Polygamy wouldn't work for me, personally, but I really don't care if people practice it. Why do people have to get up each others' asses over things that aren't hurting them?
@ummabdurrahm The reality is most men and women have slept with more than 1 person in their lifetime. As long as you practice safe sex then theres no real harm.
@himmis4all both a relative and a 2nd wife can take care of a sick woman. MsSkippy was giving 1 benefit to having a second wife. She was not saying that's the only reason for a 2nd wife.
Our society accepts that men are going to sleep with other women, they have child support laws to let men know to financially take care of their children or even visitation rights. But it is much more healthy for a child to have a two parent home, so if polygamy were in to play children can have their mother and father together.
This is not polygamy (many marriages), it is more precise to call it polygyny (many women). Or monoandry (only one man), as I call it. Polygyny is about denying women the privilege to have several spouses. Almost like monogamy, with other words, just unfair. Polygyny might be a nice substitute when you are in lack of a good welfare state, but I think that when you are so conservative that women can't work, it could have been nice to have several husbands, so more money! :D
I don't really want any men in me at all, but that is not the point. Some do, and that's cool, and they should have the right to do that. I don't want any man in me (being a person that is attracted to females almost exclusively), but try to tell me I can't, and I'll fight you! I have the right to, and I will defend that right with my life.
If this woman thinks that the american dream, is lying in bed, while her husband is down the hall having sex with another woman, she really needs help. I work, my wife takes care of our children, and we have sex with each other.......that is the american dream!
im not gay or pro-gay.... I believe if you asked these people about homosexual lifestyles, they would say it is wrong. and while 2 men cannot have expansion and growth the proponents of plural marriage, they could have a quality of life, doing good by adopting or surrogating a child. one thing I like about this lady is her awareness to the world around her, not closed in a closet like the Jeffs women. DONT JUDGE, let the polys poly... let the gays gay...let me MONO.let it be. dont rape kids.
If the people in our country were not afraid to be stabbed in the back within their normal family's as well as neighbors nobody would ever practice this. In china the governments greed keeps people from having more than one child unless they are rich. This is just one more problem in our world that should be stomped out.
I think you misunderstood, my statement was not against polygamy per se, but I am against a system that does not allow women the same civil rights as men.
If polygamy is to be allowed, then women should also be offered the same rights to take on multiple spouses. It does not matter whether any individual in particular exercises the full extent of their rights, (they can choose 0 spouses if they want!) but it is the fact that that option exists equally for all that matters.
It's good that you specified in your 2nd to last comment, that when the SYSTEM (religion, etc) reinforces unequal rights rather than an individual. I say this because there may be a situation where a wife agreed with her husband to bring in other women to be wives, but then she later wants to bring in another man and the husband disagrees. This is not a practice of unequal rights by the husband becuz equal rights should be dependent on rights that are good or at least most fair.
You don't want to create a condition where someone UNiLATERALLY decides to bring in other partners without the consent of ALL adults involved. Otherwise, not everyone is getting the spouse or polygamy they want and that would inevitably lead to friction and deteriorate the relationship. In this case, equal rights should be dependent on ALL spouses having a say and being able to act on the choice when ALL spouses agree. Of course, there's always the option to divorce and remarry.
No matter how you whitewash it, a system that reinforces the idea that Women cannot have the same civil rights as Men (in this case, to take multiple spouses) just doesn't sit right with me.
It has no place in a modern society. Everyone should be given the same opportunities.
If a woman wants multiple spouses then just don't be a Mormon or stay in monogamy. But some women want other wives and don't want other husbands, so in this case there is no double standard since the wives would be getting what they want. Under that scenario, your logic does not apply so the polygamy should not be denied to women who with their husband want wives ONLY.
People should not look at Mormonism as being all that polygamy is. Polygamy is NOT a Mormon invention but the Mormons used polygamy. By definition all polygamy involves is having multiple spouses. How it's practiced can vary and no religion is needed. It can be 3 guys, 3 girls, or a mix between.
"plural marriage allows division of the labour so that some can stay home and others go to work"... ummm... the same thing happens in PROPER 1 on 1 marriages. Has she kinda forgotten the whole stereotypical old fashioned housewife who stays home with the kid/s while the husband goes to work? That's how it worked for centuries.
All very well said! Polygamy is many times old men wanting many wives. But it is also men being perverts.
They force the - women - who live with them to commit adultery. They cannot claim more than one wife, that is bigamy or polygamy, which is illegal and immoral.
How can one man provide for all the needs of many "wives" and children. They must apply for welfare to manage?
I know a lot of women. I read a lot of books. I watch t.v.. I am from a very large family, 6 sisters, 2 brothers, many Aunts, Uncles cousins. to the tune of 106 of us with cousins and second cousins included.
In all the "REAL STORIES" of marriage I hear and witness - it seems not many men have enough time for even one wife and children, let alone more. They work, fish, hunt, or golf etc too.
