Default Polygamy

Polygamy is permitted in some countries. Could you see yourself in a marriage where you weren't the only woman? I couldn't. I don't understand how any of the women could even tolerate being in such an arrangement willingly.

I'm completely fine with others doing it, but I don't want anything to do with it. I can't imagine sharing the one I love with others and me doing the same. It would freak me out, and I know I would regret it later on. Do you think those people feel bad or regret ever doing it? Who do you think is most likely to want to do it, men or women? I feel that maybe one person loves the other and so they do it because they want to make them happy

Me neither! I would never ever want my partner to spend a night with someone else! I would rather be single forever than share a partner with anybody.

I've always felt that polygamy was sexist, as it always seemed to me that the male's sexual prowess is emphasized whereas women were neglected and could be very easily replaced. Women in a polygamous marriage had to compete for the male's attention.

No way. If I am not enough for the man, he can get out of my life and waste his with all the women he wants. Period. I am a one-man woman, no cheating-flirting, and I expect the same from my man.

I think even if someone is okay with it, people are going to get hurt in the end, at least in most cases. I'm trying to understand what it would be like to want to do that, and I'm not sure I do.

Do the people say 'okay', because they feel pressured or they're insecure and want to keep their significant other, so they're doing it to make em happy?

Or, are they so lustful that they think it would be a good idea so they don't get bored in the relationship?

What do you guys think?

I don't have anything against the Mormon faith, but I can't understand why women will agree to do that. It makes me uncomfortable to think about what the women and children must go through because the dad or husband wants to live his life with lots of different women.
