What's the big deal about Polygamy? If it's fair to women and men allowing multiple partners to either?

Question

I like the first answer except that it assumes more than one wife instead of more than one husband. Imagine two male breadwinners and all the chores they could accomplish!

Answer 1

Humans have been polygamous in one way or another since biblical times. The number of concubines or harem girls that a man had gaged his success. Until the 1930's a man was expected to have a mistress or girlfriend, and any woman of means had a lover, handyman or "Prince", for "companionship". I can't picture managing a household with two wives, but look at the possibilities of three incomes, and dividing the chores 3 ways. Lot's of successful women have "boys on the side". What IS the big deal. It's none of their business, anyway.  

Answer 2

I totally agree.  I have mentioned this to my husband....One husband to take me out (since he doesn't like to do this)...and another to help with the kids....and both making money for the house.  If men can do it why shouldn't I????????????????????????  I'm going to form my own polygamist group:)
