How do you feel about polygamy?

Well, I've never quite been able to wrap my head around it myself. I'm very monogamous, but that's my nature, and my choice. I try not to judge people for making their own choices, even if it's difficult for me to understand. Being a feminist, I've never understood why women would be faitful to one man, but allow him to have many partners. It SEEMS to me that the woman must feel low self-worth to allow that ... and it SEEMS to me that the man is getting away with a lot and controlling the women, the situation, etc. But, I know that things aren't always what they seem.
-
It sounds confusing. I would have enough trouble dealing with one wife.
-
One husband is plenty for me. I don't think I could handle more than him.
-
I like to share, but not that way...
-
If it works for others that's fine. It isn't something that interests me.
-
Depends. Does she cook and clean?
-
I think polygamy is a very complex marriage model next to monogamy. It's worth learning about and being interested in, for me. I feel that polygamy is beautiful in its own way and it would be something I'd be interested in trying.
-
Not too good. Not too good.
-
That life is to short not to try it at least once.

Asking for trouble. One wife is plenty
-
I cannot find the mute button on one wife,how in the hell will I get 4 or 5 to shut up?
-
If all parties involved are happy with it then, great. It's not something that interests me but I'm not into forcing anyone else to live as I do.
-
I think that polygamy is great! My wife, not so much.
-
After going on a date with three girls at once, I can just imagine how they'd gang up on you in a marriage! No thank you!
-
I think it's weird... I should probably answer in a more thoughtful and intelligent manner. But yeah, I think it's weird.
-
Please....one woman is enough!
-
As long as everyone involved in doing so voluntarily, and the children aren't being forced into young, unhealthy marriages, I'm fine with it. People can do as they please and the government has no right to have a say in how you live your life. I don't believe the government should even recognize marriage at all. None of their business.

I think everyone in the Bible, that I can think of, did it through some kind of sin and suffered consequences from it. Abram/Abraham and Sarah didn't trust that God could give them a child through Sarah's old body, so they decided to help him along and use Sarah's slave girl as a co-wife. Jacob ended up with two wives because of his father-in-law's duplicity, substituting his ugly older daughter for the wife Jacob had worked for, because he didn't want to end up stuck with her (poor Leah, she deserved better than that). That set up jealousy between the sisters, where Rachel was the more loved, but Leah was the more fertile and resulted in them bringing their slave girls into the mix in a game of oneupmanship. Both families suffered hardship and pain because of that polygamy. So no, I don't think the Bible supports it and I don't think it is a good idea. I think it is bound to cause jealousy and fighting.

I refuse to share the spotlight with ANY woman. Period!

I think it's fine as long as it's something entered into by freethinking adults. It seems odd to me, but it might be perfect for someone else.
-
One word: Why ? One wife is enough for me!
-
Maybe, I have always wanted a harem.
-
meh, if everyone's on the same page and everybody's ok with it then i don't really care
-
I don't think it's right. If you really love your wife/husband then what use do you have for someone else? The one person you love can and will satisfy your needs!
-
Not that too? today everything is plastic LOL
-
As far as I'm concerned, if there's no undue influence or coercion involved, people can marry whomever and however many others they want.
-
seems like it would be REALLY REALLY stressful and complicated for the women....and probably the poor husband too!
-
I'm into quality,not quantity.And I have the best.
-
I have a hard enough time satisfying one wife
-
emmm people can have the choice to choose what they want i couldn't share my partner with anyone to be honest
-
How do I feel about it? It's fine... It takes a strong group of people to actually make it work and you can't go into it with the expectations of it being a smooth ride all the time as men compete among themselves and women do the same... It could get hairy. But with maturity and understanding... Im sure it could work. It extends the family and enables for more help. Lots of people need that these days. I think it sucks that they all dont sleep together though... That would be much more fun!
-
Not for me but if it works for others, I'm not going to down them for it.
-
Whatever floats your boat!!!
-
I've been married for 22 years. Believe me, one wife is enough.
-
polygamy is good and righteous. women are too stubborn and rebellious,thanks to the feminist movement.but that will change very soon!!!!!
-
If that what people want to do who are we to tell them differnet.
-
I think it sounds fantastic ! I would be the one with all the husbands though, because I am not into sharing hahaha
-
" I don't know Ariel, I'm a straight chick but, ah! I'd rather sleep with a woman instead of knowingly sharing my man, don't you think so? And by the way did you know It's written in scripitures, that Ariel often sided with Satan against God's wills and expectations!!??It turns out that Ariel is a bad Angel afterall, so, I know who you are and what you are, what a pitty!! Do your research sweetie!!!"
-
It is acceptable if all members are in agreement. such a lifestlye would give many more options on life choices and limitations.
-
It's fine for childless couples who want to live this lifestyle. It's not for me.
-
I'm old-fashioned. I happen to believe in true love...that is exclusive..no room for more than two! Polygamy for me? No way Jose. For others..if it floats your boat it doesn't bother me one way or the other. :)
-
That it should be legalized along with homosexual marriage. Live and let live.
-
Just like I do about homosexual marriage: not for me but not legalizing it is inexcusable discrimination. Legalize polygamy now!
-
Opposing legal polygamy among adults is discrimination and bigotry. People should have the right to live however they want as long as they aren't hurting others.
-
I really could care less as long as it is not me however i think it is a crazy lifestyle and can really screw up a child's life.I am not going to judge.
-
I believe there is one type of polygamy that can be good. I do not believe marriage is meant to be strictly for 1 woman and 1 man, I think 1 man and more women can be ok (Never the opposite). However it is not for the faint of heart and I doubt I would have the stamina for such a relationship. It's hard enough to please 1 woman. BTW, I'm not muslim, and I don't believe in the "harem" concept where women are like a posession to the man.
-
I think it's weird, I'd never do it. I refuse to share MY dick(man) with another girl.
-
one woman is hard enough to handle....now you have more than one? Wow thats just asking for additional torment.
-
Feels like trouble on the long run...
-
I don't. Just because the social trend seems to be perversion, greed and shock factor, I don't go for it. Why? There is no need. That is a male-invented bullshit idea.
-
Who needs two mothers-in-law?
-
Not much one way or the other. But there is the problem of inheritance, particularly when a multiple marriage turns serial (youngsters marrying in replacing oldsters dying out of it) the accumulation of capital would be excessive and unhealthy.
-
I don't know...let me ask my wife. LOL
-
I only know about the bad, horrific examples, so I am not really at liberty to expound.
-
It seems to work in some cultures. So maybe it's not really so "weird" but just a different way of thinking about things. Personally, for me one is ENOUGH!
-
well...it would be nice to say.."hop too bitches!!!" just for the fun of it....but honestly...sounds like too much work to me in the end.
-
I would love to have four Husbands, one to rub my feet and the others to get there lazy asses to work.It might work out for us woman, All their paychecks and bossing them around..I would love all those husbands...
-
Horrible,sick,disgusting and on and on.....y do ppl want variety in mating? i think there r so many unsuccessful relationships,ppl cant handle 1 then y do they want so many.
-
As long as it's non-gender specific and adults only, it should be legalized.
-
I dont understand, why would someone want to share their spouse, that just baffles me
-
Polygamy is wrong it just way for a my to live out his deepest sexual fantasies.
