this way, we can distribute the privilege of 'having a good man for a partner' to as many women who needs love and support... and ease the burden on related social institutions devoted to providing shelter and sustenance for abandoned women and children.

  1. I have nothing against polyamory and have yet to see a logical, well-reasoned argument against why one person can't love many other people.

    That's not to say I want my husband bringing home an extra woman for our household, but that I can accept that in every relationship people need different things, and what one person needs--monogamy--might not be what another person needs.

    As to the social benefits in terms of one man marrying and supporting numerous women, I think that presupposes that the women aren't bringing anything to the relationship other than baby makin', oven cleanin', housewifin' abilities and that somewhat bothers me.

    Also, you mention that a woman wouldn't be so physically in demand... but that presupposes that every woman has a lesser s*x drive than a man. In my own marriage, I know that's not true. ;)


  2. no a man should be devoted to a women and a women should be devoted to a man no more then 2 people being married together.....

  3. Hmmm. For each his own

  4. h**l no!!!!!!!

  5. If other people want to take part in polygamy, that's their business. I'd never do it.

  6. No i do not think you should be able to have as many wives as you want.  Marriage is about love not having a bunch of different women to sleep with.  Wanting more then one wife is just plain immature.

  7. NO.

    because you can only show TRUE love to ONE woman.

    so marry ONE woman and support her,

    DONT go around s******g everyone else just cause you can put a dollar or two on their table.

  8. Women generally no longer need that level of protection.  Our society has evolved so that women can earn a living, and we have cops to protect us.  These were issues at one time.  

    It might make more sense now for a woman to have several husbands.  This would help curb the overpopulation issue.  For example, one woman has 3 husbands and she has a child with each one.  

    The males work outside the home while she is bearing kids and maybe later one of them stays home?  Three incomes are coming into the house.  This could offset the high housing, auto, and education prices of today.  It takes at least this many men ( who are in sexual decline after age 18) to satisfy the average healthy lady.  Just an idea.  

    I am open to any arrangement that we provide a legal framework for.  As long as no one is exploited.

  9. it's pretty incredible some think we can allow men to marry as many women as he wants but we dont say that women can marry as many men or (some) dont support the rights of g*y ppl to marry.....

    ironic, isnt it?

  10. I don't think it's an answer to social issues, but I do think you should be allowed to have a relationship with as many women as you want.  1) Don't marry any of them.  2) It is important that they know about each other and are OK with it.

  11. No. There's a reason polygamy is illegal.

  12. No need for polygamy.  Women do not need a man to take care of them.  They do need the fathers of their children to step up and do their fair share in raising and supporting their children.

    Absent and non supporting fathers are the main cause of all the hardships that young women have to suffer through.  Hopefully with the help of DNA paternity testing and rigid law enforcement we may someday get a handle on that.

    Besides, in most polygamist households all the women work outside the home to help support the household.

  13. No.  Women invariably have lower status in polygamous societies, allowing polygamy will only diminish the status of women.

  14. man sh*t having one woman is hard enough you can't provide for more than one woman emotionally, it takes more than you can give to satisfy 60% of their needs anyway

  15. How can a man provide for heaps of women and the children that are born of this open marriage?  He would need to be a millionaire to start with.  But no, it's not the answer to social issues.

  16. If you and your partners enjoy this kind of lifestyle then yes t's a good idea, go for it.

  17. I have no problem at all with what consenting adults do with their lives, as long as I'm not supporting them with my tax dollars.

  18. No, just because I believe love should be a main factor in marriage, and I don't believe you can be in love w/multiple ppl.  Also, because women are territorial by nature, I can't see a good outcome at all.

  19. I'm 100 per cent in favour of adult people making whatever personal arrangement they want to for legal purposes.

    Anyone who wants to 'marry' anyone else should be able to, if the other partner is willing, and that those people should then have all the same legal rights, privileges AND responsibilities as any other married couple.

    And if one of them wants to leave the relationship for any reason, getting a dovorce should be a simple legal procedure, with adequate attention to matters of care for any children.

    Cheers :-)

  20. Nope, its illegal for good reason.

  21. No.

    It's only going to be trouble in the long run and it isn't worth it.

  22. Yes; just so as long as he does not put them in the same house; that's disrespectful; they are wives; not breeding machines.
