Ladies, your thoughts on matriarchal polygamy (Polyandry?)

Post Reply New Topic

Not a girl all though I wish I was I don't think I have that good of a libido to satisfy more then two women I couldnt have sex with more then two that is way to much work.

Do I think it should be legal? Absolutely!

Would I ever choose it personally? Not a chance!

So how about imagining some situations? Maybe pretend you were going to live with a polyandrist or polygamist family in one of those houses like they build for fundamental mormon families.

The housing situation isn't the reason I couldn't do it I doubt I could handle more than one man! Especially if they were NT... I have trouble with adequately meeting the emotional needs of the one I have now!

However, for ladies who either roll that way or would like to - I think it should be legal. I also think that polygamy should be legal. I don't believe the government (or anyone else) has any business meddling in consenting adults' sex lives!

Ah, but it is so much more when it's a marriage. It is not only a sex life, but evolutionary practice. There are specific advantages to these arrangements. More so for multiple women and one man in terms of diversity, but also for the one woman and multiple men scenario as there are more resources for the smaller number of children that will be had. So as long as everyone gets at least one or two kids and the woman is willing to have that many, polyandry has the same diversity benefit for her as it does for males in polygamy, plus there are a greater number of resources to invest in the smaller number of children, yet the family is still big enough to promote sibling cooperation on large endeavors. Tons of possibilities to think about for all involved. Polly is where it's at.

Not my cup of tea, I am strictly monogamous

You forgot the zero option which is definitely the right number of husbands.

I want to have a verry merry berry macho husband who likes sports and never wants to talk about his feelings. Maybe a firefighter.

I am a polygamist. I just don't have the emotional depth to meet the needs of my partner, but combined with our second partner (female) we manage to meet the emotional needs that were lacking. It is also very financially viable.

I wouldn't mind having another bf. I think polygamy can be good. It can be bad. But it definatley shouldn't be as one-sided as it is now or illegal. People need to learn to share, if they had, polygamy wouldn't be a big issue except to those who are religiously opposed or personally wouldn't be able to live that kind of lifestyle.

Sperm and egg donation would be unnecessary, even if one partner couldn't or choose not to have biological children, they could still be able to nurture the children of thier spouse's other spouse. Every child would have built in godparents. If one spouse became unable to work, there would be more than one other person to pick up the slack financially.

But u'd really have to practice safe sex. U may know who ur husband is sleeping w/ but how about his other wives? Or his other wives other husbands?

Agreed

Sometimes I fantasize about having a second guy, but he needs to be pretty much like my husband. It's more like if I like something very much, I wouldn't mind another one thing. In reality this can never work out.
All the countries with polygamy require that you treat them equally. Which in real life is nearly impossible. I also don't want to clean extra mess (if he's like DH there will be), do extra laundry, have extra babies or have another set of in-laws. Really just imagine they each have 3 sisters and 20 cousins, who each have 2 to 3 kids. Think about all the Christmas and birthday presents, the parties, the potluck, the weddings, the hugs, gossips and girly stuff. No thank you, I think my life is quite busy enough already.
