Plural marriage

How do you all feel about having more than one spouse? Could you live that lifestyle? Do you think the economic benefits of having more than 2 paychecks per household could cancel out the jealousy factor that could sometimes be involved with this type of relationship?

Hmm.. I don't think I could live a polyamorous lifestyle myself. It would be cool to have more paychecks coming in, but I think someone would inevitably be unhappy at some point.
On another note.. I wonder if it's common or legal anywhere for a woman to have multiple husbands?

Me too. That's the only way I could do it. I wouldn't want to be one of many wives but having 3 or 4 husbands would be cool.

Hell yeah! The only thing that may be problematic is paternity if you decide to have children.

It's popular practice with the Mormons in Utah but I don't think it's legal. They also marry young girls sometimes and sisters are often married to the same, usually much older man. That registers as icky to me. I wouldn't want it that way and there could be no form of organized religion involved in my perfect scenario.

I've been married and that one husband was more than enough for me! It's easier to take care of couple of kids than one of those creatures. But if it was such marriage that they would live in their own households, cook their own foods and wash their own clothes, I could of course have maybe 3-4 husbands

Keep loving one another

I sometimes think it could be cool if I found a few good guys and they all got along great. With all our salaries combined we could live like royalty and if everyone involved was respectful of each others boundaries and shared in the household responsibilities then life could be rather easy and exciting. I know it's not legal but that could work to our advantage as well. Since the marriage would never be recognized on paper it would make getting out of it pretty easy in the case of things not working out. Plus, if we never actually had a ceremony then technically we broke no laws.

I remember I had a teacher who talked about this once. She said that pretty much the only society where that happens is this one tribe that lives at the base of the himalayans. Apparently the reason is because they have a shortage of land to pass down to younger generations, so this way, they let three guys or whatever marry one daughter, then they all share the same piece of land.

Wow that's interesting. Do you remember the name of the tribe? I'd like to read more about it and how it works out for them.

I could definitely get used to having a bunch of different wives, especially if they were open to us all having sex at once.
But I'd prefer a single partner, much less to worry about that way.

If everyone got tested first and no one had sex with anyone from outside of the marriage there would be alot less to worry about. I think it could work providing the right people were involved.

Yeah, it could be a pretty good situation for everyone. It would help financially, you have a lot of different genetic options for your offspring, there would be less work to be done around the house with 3 or 4 wives.
Plus, like I said, basically orgies.

I was thinking about this the other day and I can't see why polygamy is illegal. I mean, a lot people have children with a multiple partners, only they are all separated and make things harder on one another. At least in a polygamist relationship everyone helps out to make the unit stronger. I was thinking I could use another wife myself, not for the sexual aspect of things, but just to have another set of hands that could clean the house up I don't even care for the extra paycheck.. I just want the dishes and laundry to be clean 
I guess what I would really like is just a community of people on the same wavelength that would help one another out..
anyone up for a shroomery homestead community?

I don't remember their name, or much else about them. But I think one key thing that would help it work for them is just the fact that it's considered normal for them, and it's what is expected. I'm sure there are some problems and arguments, but since they don't have much of an option, I would imagine that they generaly make it work. People are known to put up with all sorts of shit when it's considered normal.
