Alright so I grew up in a place where polygamist's were common place. I was taught early on that that is wrong. You can't have more than one solemate, you can't love more than one person. To me it would be hard, because human nature is to get jealous. I mean we are all jealous. But I don't know that I think it is impossible. And I'm not technically meaning polygamist marriages, but rather mulitple people together, all at once. Each loving the other. For lack of a better term think of a threesome. What I want to know, is if you think this is possible; can three people have a relationship together? Can they Avoid jealousy? Do you think relationships like these should have legalized marriage?

I think people need to get their noses out of relationships that don't harm the unwilling.
if everone involved is above the age of consent, human, and happy with the multiple partner situation, who am I to fight against their lifestyle. it doesn't harm me, or anyone involved.
there's bigger issues in the world to worry abour.

Now thats a great answer. I wish more people viewed things with an open mind. Although I think All predjudices, no matter how minute, should be looked at and thought on. Just because it doesn't effect us, doesn't mean its unimportant and sometimes small, appearingly meaningless issues or opinions can effect alot. Think about where we would be today if everyone said that slavery didn't effect them, and so was of no importance.

That is a good point. Their views are the most important point on whether its wrong or right. But do you think that Society would also just agree that there was nothing wrong with it? Cause I can't see that people wouldn't have a problem with them flaunting that at a diner or a theatre on a date. I think people would react harshly and insultingly.

It's not a life I could personally live myself. I want one man to myself, and I can't imagine loving more than 1 man at a time and them being okay with it.
But, for those who are living that lifestyle, I think so long as they're okay with it and it was their choice to live like that, then let them be. It's really none of our business how other people live their lives, so long as they're not hurting anyone else.
The only thing I don't agree with when it comes to polygamy type groups is when I hear of someone being forced into that life who doesn't want it for themselves. It has to be their choice, and so long as it is.. then who am I to judge them? They aren't hurting me.

A polygamist compound is unique to say the least. I agree no one should be forced. But people sometimes are. I think also that this is something that people should look at and take interest in whether it effects them or not. I think that for our race to grow we have to let go of predjudices and learn to accept things we think are taboo. Think maybe if we were more accepting about things like plural marriages, and people willingly went into them, then those that choose that life style might be able to not have to force anyone unwilling into it. You know, they'd have more options, and more candidates to choose from. hypothetically speaking of course

No, I do not think it is possible with no jealousy at all. And if anyone says otherwise, I think they are lying. And why is polyarmorous/polygamist relationships always one guy and multi-women? How come you never hear of those type of relationships with one women and multi-guys? Not that I agree with any of it, but how come it's (was) okay for a man but not a woman? Just a thought to ponder..

Well, I suppose it all depends on the people involved in the relationship and how they truly feel and what they really want... Polyamorous relationship would certainly not be something for ME, but if others want to have that lifestyle, why not?
