If polygamy was legal and socially permitted would you have more than one wife?

Nae, I'm into polyamory but not BDSM or kink. (Nothing against it; it just doesn't interest me.)

And I haven't found any particular luck in finding a gay polyamory forum worth anything...


From what I'm told there are dedicated polyamory groups on fetlife.

Hell, I bet there's even a fucking knitting circle and a scrap booking *insert vomit noises here* groups.

The name fetlife might be just a little misleading. :rolleyes:

knitting is the shit!!!!
*throws fits and balls of yarn*

and you can stab people with knitting needles.
the ability to kill with your hobby makes any hobby that much cooler.

OT - i've been in triads, clans and a group of like minded horny people.
wasn't much different from monogamy.
always working a balance of compromise, respect and finding your own space.

haven't really felt the urge to have the state validate any of my relationships.. so.. urm, no? polygamy isn't something i partake of.

Knitting is ok but scrap booking makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a soup spoon.

Who knew the other side to knitting??? :)

I think the two men, one woman relationship appealing. But only if, like you say, their is a balance.

Two men and one woman would be my ideal.

Not two dyads, but a real threesome, sleeping together in a king-size bed.

My wife and I lived that way with a guy for about three years, and it was great while it lasted. I would love to find the right guy for a similar menage, but my wife is not up for it again.

See? This is the scary part of a menage to me. I mean, if you love both of your partners, when one leaves, you both must feel the absence. You can't simply fill the void with just anyone, not in my way of thinking/ideal of this kind of relationship.

convert to Islam and move to the middle east and you can have up to four

I once asked my Moslem friend about this. He lives in a country where he can legally have up to 4 wives. His response was that he cannot stand the idea of 4 mothers-in-law!

maybe in my 30's but now, no. I'm almost 60, my wife is post-menopausal, and I can't imagine having 2 post-menopausal women running around in my life

What saddens me is that so many seem to think polygamy.....polygyny and polyandry are only about sex. It's much more than that.

Perhaps that is where the trouble comes in, people think it's just about sex and not about a loving relationship.

It's strange how many think the idea of a man having several women on the side as mistresses or women having some men on the side is all okay but as soon as the idea of marriage is put in the equation people decide it's skeevy and wrong.

Polygamy is about loving relationships.

Why does your wife's (or wives') menopausal state affect your answer? :confused:


As to the OP: I can imagine being happy with more than one SO, but certainly not living with them full time.

I'm post-menopausal, There is nothing negative about it for me. I'm in the best mental and physical shape of my life right now. My sex drive is insatiable. I started a blog on polyamory mentioned in my signature link here. Feel free to read what we are doing and why.