Do these women ever think about the fact that through their husband, they're sharing their "sister wives" bodily fluids and that this increases the risk of cancer? Disgusting!
It is immoral for a married man to have sex with anyone other than his WIFE. Not wives, not extra girlfriends that you had a fake ceremony with... ONE. WIFE. Her excuses are bizarre. Isn't one wife with 1-2 kids in a better position as 3 "sister wives" with 15 kids????
Having one wife only became the normal behavior in the northern hemisphere based upon survival strategies in cold countries. It was just a lot easier to survive as human beings in cold countries with one wife and few children. This was part of the culture in the northern hemisphere due to geography and climates not due to moral principals, it's just easier to survive like that. But due to different conditions in hot countries it was normal for a man to take more than one wife.
Let my husband ask me about polygamy. I'll say sure honey, on one condition. Let me see you all having sex together. I'll gone get it all on tape one night, and take it to court and leave his **s high and bone dry. Enjoy that fool girlfriend, he's all yours honey.
I bet feminazis would tear this honest woman limb from limb. I am an atheist and therefore have no use for polygamist religion, but as a strong believer in personal choice and individual liberties--something that Liberals all too often oppose, despite what they call themselves--I respect this woman, not only for choosing a lifestyle that best meets her and her children's needs, but also for having the courage to share the facts which support and lend credence to her chosen lifestyle.
back @ fordv8guy.. u dont even knkow me but u want to judge me and call me pedophile. i have 3 sons bro and thats nasty and against the creators law. u need to grow up. polygyny i the creators law hate or love it but its on u. musch love and balance all the time.
SHUNANAGINS! The FLDS leaders do not believe in teaching their members modern education. The poor people all have 8th grade educations if that. This woman is deceiving us. It's all about SEX WITH CHILDREN. YOU SHOULD NOT HAVE SEX WITH A CHILD!
I've been extensively researching polygamy recently, and the more I learn about the practice, the harder it is to remain purely objective about it. Even if the relationship between husband and wives is modern, with no fundamentalist abuse involved, the bottom line is that daughters in the relationships are being taught that they need to share a man's love with other women.
Whitewash it all you want, but that is still a form of abuse in polygamy.
@yetmandynasty Dude, if you think you're God then I hope you enjoy hell, because that's right where you're going! You destroy peoples lives, so that you can orgasm on a ton of girls/ probably boys too. Has anyone ever called you selfish before? You know you're all living in horrible sin where you are, don't you? I hope you understand that. If Heavenly Father starts the entire world burning tonight, I think we all know who to blame. Stop pissing off your maker!
The average polygamy family takes in 8 dollars in taxes, for every 1 dollar they pay, according to government records. All these wives file for welfare separately and BLEED THE BEAST. Thats wellfare fraud. They can have all the wives and kids they want. Just quit begging off the American Tax Payer. Im amused when I go shopping in Salt Lake and a Mormon Mother with five kids and one on the way is paying for her food with FOOD STAMPS. You Pay for their welfare healthcare.
I have no problem if women want ot fullfil a mans fantacy, as if there is a shortage of men. The problem I have is they creat huge families they can not afford, them BLEED THE BEAST, for support, apply separately for every gov welfare progam.cheat the tax payer. Studies have shown that for every 1 dollar in taxes they pay, they take in 8 dollars. This makes them a parasite on this country, and a burden on the communities around them, and there attitude is they deserve us paying for there kids.
from a Jewish perspective Deut 25.v.5 describes a brothers dutyDeut 21 v 15-17 Jesus said he wasn't chang the lawMatt 5 17-20We are supposed to keep the law as the same Read Isaiah ch 4 . I will not ever say anything that G-d said is Heresy.Polygany is bad only when it is abused. Let G-d who understands equal be my judge
@msskippy7781 : I respect your faith, however, polygamy is associated with adverse effects on women and children who are involved, read the medical literature on the topic - author : Al - Krenawi and others - do a Medline search to see for yourself. Polygamy is not compulsory in Judaism, and is not medically advisable.
You don't need a co - wife to provide the services you are receiving, other family members could provide it.
My freind, this world is a testing ground weather we pass the test depends on our experience in the situationIf a person is faced with....say jealousy we learn that this world does not revolve around us do we not become a better person. A family is stronger when they learn to work together and compromise.Not everyone should practice polygany but for some it is right.
Folks, there are many articles regarding the effect of polygyny (multiple wives - one men) on women and children - and they are negative. Review the articles written by Alean Al - Krenawi on the topic of the effect of polygamy on women and children. Your eyes will be opened.
i think people should be able to do as they choose - as long as its mutual consent, regardless of sexuality or family structure. as long as the children are shown love and are able to thrive, thats what counts
if homosexuals can get married then CONSENTING ADULTS should be free to practice polygamy if they so chose. They should not have to hide their lifestyle for fear of govnt intervention in the form of takeing their children
You agree with polygamy is only the man with many wives. but also on polyamy a women married to many men? I wonder how you ego will deal with the fact that you women is sleeping and enjoying herself with another men, whyle you in the other room. I guess you face would not look happy.
