The GPS Random SD&D Topic #1: Polygamy

[Gundampilotspaz]

Please use this space to discuss Polygamy. Its moral, social, and personal issues. As well as different ways that Polygamy can work in a realistic setting.

[Kreutz]

If you can put up with more than one woman at a time, go for it. As for me, one is enough. I don't have that much money.

[margot]

I don't believe polygamy can ever work out between people in romantic relationships. I generally believe that if you love more than one person, eventually you'll grow to love one person more than another and want only to be with them.

[Arcane]

As I said in this threads former life, I am against polygamy because the women in these polygamist relationships are often abused and neglected. Other than that, I don't have any moral or religious objections to it.

[Siendra]

Hey, if you can make it work, go for it. Personally it isn't my cup of tea becuase I can barely muster the emotional attachment for a one-on-one relationship, nevermind anything more.

Honestly, I think Polygmay is misundersttod. There's certainly a large number of the relationships in which people are miserable, but some of them work too.

Equal opportunity fucking.

It shouldn't even be a question. If you want to have a colony of 40 women, and they want to be with you. Go for it. If a woman wants a colony of 40 men, she should go for it.

[Kreutz]

I think it's wrong, just because it means less women for the rest of the guys :(

Judging by this board, I'd say there are quite a few who could do without.

Did the concept of a wife with many husbands not occur to you? o.O Or a line marriage, which GPS is disturbingly obsessed with?

Anyway, what the hell, GPS, are you just redoing your original SDD topic things?

[Ceraziefish]

See, I already don't comprehend serious one-on-one relationships. So a polygamous relationship is already a total mindfuck.

[Poophy]

Polygamy cant work, if because of nothing else, some people in the relation ship will become closer than others, and after a wile it will become a 1 on 1 relationship.

My reasoning:

First, the reason that I believe that people will prefer 1 of the members of the relationship over the others is because it is human nature. Look at your own family. Do u have some relative that u like more than others, favorite grandparent, that kind of thing. So why wouldn’t u have a favorite wife…?

And once u had that favorite wife why would you spend time with the others…?

But look at people who cheat on their partners. Of course, it'd be bad even if they were married, but the point is is that people's affections change over time.

Polygamy only works in anime and the middle east. That is all :happy:

[Anime Gee]

As far as relationships & marriage, I only want ONE woman. Having more than one fucks everything up.

If I feel like doing booty calls, as many as I can get is good with me! (^o^ )

[rockerluke]

If you have enough money to support your wives and if they can get along with each other, why not allow polygamy? But sad to say, this is not always the case.
