| There's something about polyandry..
Posted: 2/10/2007 12:19:03 AM | Ok, for the record I am not seeing multiple people..Not even dating right now but I would like to know what people think about the idea of polyandry..( One wife,,numerous husbands..)
I see these shows where say 20 men compete to try to win one particular woman..and half the time I think it is just the competitive nature of the men that keeps thier interest.
At some times there have been polyanderous societies and it was the usual practice .
I always imagined there'd be alot of fighting amongst the men..but who knows.
I am not asking if people think it is "moral" or whether they themselves would be in this type of relationship.. Just could it work again..if so how..if not,,why not.. Some people involved in
polygymist relationships claim it works for them..why not this?
(yes I do know polygamy is illegal,.. they do it anyway..which says something) | |

Aside from that, the only problem I see is another guys jizz in your hole. That's icky. | |

Posted: 2/10/2007 12:52:29 AM | Hey judythecuety...interesting topic. IMO I don't think that any polyamourous relationshop would work for all parties involved. I think that there is too much competition not only in the male gender, but also in the female. As a species we are prone to jealousy and territorialism...it's just our nature. For a while the excitment of the situation might make it okay, but in the end someone would always end up getting hurt! Plus, it is really only satisfying the needs of one select individual (either the ONE male or ONE female) and the multiple people of the other gender are left to be 'selected'. For example, if a woman could choose between 5 men on any given night, and all of the men wanted her on that night, 4 would end up having their needs not met. I personally think it would be unfair to all involved....well, unless I was the woman! | |

Posted: 2/10/2007 1:12:27 AM | No not a pity thread..Not even looking to date right now..
There is a family joke in my clan about this,,Cz when I was young all the women were talking about the men..Bob was good with the kids but wouldn't help in the house.. Paul had a great job, but ignored the kids..Tom was very romantic but wouldn't work.
I told them obviously they just each needed 3 or 4 husbands and all bases would be covered.
I stll get teased about this..But it got me to reading and I have always found it an interesting idea...And I was always somewhat curious about why we hear about polygymy but not This,,
Now I must pack......off to Nepal!!!!...
More soon...let the dicussion continue,,,I will contine to particpate via laptop.
(Ps might richard gere be there?,,and would he...of well you get my drift) | |

Posted: 2/10/2007 5:32:34 AM | There is a town in BC I think that has a family where the One man has several wives. I think he has kids in the double didgits too. If I remember the story each wife has their night and they all work together in the home and I think they have a small farm too...
Anyway, I don't think it would be much different. I think it is a mind set more than anything. it's probably similar to Hutterites in that it is more of a communal living where everyone would work for the benifit of the colony or family.
Though I think the lack of technology as far as our culture (not farm equipmnt) keeps them in the dark... so to speak... and in line. | |

Posted: 2/10/2007 5:43:29 AM | polyandry can be quite suitable for some people...it's not just mormans and people in africa that practice it....
Many people practice polyamourous relationships and it works well...
Me personally no not yet but it is intriguing to say the least.... | |

Posted: 2/10/2007 7:28:43 AM | Did look around.... There are threads about polyamory..not polyANDRY specifically..
In Fact,, Polyandry hardly ever gets mentioned at all,even in the poly threads. | |

Well, sure.
First, you're in North America. Bisexuality among women is damn-near "acceptable" behavior nowadays. Bisexuality among men is accepted to mean "he's really gay and hasn't admitted it yet." So. Much more likely to find polyamorous relationships involving 2 (or more) women and one man than the other way around. Also, even without bisexuality as a factor (as among mormons) once again, you're going to find that it's the man who is supporting ALL of the wives. So they are putting up with the situation because it allows them to stay home and raise their children.
You're not likely to find a man who wants to work to support you, while husband #2 stays home to **** you. Good luck if you do find it, but I don't think it's very likely.
Now. If you want to support ME, I'll be happy to be one of your husbands. I won't get jealous, either, as long as my own bedroom is comfortable. | |

Posted: 2/10/2007 9:55:44 AM | Polyandry is one woman who is having a relationship with all the men..But the men aren't with each other...as such bi-sexuality isn't part of it.
In fact, in many polygamy relationships most of the women Do work outside the home. It is usually not a case of one man supporting 5 women and 15 children.
The women who are in it say they enjoy having the community of it,,help with thier kids
and and living with an "extended family"..
Thank you for your kind offer!! If I do opt for polynadry..( heheheh ) I am sure my many husbands would be around my age..I have a cut off as to how much younger I will date. | |

Posted: 2/10/2007 11:13:48 AM | I believe we all have the capacity to love multiple people at the same time, but I don't think a poly relationship would work for me...I am sexually active with other men and women but one of our boundaries is that it is just sex. I am curious about those that do have these marriages, it sounds like a complicated scenario....and I wonder how they keep it going with so many people involved?

where many men, usually brothers, marry a single woman.
This takes place so that only one set of children will inherit the land. | |

Posted: 9/23/2007 9:07:28 AM | I known people in a variety of group relationships and, without making any value judgements, I can make a generalization:
Polyandry is much likelier to work (in the long term) than polygamy. The reason is, that women tend to be a lot more prone to jealousy than men. As long as mens needs are being met, they are pretty happy. Not so with women--they never stop competing with each other or being jealous.
I know this is a pretty broad generalization, and will probably get me flamed. :-) Just what I have witnessed. | |

Posted: 9/23/2007 3:01:43 PM | Im in a poly relationship. I am a married woman with a g/f.... It works well for me. I have a little bit of everything that I need. My g/f is longdistance right now but we are moving back to the city where she lives and were we are org from! My g/f is cool with it and loves the relatoisnhip we have. My hubby is happy to have someone to distract my high sex drive once and awhile. lol......
ITs not for everyone... and if your a jealous person it wouldnt be for you. I would not be ok with my hubby being with someone else and maybe that sounds selfish of me ... but he doesnt want to be with anyone else... he has me and my g/f to drive him crazy enough the way it is!! lol! | |