homosexuals are something else then polygamy. These people are polygamy because of religious motive. Homosexuals choose love. Facts are that love cannot expressed in polygamy, women life in an authoritian setup if they.The men decides and after that the favourite wife. Studies shows that physical and mental health deminisch for women and childeren. Homo is 2 persons and love. Polygamy are several and love isn't possible. No one can spread his love over 2 person equaly.
I think this video brings out interesting points of child care.Being handicapped I qualify for public assistance. I don"t need it. I have a sister wife. It is different but not wrong. Our children will not be fatherless.Just as important our fathers will not be childless either. Have you been really sick in bed? My sister wife brings chicken soup and runs a hot bath and takes care of the house.I do the same for her.Polygamy in and of it'self is a good thing.I don't want the govt. to define famiy
@msskippy7781 : You don't need a sister wife to do that for you. My sister, or my mother could provide child care for my family, or help around the house, or they could help my husband. They don't need to sleep with my husband to do it for me.
There is just not enough room here.LOL!!!I am a Jew. Polygany is part of my heritage. Polygany is not something you have to do . You don't get brownie points. It is not forced.There is no one flesh theory.You are not allowed to abuse your wife or children.boys are not turned out at a young age.
@himmis4all Under normal circumstances I would agree with you. Having family support is of the up most importance in a healthy relationship of a marriage. However, and unfortunately not every family is as supportive as yours. Other families do not help at all nor get along. One quick example is the absent father i.e. she was good enough for sex but not good enough to mary the girl kind of guy. So, yes, ideally what you say is correct and desirable. Sadly we do not live in an ideal world.
@mrgees100peas : I don't need a woman to sleep with my husband in order to have help with children or housework. Housework and child rearing is not my sole responsibility, and maids / babysitters are cheaper than extra wives in the long run.
Polygyny is simply religiously sanctioned adultery for men. That's all.
don't be silly!! ALL religions were invented by SOMEBODY!!! certain beliefs, regardless of religion, had to come from somewhere; religions don't just pop out of the ground!!
I wonder what state this church is in and what sect it is. I have come across polygamous people who aren't like the compound in Texas. They live in the world, don't marry teens, etc. And I have to agree - as a single working mom, I go through hell trying to make sure my kids aren't getting into trouble while I'm at work. My ex and the children's birth mother do not help with the children. But I'm not looking toward polygamy to solve my problems. With my faith in God, I can do it.
once upon a time polygamy was outlawed and made illigal primarily because of the catholic church's influence. I don't know why the catholic church has a say in anything. They've already spent their credibility . Every other bibilical scripture and in the history of every country around the world polygamy exsisted until the rise of the roman catholic church which started brain washing people. They're washing people now in latin america and brazil not to use birth control
She makes it sound like parents who work should feel guilty for not staying at home with their 2108312390 kids. It's called birth control, and some people enjoy their career and don't want to be shut-ins at home 24/7.
Other than that, I agree that consenting adults who choose to live polygamous lifestyles should be allowed to. I don't think it should be legalized, but maybe decriminalized. As long as they aren't coercing or brainwashing young girls into marriage with hairy fat old "prophets".
I think that as long as what you are doing does not infringe on anyone else, you should be able to do what you want. Whoever is okay with (insert anything here) should be able to do it.
I thing pederasty is dispicable and laws preventing such behaviour should be strictly enforced. As far as teen sex, I don't know of any laws preventing that.
@ZEROEVILDARKCOOL Children do not have the right to give consent because they are children. If a child gives consent to have sex with an adult man, does that make it okay? No, it's statutory rape and child molestation because children are too young to understand these concepts to be able to give consent to them.
ah, nice to see women speaking out on this. the modern monogamous nuclear family is control, because the state can more easily control them. the polygamist family tree is empowerment and autonomy. but most people are too programmed by mainstream media/religion to see this.
polygamist family tree is full of nothing but incest, its only a few families sharing children and genes. The children are programmed just like every other cult there is no autonomy ..automatons maybe. people like treeoflife2010 are just to stupid to understand genetics and psychology. All they can do is parrot that tired old line about media/religion influencing everyone else. The exact same line used prevent people from stopping the mass suicide of Jim Jones' Temple.
The kids fathers can't even name them all, childcare is viewed as woman's work, the men have never changed a diaper in their lives, they have never once stayed up walking the floor with a sick child, he won't even think twice about throwing a male child out in the street if there are not enough females to go around. Not 1 of them would marry an old woman that needed a place to live, they only want young women, so it is about sex and not the number of women, or they would be crusing nursing homes
wow, could you possibly make a more blanket statement? your mind is a product of media programming. you have no idea of what you speak. turn off your tv and take back your thought.
I haven't watched TV in decades, you are just not bright enough to make any arguments in defense of your assertions. All you can do is hurl the scurrilous charge of media brainwashing at every single topic. Read a book or 2, try a few semesters in college anything to help you change that pathetic mantra that you keep chanting. It is a fallacious argument, the appeal to ridicule and it is used when you haven't a clue about the topic at hand.
