I know its hard enough just dealing with one partner, but could you see yourself having several life mates and do you feel you would be any happier or satisfied?

would it be something you would ever consider if given the opportunity?

how many would be enough if you could?

I can see some positives.

If you got annoyed with one husband, you could just banish him to another part of the house for a few days and spend time with the husbands that you liked better for a while. There would always be someone around to kill spiders and check that doors are locked at night.

But...I would be nervous that they would swap stories/compare notes. And who gets the remote? You'd need a big house and lots of TVs or there would end up being a death.

Personally I believe that its very difficult to achieve real intimacy with one person if you share yourself physically or emotionally. I'm sure that content polygamists all over the world would disagree with me.

You should check out the trainwreck of a show called "Sister Wives" on the US Channel TLC, you might be able to go to the website and see some clips. I first saw the show and thought OMG...and it's like so bizarre you can't help but watch...rolling on the floor laughing

well as an artist i had always imagined my mates were also artists and musicians and we all lived lovingly in harmony together, creating and entertaining one another and frolicking like children. everyone selfless in their being as symbiont for the good of all.

I know its fantasy land but it sure was a beautiful dream grin

rolling on the floor laughing That would be a nightmare!

In reply to the OP, no, if I want to be serious with a man then he is the only one for me, and I would expect vice versa.

It´s hard enough trying to establish and maintain a happy and fulfilling relationship with one person. Why make life even more difficult with multiple partners?

This arrangement is much more often adopted by men in some cultures. I wonder why? laugh

When it comes to a polygamous relationship, studies have found 3 to be the ideal number of mates - 2 would just gang up on you and you would be at their mercy. Whereas 3 would never agree on everything all of the time and turn against you,

They'll inevitably be 2 against 1 on different matters thus forcing the 1 left out to invariably turn to you for support. This will in turn tend to push at least 1 of the other 2 to re establish their alliances to get back in your favor (which will in turn change alliances and the whole dynamic of the group). Thus easier to keep a reasonable balance of sorts.
