What do you think of Polygamy?

Marriage of three or more people. Either all to one, all to each other, or a weird zigzag pattern.

I wouldn't do it myself, but between consenting adults I don't particularly see an issue. The common issues with it is that it can come with oppressive views regarding religion, sexism, racism, etc. So it could be a slippery slope. But consenting adults who are fully aware of their situation and preferences should be able to have as many partners as they want so long as the others are aware of it, alright with it, and it's not a toxic or oppressive situation.

@AmmieBell Excellent argument.
Sa: It's awesome. We're such a happy family, so close, and you have all the help and support you could possibly need or want at all times. Not for everyone, but if you can learn to share love between everyone it's absolutely amazing.

It’s not for me personally

But as long as everyone is a consenting adult and happy with the situation, I support it

If everyone involved is down for it then good for them. I was in a three way relationship once and it was a disaster, the sex was GREAT!! But yeah, nah, the rest of it was a mess.

[i][c=#BF0080]Not for me and if I learned it appeals to a guy I’m with, it’d be over cause I’d never respect him after that. But that’s just my view and I can respect others. [/c][/i]

That would depend on how my wives got along. 😜

I don't think it can work. Because humans are messed up, we want more partners but don't want our partners to be with other people. I honestly think those don't end up well because there will be someone who gets strong feelings and starts getting jealous and resentful.

I don't think it should be illegal but I doubt there's many instances where it works equally well for all parties.

I have my thoughts and issues as to why it would not work for me.
RedwoodBarman · 31-35, M
@StevenIzzi Care to elaborate? What issues?
StevenIzzi · 51-55, M
@RedwoodBarman My wife and I are swingers and in an open marriage.

We share our bodies, but our hearts, minds, and souls are exclusive to each other.

I love to be passionate, but in a poly relationship it requires me to give what my wife and I deem exclusive to each other.
RedwoodBarman · 31-35, M
@StevenIzzi Fair enough.
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Qwerty14 no one said it's a harem, you're mixing something entirely different here, imagine 2 women and 3 men for instance.
@DrSunnyTheSkeptic I never said a harem either. But it's clear that a harem is the most likely case and has been how polygamy has been practised in the past.
DrSunnyTheSkeptic · 26-30, M
@Qwerty14 Well yes, because of power. When you're in power and have wealth I think there is little you can't do. You could bend the rules. I'm pretty sure women would do something like this if they could.

When you looking for divorce, then go for it.
DiegoWolfe · 36-40
marriage is a sacred thing really.
RedwoodBarman · 31-35, M
@DiegoWolfe Maybe once upon a time, but not so much today. People marrying themselves, pillows, computer programs, etc.
Life is complicated enough
HoraceGreenley · 56-60, M
It's rough. I only like one of my wives.
SW-User
Not for me.
[c=#359E00]well.. it's okay[/c]

If it works for them then great. I only knew one polygamous relationship offline and they are all individually flawed so even a monogamous relationship with them would be dramatic & unhealthy