I believe this is a civil liberties issue. I think if consenting people want to live a polygomous lifestyle they should have a right to. Laws need to be changed, including tax, welfare, and healthcare, but it should be done. I also don't limit this to just multiple women 1 man. It should include multiple men 1 woman. I think it's well past time that our govt stops telling people how to live their lives. It's really not a free country yet, but I hope it will be someday.
In response to funnrun there is and can only be one god, so how does it make sense to worship the only true god and think you will be a god? Why worship somrthing you believe you're going to be?
Islam Allows polygny when NECESSARY but limits it up to 3 wives. It's wired to think men can marry each other and women can do that and even marry Dogs in the name of "freedumb" but they prohibit polygny. what a strange western mind. In the west, men have dozens of paramours anyways.
The idea of Polygamy is in direct reference to Molecular Relationships. You can have molecules of Hydrogen and molecules of Oxygen.. if you put these two hydrogen molecules together with one molecule of oxygen.. you get something more than what you started with. But if it is not done right.. then it can be just as disastrous as a monogamous relationship. In a world where it is not acceptable.. it becomes harder for those practicing it. Personally.. I would not want it.
Because according to Mr. Young, You are going to Hell if you don't want it!
Brigham Young :"Now if any of you will deny the plurality of wives, and continue to do so, I promise that you will be damned," (Journal of Discourses, vol. 3, p. 266).
Also, "The only men who become Gods, even the Sons of God, are those who enter into polygamy," (Journal of Discourses, vol. 11, p. 269).
Ploygamy isn't all about sex and having it with multipul partners. People who do it because of their faith believe that this is something that will help them enter heaven, or is a God given right. It take a certain kind of man as well as woman to live that kind of lifestyle. He has to support all his wives and their children, he needs to be sound in a lot of areas. Polygamy isn't smething entered in lightly.
Alright, I get it. Point made. I suppose i've been too judgemental. However, I dont understand something. If it's a way to get into heaven, then can women take on many husbands? Or is the male that gets that responsibility?
64 And again, verily, verily, I say unto you, if any man have a wife, who holds the keys of this power, and he teaches unto her the law of my priesthood, as pertaining to these things, then shall she believe and administer unto him, or she shall be destroyed, saith the Lord your God; for I will destroy her;
You can have sex with one , while the other cleans the house, while the other Mows the lawn, while the other washes the car, while the other cooks dinner, while the other goes to work, while the other rests.
Yes and you somehow have to support all these sex machines and slaves that you call "wives" and their children on your measly one man salary. Good luck with that.
All sexual romantic, long term intended, committing relationships are sexual, hopefully, but "based" on sex... it gets very weird to describe relations as such. In my country we use the word "homophile" about gay people, and "homosexual" for those that only are sexually attracted to the same gender, not wanting to have relationships with them.
(Accidentaly posted that last one too early) ..Polygamy was invented by shovenist men who didn't want to feel guilty for having sex with multiple women. So, they hid behind religion.
Bu tyou can't use that as an excuse because those same "religous" men visit hookers without guilt. Polygamy is practiced all over the world, has been for a long, long time. It's a person's personal choice to live that lifestyle and how are we to judge them?
To many people, including me, the negative effects of polygamy far outweigh the "possitives" of it. No one can sit there and tell me that jealousy isn't a huge factor. Polygamy gives human nature WAY too much credit. Polygamy is something invented by shovenist men to have sex with as many women as possible
why do you keep repeating yourself? jealousy is in every relationship; freindship, between siblings, co-workers, even monogamous marriages... so your jealousy argument is null and void. and not ALL the men in poly relationships are in it for the sex; think about it!! if they just wanted sex, they could go to a prostitute! but they take care of these women, support them and their children financially, and take care of the wives for life! that's a lot of sacrifice just for sex!
I wish more people were informed by videos like these and paid attention to them videos then the ones portraying polygamy as some awful thing, tantamout to beastiality or paedophilia. Unfortunately, most people seem to prefer to believe the negative views of polygamy :(
poligamy is bad but the most wicked homosexuality is legal in california u people are crazy poligamy was before monogomy it was the gay pope that put in monogomy not god.
ok....how about those who want to have sex with underage children? Who believe in their heart that the age of consent should be 7-8? How about MBLA ?? Should we legitamize this contingent on this argument? Stupid scum!! U conver fools who never bother to really examine your scriptures vs. your lifestyles....
@wogsland Yet, I don't think it's the concept of polygamy, but the extreme religious background of fundamentalism that poses a problem. Now, polygamy is forbidden by law, which makes a huge difference. Their was a reason why it has been forbidden. To many children, heavy problems among the wives and totally overstrained husbands. Her arguments are interesting, but sadly not conform with the truth.
@reuscmar Since nearly 50% of American marriages end in divorce I'd say the current legal structure is a complete failure. It's time to take back the power to define marriage from the government! And I definitely don't want our government involved in deciding what religions are too "extreme".
I love this video great video. Nice way in bringing certain points across and very positive. I love to experience that kind of love.

