Would you like an extra spouse with that?

[Saint Cy of JFC]

Why couldn't you handle it?

I think it gets really interesting when we break through the standard answers of "wow one woman is tough enough" and really consider it. What would it be like? We have some tv shows to go by, but that dramatizes it. It wouldn't be just all sex all the time, or all nagging all the time. There are times my wife and I both thought another adult in the home would be great. Potentially a third income stream. Someone else to help corral the kids. Someone maybe available for getting to that appointment we almost missed for whatever reason. Could there be a marriage that was celibate except for one partner, say the "primary" partner?

Sounds like you want a live in nanny that you don't want to bang.

Historically speaking, instead of having another parent to corral children, wouldn't the amount of children increase as the number of wives did as well?

Well, the perfect third wife would be infertile, have no jealousy issues, love doing house work, have a decent paying job, and give excellent bjs. At least, that's what Lograd seems to be explaining.


I'm sure this could work, but it would take 3 people who are all very good together. It couldn't be just a guy married to two chick, all 3 would have to love each other equally. That is a hard enough connection to get and maintain between two people, I see the success rate being even lower trying to make it work 3-ways.

You have to pay live in nannies. If you end up banging them, it becomes prostitution.

Sounds like the dream to me Log.

Get wife one whose the bread winner yet maybe wants a kid or two. Get wife two who believes nothing outside a woman's role is in the home raising kids.

It's a money makers match made in heaven. The key is to join 3 people in a relationship as tight as joining two, which posters like Cyrone must be too lazy to do.

This **** is marriage perfection. Rep the man.

No. I would not even waste the time considering it. Any "added benefit" is potentially offset by expanding the household by one or more persons. I like my family exactly the size it is. That's it.

 

[Qman]

A polygamous relationship is usually based gender power inequality. Women literally needed a man to have a good life. There wasn't enough strong men to go around. So the women shared.

I don't see the need or utility of it in modern society. Women are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves. Now if you had some sort of love triangle thing going on, maybe there would be reason for it.

 

[franklin]

Everyone's talking current situation like nobody seen that video two girls one kid.

Two girls, one kid.

 

[moevillini]

so does your question apply to a woman having multiple husbands? or multiple folks of any variety of genders having friendships with benefits with others in the group?


seems to me like it would just get very confusing

Mrs. Doubtfire perhaps!

 

[Dr. Jones]

Would have zero desire to have multiple wives.
If I were single, I'd prefer to date many.. but that's completely different.

 

[TroutBum]

I'd sooner cut my balls off and feed them to my cats. One psychotic person in this house is enough. Besides, I'm positive my wife couldn't handle another "me".

Yes. I was careful to say "spouse" and "partner", not just "wife" in this. Makes for more interesting discussion.
