Polygamy vs Monogamy

this is just the definition of polyamory - while often polygamy is one man with a whole bunch of womyn

 

As I've stated in another similar thread,I'm a mahogany man myself...

 

Personally I would only be in a relationship that is monogamous. If that changed so would the relationship.

I have no issue with those who choose Polygamy and it should be recognized as legal unions.

 

same here - for now I just want to marry my fiance and be with her and her alone.

but other people can make their own choices, not my life, not my business

 

Monogomy all the way, woo~ Just the thought of the person I'm with engaging with someone else they have feelings for makes my heart sick. I couldn't do it. Cheating and lies are unforgivable, loyalty and trust means a lot to me in a relationship.

I can see how someone could be into pologomy though. Like only if the couple is honest with each other and tells them about said person. If stuff is going on behind the couple's backs and they're okay with it then that's kinda fucked up. Honesty is key.

 

wow thx didnt know that, i guess it's hard to devise something completely new in this field but i am glad to understand that other `weirdos` like me imagined the same thing :2thumbsup:

 

I have an open marriage and it works for us.

 

I think you are dead right - long-term monogamy can end up in a rut with familiarity and the couple taking each other for granted. Polyamory is both exciting, stimulating and teaches you/forces you to be alert to the other person/s, to their needs and desires and also to look to yourself.

And variety is a wonderful thing!

This made me giggle.

I remember the first time I asked my ex this question. I was reading an article about polygamy, I looked up and said "Polygamy. If you could, and if I were okay with it, how would you feel about having more than one girlfriend?"
He looked at me, somewhat pained, and said "Are you kidding me? One is enough!"

 

Goddamn! Just imagine your morning wood...

I'm in an 11-month long open relationship. Longest relationship I've had. So much for open 'doesn't work'.

 

I would never participate in polygamy. I think monogamy is complicated enough, but making more than one person emotionally satisfied would be heart-wrenchingly tiring... In college, I took a Human Sexuality Anthropology class study class where we learned a lot about polygamy.

Fact:
There are three types of polygamy.

Polyandry- one woman, multiple husbands
Polygyny- one man, multiple wives
Group Marriage- a sexual free for all made legal

Its pretty interesting stuff, but.... yeah.... I just want one husband. Its enough.
