Doing or not doing something based on religion is ALWAYS stupid, in as much as most of religion is nonsense to begin with. Why base an important part of your life on something that even the poorly educated can prove is full of flaky.
Future disclaimer- While you can say where you got your views from religion , experience or a combination of the two, this isn't a religion debate. Please didn't try to turn it into one.
But consider this. It is all fine and dandy till you look at it from the other side.
Plural marriage does NOT need to mean you get t dip your wick in several wives. Why can't it be a woman possessing several men to play with?
And then you realize the REAL problem with plural marriage. Maybe you do NOT want to be known as other than the first round draft pick eh.
Jealousy is a real problem when it is YOU that is not in demand. Because, why should it be all about you eh.
It is common for males to think 3 some equals a guy and 2 girls and man is it cool to watch a woman do another woman while you are screwing one of them as well.
But, can you put yourself in THIS picture. Imagine YOU getting a mouthful of nice warm cumshot as you suck off male number two while your tool is keeping the woman happy. Oh but you are not bisexual? The thing is, most guys just assume two women want to do each other just because the guy thinks it would be 'hot'.
No type of relationship is perfect.
Either their hypocrites or they don't agree with polyamory/plolygamy in general. In fact there are stories about that. MFM
(first round draft)
You mean they didn't want to be known as the first wife?
Jealousy come from outside the relationships too.
Just no comment.
Why would you stay in a relationship that would force you like that.
minus masochist of course.
I like how you assume that the men that are into that stuff (at least in general here) would force their heterosexually wives into doing that.
Then as this person already pointed out.
This.
Polygamy != threesome
Also note how it says "consenting adults". Said consenting adults know (or should know) what they are getting into.
and
this.
Also there's this nice thing called taking turns.
A lot of people on this site are very sick and twisted.
Are you talking about the poll or thread?
I could just see a massive spike in cheating spouses and jealousy, not to mention sky-high child support.
Wouldn't it be the opposite? Less room or motive to cheat. Jealousy exist outside
a monogamous relationship, wouldn't it be the same? Not everyone is going to have child after
child, only certain groups do that. You can have a lot of children in monogamous couples too.
Speaking as someone who has actually been in a polyamorous relationship: they're really fucking difficult.
Even if you don't consider yourself to be a jealous person, the chances of one of the three or more people involved having jealousy issues is pretty high.
It was mentioned earlier that most polyamorous relationships will fail. And they will. You want proof? How many girlfriends/boyfriends have you had in your life? And how many have you married. Most relationships fail, whether they're monogamous, polyamorous, or something else.
So I'm all for polyamory, and if you can make it work then that's great, but I see no reason to make it legally binding.
So base on your experience, jealousy is higher? I see. A FMF or MFM? Was jealousy your only or biggest downfall?
It's there a reason to keep it illegal for people who want it bound by law?