It is immoral for a married man to have sex with anyone other than his WIFE. Not wives, not extra girlfriends that you had a fake ceremony with... ONE. WIFE. Her excuses are bizarre. Isn't one wife with 1-2 kids in a better position as 3 "sister wives" with 15 kids????

Having one wife only became the normal behavior in the northern hemisphere based upon survival strategies in cold countries. It was just a lot easier to survive as human beings in cold countries with one wife and few children. This was part of the culture in the northern hemisphere due to geography and climates not due to moral principals, it's just easier to survive like that. But due to different conditions in hot countries it was normal for a man to take more than one wife.

Let my husband ask me about polygamy. I'll say sure honey, on one condition. Let me see you all having sex together. I'll gone get it all on tape one night, and take it to court and leave his **s high and bone dry. Enjoy that fool girlfriend, he's all yours honey.

I bet feminazis would tear this honest woman limb from limb. I am an atheist and therefore have no use for polygamist religion, but as a strong believer in personal choice and individual liberties--something that Liberals all too often oppose, despite what they call themselves--I respect this woman, not only for choosing a lifestyle that best meets her and her children's needs, but also for having the courage to share the facts which support and lend credence to her chosen lifestyle.

I've been extensively researching polygamy recently, and the more I learn about the practice, the harder it is to remain purely objective about it. Even if the relationship between husband and wives is modern, with no fundamentalist abuse involved, the bottom line is that daughters in the relationships are being taught that they need to share a man's love with other women.
Whitewash it all you want, but that is still a form of abuse in polygamy.

