Unconventional polygamy?

Post Reply New Topic

It does'nt matter. Both are wrong. Both lead to violence.

But don't let people who misspell fairly simple words misspell fairly simple words...

The important part is the MEANING, not the spelling. Everybody has the right to join in the debate, and it is unreasonable to discount their views on a linguistic technicality. Ok it might be a problem if something doesn't make sense at all, but a certain amount of tolerance is needed on a site where not everyone speaks English as their first language and some people may have conditions such as dyslexia.

If you wish to debate spelling, join a specialist language forum!

Meh, I just know I would never allow myself to get involved for the exact reasons that scrapheap put forth. I don't want to share a woman and to do so would lead to problems with jealousy. It is very difficult to keep multiple partners equally satisfied and if one seems to be more favored than another major jealousy issues develope.

Picky. Assume that she's giving sex about every third day, which is less than average. If she has three husbands, you get sex every 9 days. I don't know about you, but for me, sex every 9 days sounds good enough.

lets get this over with already.

no one else has a problem with the first reading as if it sounds like Biz as in business?

fine.
how then IS it spelt (yes) so I can avoid another 10 "she spells abbriviated bisexual wrong".

I'd hate to think that something in my opinion offended Yupa.


I'm not going to play spell checker for anyone.

Again,
seriously....

Back to Aspie women with multiple Aspie male mates.

If she was a home-wife she would be ultimately provided for

Since men decide the sex of the fetus (true?) there would be one less chance that she is dumped for lack of male offspring, because there would be a greater chance she would produce a ratio of males.

The kids would have 2 or more 'dads'

She would never lack for want of sex?

...

I think a better option would be to do the right thing and identify the missing aspie girls slipping through societies cracks.

Yep, men decide, every fetus has an X chromosome, derived from the mother.
From the father, they can get either an X chromosome and therefore have XX (girl) or a Y chromosme, giving them XY.

Polygamy in mating (not marriage) is an advantage for the species when it is trying to increase the population and maintain genetic diversity. (Keep those female pregnant 24-7!! !) With our current out-of-control population, polygamy (or more accuratly, promiscuity) is the opposite of neccessary.

Yes I am. It is after all better to die on your feet than live on your knees. To do something like this just seems like a massive compromise of everything, it is to finally admit to myself utter desperation and that is something I could not accept from myself. It is better to lie to myself every night and accept being an eternal virgin than to accept that I am inferior to the average NT and have to share a woman to get any. As well, it ignores the nature of my personality anyway, I tend to prefer 1 on 1 conversations to ones with multiple people and to share a woman would reduce my capability of receiving something like that. It leads to the question of whether it is better to live an empty life and not know it/refuse to admit it and bury myself in the other aspects of my life or to have slight fulfillment but live with the fact that most people have more and better things. I would prefer that aspect of me dead or ignored to something stirred from its slumber but still unsated.

WOW! that turned a little personal! Do you need to spend some time in the "Haven" Awsome??

TheGreyBadger is right, the correct term for what you are discussing is polyandry.

I saw a documentary that mentioned this once-- there is a remote society somewhere in asia (?? I think) that practices polyandry to increase the woman's chances of getting pregnant and having her and her offspring protected.

I wonder if China or India will start practicing polyandry as their male/female ratio is heavily slanted toward the male as pregnant women often abort female fetuses?

As far as it working out on WP, I'm not sure the men are willing to give women so much power, or if the women would even want it !

wiki quote:

Polygamy exists in three specific forms, including polygyny (one man having multiple wives), polyandry (one woman having multiple husbands), or group marriage (some combination of polygyny and polyandry). Historically, all three practices have been found, but polygyny is by far the most common.


Strictly speaking, polygamy is the group term for all three types.



Did anyone read about that fundamentalist mormon that just got arrested? He's the head of his particular sect, and when the previous head died(his father) he made a statment to the church saying to "keep off his fathers wifes", and then married all but 2 of the several dozen wifes within a week.

Turns your family into more of a community anyway xD

You know, now that I think of it, polyandry could be one way to slow down population growth (if indeed that is something that needs to be done). A man with three wives could have three babies each year. A woman with three husbands could, at the the most, have three babies in three years. If she breastfed each baby for a year, it would be three babies over about 6 years. So basically there would be one baby for each man, in this scenario. Even if the woman were willing to undergo a lot of pregnancies, there probably wouldn't be more than 2 babies per male.

This title is the unconventional form, i.e. wives having more than one husband.

It's odd, when people talk about polygamy tis' always one man many women or one woman many men.

What about bi-sexuals?
What about none-sexual polygamy?

What's wrong with many men, many women.

or one man who has three wife's (and a couple of mistresses) and two of those wife's also have other husbands and the third wife has a 'slave' on the side.

Personally I have a partner of 6.5 years whom I'm very happily engaged to. My 'best' friend, and also possibly my partners best friend is female and we have agreed that after my partner and myself are married were going to go somewhere like mongolia and get married. (she has a kind of on-off partner, who won't marry her. She's always considered me to be 'her man' as in the man she wants and has full respect for my partner, nothing that sexual happens since my partner is particularly put off by the thought of sex with a woman but if I had some desire she couldn't satisfy and my 'second wife' could I doubt she would have any problems with it.) I also have another extremely close female friend, who considers me to be her best friend and her to be my 'none sexual' mistress/. She considers me to be the man she wants to spend the rest of her life with, though she can't get over near repulsive nature of my physical appearance to her. When my partner isn't around and my 'second wife' is there always fighting over me.

Everyone's pretty cool with it, my 'second wife's' on-off partner and father of her child don't like it one bit, but has to put up and shut up, because he realises he;s always going to be second best. (I do leave them alone unless asked to come round etc... when they are together!)

If he were actually a decent bloke, instead of the kind of bloke who slaps women about I'd be quite happy to throw him into the mix as well.

I think if it were actually legal and more socially acceptable and we had the money we'd all be shacked up together.

Love isn't about sex, and nore is commitment. I consider my extremely close female partnerships as commitments on the level of marriage. Getting married is to show that commitment.

So I'm not actually taking more than my fair share of women out of the pool. I'm not cheating on my girlfriend everyone's happy and the love, support, commitment goes around.
