    The reason you could not share your husband ... you were raised with the "notion" that it's OK for a woman to have a positive sense of self worth. It's OK for you to feel that your are equal to a man.

    Girls raised in polygamy are not taught this. If a woman who share's her husband is jealous ... the woman has a problem. She's the bad guy. It's not like "Big Love" ... girls raised in this environment are taught they are second class citizens.

    that is also how girls are raised in the middle east, even Mexice (the oldest boy of the family gets no discipline and is revered) it's someone else's culture. I feel lucky I was born in america, I feel lucky I was raised Wiccan and not brainwashed by a Christian family - there's many who don't agree with that. Everyone will never agree on everything.

    what is cracking me up here is everyone assuming the relationship would be one man with multiple wives. I have friends in my life where it is one woman and two men. It's not about the men sharing the woman. They all love (and enjoy) each other equally.

    Just my luck that I would get 4 women to go along with this idea and then their TOM didn't synch up. Every week there would be one woman p*ssed off.

    LOL


    LOL, My husband thinks its crazy to have more than one women. He said they would just gang up on him and it would be hell. lol

    Live and let live.

    However, for me personally, there's no way I could ever share my partner or share myself with other men.

    Why would I want to disappoint two women?

    Oh and I'm a greedy *kitten*. I don't share well.

    Honestly, I couldn't care less...as long as everyone involved is of age.

    That being said, I don't think it is for me.

    Hey I'm for it!!!

    Many women to choose from. More women means more children which means the man better have a GREAT job. Womens work is done at home in this sort of system.

    Consenting adults can do what they want.

    Adults = 18+ not 12 year olds

    My only other problem with it is that if you have 12 wives and 48 kids then you should pay to have 12 wives and 48 kids. you shouldn't have 11 wives collecting WIC and Welfare and anything else they can.

    If four women want to live in the same house together and share a man, then they can have at it. I don't care. Much luck to them. Agree with the others that the government should stay out of it.

    Maybe in polygamous relationships as practiced by certain religions, but that doesn't have to be true.

    I'm fine with consenting adults getting down any way their sick little hearts desire.
    Polygamy is in part so taboo because in it's practice hay day it married very young girls (12-14) to much older men without true choice and while forcing many of the young men out of the communities to save the girls for the old creepers. There was quite a bit of brainwashing, rape, and very little true freedom for many of the women/girls in those communities.

    If It is okay for a guy to marry or be with how man girls he wants, I would hope I could do the opposite and get married to or be with as many guys as I would like. But it isnt hurting me and if they have talked trough the situation and are consenting ADULTS then it is up to them. But what guy in his right mind would have to deal with 2 or more PMS'ing, menopause-ing women.

    I know its like that in some families.. but (and I know they may act different for the cameras) the family on "sister wives" seem perfectly normal.. no degrading the women, a lot of the wives work... they really don't seem that different from the dynamics of most of the families I know.

    One out of four pissed at all times is better than four at once...

    Great point on the welfare! It's certainly burdensome on the public system if it were abused in this way.
