haha, ok, so i hadn't thought into it too well. my mum actually wouldn't be terribly upset about either, she knows I'm completely insane. she'd wig at first but get over it, it wouldn't be the craziest thing i'd ever done...:wink:

anyways, i figure it might also need to be pointed out that polygamy refers just to men having multiple wives, and polgandry when a woman has multiple husbands. Polyfidelity and/or Polyamory mean it goes both ways i guess. so, I'm for polyamory, not polygamy i guess. i actually think that it's terribly unfair to be sexest about it.

so i don't know if thread was meant about polygamy or polyamory, and if it's about polygamy, which i strongly oppose, then i think concubines and bastards and all that should be brought up.

Oops...you caught me, I did mean polyamory, my mistake!

i don't think that my... activities, would be appropriate to mention here, or on topic. :wink:

sides, i don't see anything that wrong with polyamory, just societal taboos

Why is it bad? What are the benefits?

Discuss.


Would you like to be number 5 out 15 husbands? There's your problem.

What if you were too busy with wife number 27 to notice?

the majority can't fathom polyamory, alhtough maybe nowadays it is more acceptable...personally, i don't see myself as ever polyamorous, but i can understand why it would happen...
