What is the difference between doing polygamy and doing a threesome?

Question

Do the "wives" do it together in polygamy?

Answer 1

Polygamy is a having more than one wife at the same time.

A threesome is just a male and two females or two males and one female having s*x. Most often unmarried to each other, or a married couple sharing.

As far as "wives" together with their husband, only they'd know, but I bet their are some polygamist spouses that do.

Answer 2

polygamy is having multiple loving relationships.

a threesome is s*x with 2 other people at once.

Answer 3

it's not sacred that's for sure.

Answer 5

A 3 some is usually just s*x and Poligamy is s*x and cohabitation.

Answer 6

Well the difference is they're married and i sure hope they do it together!

Answer 7

Polygamy is a relationship where one or more of the partners has multiple partners.  This is a more committed relationship where there are more than 2 participants.

A "threesome" can be just a sexual act with 3 participants.

Answer 8

Not usually. Polygamy is marriage. Threesome is s*x.

Answer 9

A threesome describes one specific sexual encounter, whereas polygamy is an attitude and a lifestyle that involves ongoing sexual relations with several people over the long term.  The wives may or may not be bisexual.  From the standpoint of old school religious forms of polygamy, I am guessing that they don't.

Answer 10

Polygamy is commonly used to describe a multi-partner relationship.  The most visible form is one husband, several wives, and the wives do not join each other in their husband's bed.  (See the FLDS church)

However, there are a number of other forms, including one woman, multiple men, or several men, several women, or even, I suppose, several women in a polyamorous relationship, or several men.  Moreover, it depends entirely upon the partners in such a relationship whether they all share the same bed, or whether they couple only  two at a time.  

In my case, our relationship is a triad, and so is a perpetual threesome, as you put it.  We share the same bed, and the we are each equal partners, and all love each other.  We prefer the term polyamorous to polygamous (as we are not all three technically married).

Answer 11

Polygamy,by definition means the practice of multiple marriage.

A threesome is three people having s*x together.

Answer 12

"Doing polygamy" hah, doing a multiple marriage? That just sounds strange....

If you're referring to the abusive cults where men take many young girls as wives and abuse them, I highly doubt the wives get together for any girl time.

If you really meant polyamory which is multiple loves at once, then it can be similar to a threesome and such if all partners are connected to each other in that way.

Hope that helps....  

Answer 13
