Polyamory/Polygamy

[jurassicplayer]

Lolwat? Taking this a bit seriously, why those traits?

One can't help but fall in love with you, the other can't fall out of it .

 

[ShadowSoldier]

Tell me one reason as to why it's bad and that it can't be resolved easily.

Seriously, why not? There's really no negatives at all except for the kids being confused, and then maybe douche bags out there picking on the kids, but that's it. I think it should be legal already to be honest. One guy or woman wants to marry two partners, what changes, the persons shouldn't have sex with other people again?

Even then, a bunch of porn stars are married, have kids, and they still do porn (Tori Black being a great example). If you're not going to legalize polygamy, then that shouldn't be legal either. There's really no downside at all and it can't affect other people in any single way.

I was married once. Didn't want her, let alone more than one.

Polyamory is just trying to have your cake and eat it too. Maybe it works for you, but usually ends up with jealousy issues.

Why is this a thread?

And why do we have creepy Adventure Time fan art?

EDIT: But not to be a feminist here, but it does really just feel like a male superiority complex. Having one man served by many wives does feel like female subjugation to an extent.

Also I'd say that it doesn't really feel like a true relationship. A relationship is between two people who both love each other fully. To have one person say "Well I love someone else as well" makes it feel like one party is giving all their love in this relationship while the other is just kinda half assing it.

I'd be interested to see the effect of polygamy on divorce rates. It might arguably go down.

There is no reason and evidence to support this claim. Where do you base this, on a hunch? What are you, crazy?

May have something to do with who's giving birth. I mean, 1 female and 3 males, when the child comes out, who's the father?

I imagine you, guild and maybe soulx, shares a girl and make her pregnant.

The problem with polygamy is that you immediately think "One husband - many wives" - it doesn't necessarily work the other way on the mental level in many societies, and it probably should since hey! Equality and all that.

Like fuck I would gang bang a girl with soulsnatcher.

Why not?

Looking at the other side of polygamy and found that. I was like "why not?".

I guess you feel it's a female superiority complex and male subjugation the other way around? What about if everyone marriage to each other?

What if they give each/the other consent to look for another before hand?

We do have the technology to figure that out, but ideally, they will all treat her/him like their own child.

You don't have do it at the same time. You would do so with Guild?

I want to address the "Divorce Rate" argument since no one else has.

First of all, the divorce rate is on the decline. It spiked around the Women's Liberation Movement in the 60s, when many women felt empowered enough to finally leave their marriages behind. Since then, the divorce rate has stabilized and lowered; marriages now are lasting longer than marriages ten or twenty years ago. Secondly, the divorce rate for first marriages isn't actually all that high - the likelihood of divorce increases greatly with each new marriage, and these failed marriages get included in the statistics for all marriages. That skews the results a bit. Finally, the divorce rate still isn't that high. It's more frequent than most would like, but it isn't the epidemic that pundits in the media might want you to believe.

Also, divorce isn't a bad thing. Now, bad divorces can be heartbreaking affairs, but not all divorces have to be (or are) bad. 100 or so years ago, when divorce was still something of a taboo, if you were in an unhappy marriage, well, tough shit. You and your spouse had to suffer together for the rest of your lives, each resenting the other. Bitter fights would often be the norm, rather than the exception. That's not exactly a happy environment for children to grow up in.

Divorce is just a reflection of human nature - we all make mistakes. Finding someone to spend the rest of your life with is a tough choice - and hey, if you and your spouse realize that it isn't working out, things can still end amicably. People are no longer trapped or boxed in - and while growing up with two single parents may not be "traditional" for children, it sure beats the alternative.

So yeah. I know I've rambled a bit, but my points is that the whole divorce thing is a non-issue - or at the very least, not enough of one to justify condemning polyamorous relationships.

2 adults should have freedom but, there should be limits.
"oh im an adult therefor i can take like 20 women & have like 90 babies."
we don't live in tribes & colonies anymore.
that kinda stuff is dangerous now & costly the economy. food stamps x20 + number of kids? o.O

maybe in some countries its ok, but living in some random 2 bedroom apartment trying to achieve this in america. >.>

also its kinda hard finding a girl as if, now old man Jenkins over there hogging them all? lol

 

[pasc]

I don't see a benefit that would arise by legalizing it...

 

[BORTZ]

This is something about being able to own multiple shapes or something, right? Like i can buy a square AND a triangle now?

 

[KingVamp]

Hypothetically, each of the 5 employees could have 5 wives. That would be 25 wives that an employer would be obligated to insure, as oppose to merely the 5 wives (one per man) that they are currently obligated to insure. That would be a tremendous financial burden for a business and one which I don't believe they should have to cover. If you want to have multiple spouses, the burden should be on the individuals involved to ensure that they can afford a polygamous lifestyle.

As I alluded to previously I find nothing wrong with polygamy objectively, I just don't think that tax breaks and insurance benefits can be extended to polygamous families for practical reasons.

I see your point. Maybe a set coverage meant for polygamous families, but not a additional coverage to each and every spouse.

Shouldn't have tax break for the married anyways, coming from a married.

Why?

One can't help but fall in love with you, the other can't fall out of it .

Idk. Yandere seem like a highly jealous type or at least most likely be one. Has
more of a chance of not ending well. I think if you are going there, you are better
off with two tsunderes.

Laws?
Not enough female/male to go around?
To many spouses to one person/group?

Allow polyamorous people to marry each other?

 

[ShadowSoldier]

Laws?

To many spouses to one person/group?

Laws can be changed easily.

And not enough people to go around? Using that is like saying that each person HAS to get married to a different person. Again, there's no real valid reason why a person can't have multiple spouses. There's no negative benefits at all.

 

[dickfour]

People can do whatever they want in the privacy of their homes but that doesn't mean the government has to put their stamp of approval and legally recognise such unions and that doesn't mean I have to approve of it but yea you're free to do whatever the fuck you want

 

[DaggerV]

@Kingvamp - > I've always found the notion stupid. If anything life becomes easier with two people, add children in, sure stuff changes, but it adds incentives to get married in a world where it's lost it's meaning for most part.



Edit: Or country, I dare say, the rest of world fares better possibly.

 

[The Real Jdbye]

Too many questions. I think if all sides are fine with it, it's fine, as that seems fair to me.
