I'm all for it. I'd just have to start buying vitamins in bulk

If you are that good at multitasking who is anyone to judge?

I remember hearing a song by an African who had some experience with this. He sang "Polygamy is not for everybody". I imagine it could only work out with committed people. Seems like the women involved would be only getting a share of the man's attention. That might not be a good thing.

I've said it before.. nope! I have enough trouble satisfying one person in a relationship. If I want to disappoint two people, I'll just go have dinner with my parents.

I think it might be the most perfect arrangement - it maximizes stability for the woman, and gives men the freedom and flexibility they are more wired to desire. I think jealousy is a toxic, controlling emotion that we should work to dismantle, and monogamy is rooted in puritanism which is antiquated and needs to go. Studies show the US in particular is more sexually uptight than other cultures, and I think that leads to a lot of repression, mental problems and violence.

Polyamory is not about the sick cult of not Mormons called Fundamentalist Latter Day Saints still headed by convicted felon Warren Jeffs. He and many of his followers are sick disgusting, brain-washing pedophiles or enablers of same. What they practice is a twisted and sick version of Polygamy.

Kids get molested by their family members in monogamous relationships ALL THE TIME.

On POLYAMORY -- it is doubtful that a child with polyamorous parents are any more likely to be molested than children of monogamous parents.

It's not for me but more power to those it is.

It really doesn't matter to me what other adults do within their own relationships, as long as everyone is consenting. That said, I think most of us have enough trouble navigating singular relationships as it is. Adding additional people just seems like asking for trouble.
But hey, knock yourselves out.

I have been in a rewarding relationship with one woman for a long time. It has been enough for me. However, what others do is their business as long as no one is being damaged by it. Whatever rocks your boat, kids.

Riskier to contract and spread STDs. ....confusing for children of the several parents half siblings ...Daddys called "uncles" Aunts called mommies. ...DNA tests necessary to confirm paternity with polygamous moms. ...enables patriarchal male entitlement by women agreeing to this emotional minefield. ...my Uncle was a bigamist but never arrested in Paris or Des Moines. ....I HAVE Atheist cousins from his marriages so I am partly grateful. ...he "married" Korean girl very late in life she a teen he in his '70's. ...she inherited his fortune not his 4 sons or 1st 2 widows he's buried @Pearl Harbor one of many Sailors I'm my Navy tradition

As long as people are ok in the marriage and are of legal age, no problem.

However lots of abuse are hiding in polygamy as related to church.

I view any man who is a polygamist as also a masochist.

I don't mind short people myself. I mean im not perfect as im dylsexic.

Is it a proposition that you are considering or are you considering it as a lifestyle choice? IMHO I am finding that as time goes on, people are less inclined to criticise you for your lifestyle choices.

Polygamy is cultural, whether abhorred (here in the U.S.) or culturally required (Tibet). My personal view is that a family is a group the joins together for richer, for poorer (etc. etc.). If it works, and no one is harmed? All the power to them.

Is a chance for a man to disappoint many women at same time

feels like Ralphie wearing all them coats in A Xmas Story.

What is your opinion? I do not think it works well in majority of relationship. Most men and women are possessive and will definitely not like sharing their partners. But you can always fall for someone whether you are married or not. That is more like an accidental relationship. By that I mean you do not plan for that relationship. So if you are already married and you get attracted to or start to have feelings toward someone, will that qualify polygamous even if the two person do not make it open to each other about their feelings.

Not my cuppa tea.

I only want to date one person at a time.

My only concern about it that - it often appears to be a way for powerful religious (male) leaders to control & subjugate women & younger men within the power structure of their 'church'.

Otherwise - as others have said here - as long as they are all willing, of sound mind & have a choice to leave if they want to I don't see it as my business to judge.

I have always been monogamous, but as I get older, and with this question posed, I don’t know that I would be completely against POLYAMORY (not polygamy) without facing the possibility and giving it considerable thought.

My fantasy relationship has always included myself and 2 bi-sexual men. As an actual long-term/life partnership, not just a drunken night of debauchery that is sure to get back to my mom. (And to clarify this Forever Threesome does not at anytime involve DP. Thank you!!!!!)
Could I do it in reality? I strongly doubt it. I can barely hold onto one man. And I've noticed most our male poly community around here has long hair. Not my bag. In fact, in this reoccurring fantasy, both my lovers look exactly like Dolph Lundgren. (To clarify, this is not an incestuos brother thing either, it's just an odd coincidence!!!!)
But I do know there is only one ounce of lesbian in me and it is reserved for Shannon Doherty.
So.... I try not to concern myself in other's love affairs. Well, from a "morally superior" stance. If you've got video tapes to share, I'll grab the popcorn.

Why do guy's want acceptance to legally fool around? I see no love in this kind of relationship. Just lust and control.

I worked with a guy who had four live in partners. It seemed to work for him. That being said, there are numerous cases in which polygamy involved minors, incest and domination.
