husband .....etc

Uhm.... I don´t know if you took this examples because that is what you would do.... but if sharing your wife would make you have all this reactions, then just don´t share her. We are not discussing if everyone should do it, we are discussing wheter the option of doing it should be legal to consenting adults. If the man consents to this, then naturally he wold be okay with it. we have no reason to believe he would doo all this stuff.

-the main reason of Aids is when a woman made sex with many men . the AIDS will be expansion more and more .

The main reason for aids is when anyone makes sex with many anyones. If all the partners of the relationship are AIDless, AIDs won´t magically appear out of all the sex the unAIDed people are having :p

-the dignity of the "man" we will find just "males" , in this the cheating will be expansion more and more , and will be world full of cuckolds and ...... .

I don´t know what kind of man or male you have in mind when you say this.

As a man I can tell you my dignity is not this narrow. If I want my relationship strictly one on one is because of preference not an alleged lost of dignity.

My gf joked about polyandry before we were together, I can understand her because I would like to have multiple women too :p . The reason that the relationship is one and one is because she wants more men and I want more women, so we can´t agree :D.

I'm willing to bet that if it were a wife sharing her husband with another wife instead of a husband sharing his wife with another husband, you would think different, wouldn't you. Also, your standards for "dignity" seem rather arbitrary.

and in this case (if we accept this) will jump to next level , his mother , his sister , and daughter , why not ? let's break the boards , this is how the animals living .

It still wouldn't be as bad as when the Prophet Mohammad married and then sexually abused a child. Now that's "how the animals living".

of course most of the women did not accept "female" partners . but in some case they wish helf of man . especially when the train of mariage gone . and they be old enough to get baby .
or when men been rare in after war "many of men die" .

Many would have said the exact same thing about the emancipation of women,
and the freeing of slaves.
The second one turned out only to be a disaster in terms of the war waged in the fight not/to bring it about.

i honestly believe that the type of love you have for a life partner can never truly be shared among 3 or 4 people, the way u would in common marriage. to say truly that you love 3 women or vice verse inst really feasible.

The missed joke aside, are you actually under the impression there's a large percentage of people who feel discriminated against because they can't legally take part in a plural marriage?

Nope. I'm pretty sure I started the whole thing with "if".

As well... IF you were funny, I'd laugh.
Keep working on it.

Your welcome :namaste

or when men been rare in after war "many of men die" .

Honestly, I didn´t understand anything of what you said here, so I can´t answer :eek:

it's prevision result , if that happened

A very unreasonable prevision result though. At least when we are talking on consenting men who agree to this scenario.


when the woman makes sex with many .
I have interseting question why no deseas aprear in Muslim countries because of Polygamy ? why the Muslims countries are the less rate in AIDS .


The link you provided say only half the adults with AIDs are women, so the other half should be men. Then there are as much women with AIDs as men, so it is just silly to believe it is just women.

Probably muslim countries have less AIDs because there is less sex before marriage, so venerean diseases are a lot harder to pass. As I said earlier, AIDs doesn´t just appear, one of the members of the marriage must have sex so he can pass it on to the others. If non of them have AIDs it doesn´t matter if they are 3 or 500. If they only have sex in between themselves and none have AIDs, they won´t get AIDs by sex.

what is the different between man and male for your opinion?
for me it's huge
for exemple this is part of film show a male lead/take out his wife from at a policestation , when she was cheating him with a men .

I think we humans are animals. We are just better animals than the rest of them :p . So, Both a man or a woman is capable of lead/take his/her partner out of a difficult situation such as being trapped in the spolicestation or w e.

It has been irrefutably proven that both women and men are potentially capable of leading, but at the same time, that not necessarily every man or every woman is prone to do so. There are marriages where the woman leads in most areas. As long as both man and woman are happy with this, I see no wrong.

A real man IMO won´t feel belittled because of the actual abilities of his female partner, like leading for example. Consensus are to be made.

I happy because it's was just a joke :D

Well, I don´t know how much of a joke was it :p . I think at least part of her would be able to leave in such a relationship. I know I could live with many women too, so I would understand her if that was the case. She still can´t do it as long as she is with me though :p
