Polygamy grosses me out. It's like the husband becomes the "dad" and his wives are all sisters. That's what I hear when I listen to the wives describe their lives. Yuk, double yuk

Polyandry? Grosse. Finding one attractive mate who doesn't repulse you sexually is next to impossible. More than one? A woman would have better chances of winning the lotto...then she could buy all the boy toys she wanted! :o

Apparently dwarf mongooses are monogamous

The marmoset and the tamarin, both primates, are monogamous.

I can't even imagine having ONE wife, what a NIGHTMARE. I propose a future where we are all Zerogamous. This will resolve the population problem in a generation.

I have enough trouble with one woman, I can't imagine multiples of trouble. Like the old saying goes if it has tits or tires its trouble.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Shannymara', '
')Birds aren't mammals, silly. :)

opps :oops:

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Shannymara', 'I')'m not taking sides on the monogamy/mammals thing. I don't know enough to have an opinion.

That's never stopped anyone here before. :-D

Personally I would love to have two or three wives that all loved me & all loved each other (and obviously who I loved also).

They would have to have fairly low sex drives because it's doubtful I could satisfy them more than three times a week (if I had two) or twice a week (if I had three). On average that is. Or I could include them all in one big fark fest. :lol: Lots of possibilities. Ideally they'd be bisexual but if they were hetero only I'd try to do the best I could & hope quantity over quality made them happy.

This is all totally hypothetical though because finding ONE woman down for this type of lifestyle (unless I was rich, aka : a prostitute) would be like finding a needle in a haystack. Finding two would be like finding a needle in one particular haystack on a farm with 1,000 haystacks.

Anywayz, I already have a woman & she gets jealous & angry when the female CAT is in my lap :lol: so there's simply no way this would work.

Speaking of cats Ludi (if you're reading this), I tried to PM you this but to no avail :

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('Narz', 'M')aybe this will help on a rainy day. :)

I keep thinking of one woman being the second income source, and the second woman being the housewife/child-rearer.

I think two wives would work but three would be a bit much.

From what I've heard the main possible downside for the man is that the women will gang up on the man, but that probably just stops him from being a prick. I don't think the usual scenario is some kinky setup where he beds both wives at the same time...

My wife would probably be glad to have another woman to receive "attention" since I am a 6-7 time a week person and she is a 3-4 time a week person.

Yeah? You should try to legislate some off-time then for yourself in your family.

$this->bbcode_second_pass_quote('rangerone314', 'M')y wife would probably be glad to have another woman to receive "attention" since I am a 6-7 time a week person and she is a 3-4 time a week person.

With myself & my girlfriend's it's the opposite.

Well, until our daughter was born, now I'm still a 3-4 times a week person & she's a 1-3 times a week person. :(
