The only only only reason I could think of was if one guy was a bazzillionaire and the other was hunky. Or she is a hyperactive masochist. Why does this question come up? Have you heard of such a thing?

Are you asking why any woman would want more than one husband? I think you are asking why a woman would be interested in polygamy with it being on husband with many wives. To answer that question, I have to say it's the companionship of the other wives and getting help with the household and child raising responsibilities. Personally, I am a one lover kind of person. However, I can see accepting polygamy if I grew up in a culture where is is common. Throughout most of our history we have accepted polygamy as a valid family group. It's not at all unusual, I don't think it's for me, though.

IGNORANCE

I know I'm going to mess up this joke, but I'll give it a shot: A Woman needs a man who is kind and attentive. A Woman needs a man who is good father and good provider. A Woman needs a man who is true romantic and fabulous lover. And a Woman needs to make sure that none of those three men ever meet either of the other two....;-D..

Possibility 1: Having more than one husband: Has high sex drive, or believe in Alternate sexuality (can't think of the right word),Status, Double companionship, To be better taken care of. Possibility 2: Being one wife of several: Companionship with the other wives, Chores shared, Low sexuality-would rather share, Believes in alternate sexuality, If senior wife, can order around the other wives, Power, Status.

I would have to say that it really depends. Is this something that they have grown up with? Is this something that is due to an alternate sexuality? If this is something that you grow up with, well... You don't know anything different. Stop judging other's by your standards, judge them by theirs. Just because you grew up believing that monogamy is the only way to do it, doesn't mean that your way is the only way. Maybe to you and that's all. If this is something based on sexuality, then it becomes different, it's not "Ignorance" as Mr. Answer "ignorance" states. That in itself is ignorant. I, myself, am not a polygamist, but I am friends with a polygamist trio. They are polygamist because they all love eachother, and not out of religious reasons. Not all love is sexual for those who think it needs to be, but they all genuinely care for eachother, and take care of eachother. One set has been lovers for years, but one of them needed to move away, the other later on married his lovers best friend. Then she (the one away)came back, and they all became one. Why would this happen rather than the usual B.S. you see on TV in soap opera's where "OMFG!! You slept with my BFF!!!!"? Because they all loved eachother long before. It's not about nightly orgies (as I know so many think it is, you're the ignorant), it's companionship, friendship, love, and freedom.

I'd like to share a husband with other 'wives'

Some well know woman (sorry, I cannot remember who) said "who wouldn't want to have one sixth of the President rather than all of Bozo the clown". Some - not all - women would accept security and status for themselves and their children at the price of sharing "their man" with other women. A few have even seen "their man's" ability to acquire multiple wives as reflecting positively on themselves "Hey - I am the wife of the Really Big Man", I am not saying that this applies to all wopmen, and certainly not that it is "right" - whatever that may mean. But it is an accomodation that many women have made over the years. Certainly, powerful men have always found women accommodating, whatever the formal setup.

Someone else gets to help do the laundry, buy groceries shopping, dishes picking up dirty underwear, take care of the kids, etc. LOL.