The average polygamy family takes in 8 dollars in taxes, for every 1 dollar they pay, according to government records. All these wives file for welfare separately and BLEED THE BEAST. Thats wellfare fraud. They can have all the wives and kids they want. Just quit begging off the American Tax Payer. Im amused when I go shopping in Salt Lake and a Mormon Mother with five kids and one on the way is paying for her food with FOOD STAMPS. You Pay for their welfare healthcare.

I have no problem if women want ot fullfil a mans fantacy, as if there is a shortage of men. The problem I have is they creat huge families they can not afford, them BLEED THE BEAST, for support, apply separately for every gov welfare progam.cheat the tax payer. Studies have shown that for every 1 dollar in taxes they pay, they take in 8 dollars. This makes them a parasite on this country, and a burden on the communities around them, and there attitude is they deserve us paying for there kids.

@msskippy7781 : I respect your faith, however, polygamy is associated with adverse effects on women and children who are involved, read the medical literature on the topic - author : Al - Krenawi and others - do a Medline search to see for yourself. Polygamy is not compulsory in Judaism, and is not medically advisable.
You don't need a co - wife to provide the services you are receiving, other family members could provide it.

homosexuals are something else then polygamy. These people are polygamy because of religious motive. Homosexuals choose love. Facts are that love cannot expressed in polygamy, women life in an authoritian setup if they.The men decides and after that the favourite wife. Studies shows that physical and mental health deminisch for women and childeren. Homo is 2 persons and love. Polygamy are several and love isn't possible. No one can spread his love over 2 person equaly.

@himmis4all Under normal circumstances I would agree with you. Having family support is of the up most importance in a healthy relationship of a marriage. However, and unfortunately not every family is as supportive as yours. Other families do not help at all nor get along. One quick example is the absent father i.e. she was good enough for sex but not good enough to mary the girl kind of guy. So, yes, ideally what you say is correct and desirable. Sadly we do not live in an ideal world.

She makes it sound like parents who work should feel guilty for not staying at home with their 2108312390 kids. It's called birth control, and some people enjoy their career and don't want to be shut-ins at home 24/7.
Other than that, I agree that consenting adults who choose to live polygamous lifestyles should be allowed to. I don't think it should be legalized, but maybe decriminalized. As long as they aren't coercing or brainwashing young girls into marriage with hairy fat old "prophets".

The kids fathers can't even name them all, childcare is viewed as woman's work, the men have never changed a diaper in their lives, they have never once stayed up walking the floor with a sick child, he won't even think twice about throwing a male child out in the street if there are not enough females to go around. Not 1 of them would marry an old woman that needed a place to live, they only want young women, so it is about sex and not the number of women, or they would be crusing nursing homes

I believe this is a civil liberties issue. I think if consenting people want to live a polygomous lifestyle they should have a right to. Laws need to be changed, including tax, welfare, and healthcare, but it should be done. I also don't limit this to just multiple women 1 man. It should include multiple men 1 woman. I think it's well past time that our govt stops telling people how to live their lives. It's really not a free country yet, but I hope it will be someday.

The idea of Polygamy is in direct reference to Molecular Relationships. You can have molecules of Hydrogen and molecules of Oxygen.. if you put these two hydrogen molecules together with one molecule of oxygen.. you get something more than what you started with. But if it is not done right.. then it can be just as disastrous as a monogamous relationship. In a world where it is not acceptable.. it becomes harder for those practicing it. Personally.. I would not want it.

Ploygamy isn't all about sex and having it with multipul partners. People who do it because of their faith believe that this is something that will help them enter heaven, or is a God given right. It take a certain kind of man as well as woman to live that kind of lifestyle. He has to support all his wives and their children, he needs to be sound in a lot of areas.

All sexual romantic, long term intended, committing relationships are sexual, hopefully, but "based" on sex... it gets very weird to describe relations as such.

To many people, including me, the negative effects of polygamy far outweigh the "possitives" of it. No one can sit there and tell me that jealousy isn't a huge factor.

whiteclaudia9 3 years ago
why do you keep repeating yourself? jealousy is in every relationship; freindship, between siblings, co-workers, even monogamous marriages... so your jealousy argument is null and void. and not ALL the men in poly relationships are in it for the sex; think about it!! if they just wanted sex, they could go to a prostitute! but they take care of these women, support them and their children financially, and take care of the wives for life! that's a lot of sacrifice just for sex!

@wogsland Yet, I don't think it's the concept of polygamy, but the extreme religious background of fundamentalism that poses a problem.
