@BornBW It's great that you're happy with your three way. Are your female partners as happy as you are? This guy is happy because he wanted two MARRIAGES, two RELATIONSHIPS, not a lifelong three way. He would probably be sickened by your arrangement, and you have the audacity to call his lifestyle choice into question? These are both beautiful women, and no one gives a crap that you think you're partners are are "hotter" than they are. Get over yourself.

[BornBW]

He switches rooms? haha. I have 2 women that sleep in my bed every night and both are hotter than these 2. You think he has it made? One is my wife legally the other joined later but pretty much same ordeal. There is no separate rooms though.

Its not a religion... It's a life style choice... If you study ancient cultures, history and the Holy Bible you'll find that multiple wives as always been the practice its just modern society that frowns on upon it yet they nod their heads and approve of homosexuals... FYI there is also evidence that homosexuals were not accepted in ancient culture.

it's a religion and it's their belief. what gives anyone the right to say it's wrong? noone is being harmed and they are consenting adults so it's their choice. even w/ warren jeffs making a mockery of their faith, all religions have a public figure doing the same thing

Have people ever considered that it's possible for 2 different people (like the 2 wives in this video) to be attracted to the same guy. And what happens if those 2 different people are open to poly? Why must a man choose when he can have both?

[PolyPride3]

If these women want 25 kids or lots of kids as it seems in this video, then that is a very challenging situation. Multiple wives would help but then again so would multiple housekeepers. Either way would work just as long as choice and no abuse is involved.

Jmmlk1987..

It's only a double standard if the women actually want multiple husbands and if they didn't want multiple wives. It could be that these women don't want multiple husbands and instead they want multiple wives. Nothing wrong with that just as long as everyone is getting what they want instead of people telling them what they should want.

jmmlk,

You seem to object to the wife allowing her husband to have sex with another woman. Morals vary from person to person but in my view it's moral for a husband to have sex with the other woman who is also his wife and not just any woman. This is all done in honesty and that's how the relationship works.

@jmmlk1987

I don't see any evidence that these women wanted polygamy because of fear of life's challenges. Even if that was the case, I don't see marrying as being wrong just as long as they are getting love, support, and happiness in the process like this family it seems. Would you think it is wrong for a single mother to want to get married IN PART because she doesn't want to go through life alone and it's too hard on her?

this is why i love bisexual women.
