Ladies, your thoughts on matriarchal polygamy (Polyandry?)

Post Reply New Topic

If there would be no hard feelings, would you as a woman have more than one husband?

Discuss?

From what I understand, in the rare places where polyandry is practiced, it's not necessarily in matriarchal cultures-
it has unique evolutionary benefits for a group of brothers, for instance, to invest their resources in protecting and providing for one woman.
Gets heavily into mate-guarding as well- even if a child isn't one man's, it's his brothers, and thus very similar, genetically.

One is enough for me!

Are you kidding? Don't I have enough to do already???????

On paper, yeah. Men tend to get jealous seeing their wife with someone else; I can't see it going over well unless it was purely for survival.

Actually, thinking about intimacy, most men complain they aren't getting enough from their wife. That problem might worsen if a man had to share. Depends on the men's and woman's needs.

I find polygamy in all its forms (multiples husbands or wives, hetero or homosexual) to be a very fascinating concept. Since I am the easily jealous type, such a thing would not work well for me in real life, but I sometimes like to explore it through my artwork. In fact, I posted a sketch of a male and two females in the "Display your Artwork" thread in the Art, Writing and Music section not too long ago.

sure, why not? it could work to have a big household of husbands and wives together. i've been in an open relationship but it only worked after there was a significant amount of trust built up.

i am reading Sex at Dawn, and they have some convincing arguments for humanity's promiscuous past.

I can imagine it, but I would be very frightened of hurting people. It would really need exactly the right people.

I love my partner, but I still love previous lovers, one other man and one woman..
So I can imagine them all together, and I'd really like that.
But not if there was ever a hint of someone hurting.

I probably wouldn't do it, I'm not cut out for that sort of thing. Then agin, I don't think I'll end up married either.

Happy for my fellow sisters to do it if they want to though.

In fantasy yes, in reality I don't think I could keep up with anyone much less one man. Human beings are complicating. But I have no objection to any woman or man who is into such relationships provided that all parties are consenting. I know one gal who is in a relationship with 2 men and one of her men in a relationship with another chick. She seems to be fine with it.

Hmmm... I didn't realize it wasn't a matriarchal situations in some culture. I remember reading about a Matriarchal society somewhere in China, but actually there weren't any actual marriages. I think it was referred to a "walking marriage," but women were "the man." lol

I've often wondered how a relationship like that would work out for me. I don't mind the idea of groupsex, actually I like it And seeing that there are so few females here and they have trouble working out the means to have a family, perhaps a family like this might work for the autistic?

So how do you think the role of a woman would change in a Polyandry situation? What hurdles would she have to overcome to still achieve her goals? What else might she be concerned with?

Do you think there would be a lot of groupsex/quickies or men would just have to not get as much?

I'm just picturing the state of the bathroom.

Honestly I don't know. I think it would depend on the parties involved.

True story, I lived in a house full of mess like this:




If there's one thing I can't stand it's clutter and hot irons people forgot to turn off!

How about imagining some situations?

What about the rest of you?

BTW, I had to vote to see the results.
