I would just like to see the different views held by the different groups of people here as they are very diverse in their beliefs

I have absolutely nothing against people who can get a poly-amourous relationship to work. I know someone who's in a rather happy relationship with two guys who also quite like each other. It seems to work fine for them, so hey, why not?

Definitely requires something special, though.

I don't think there's anything wrong with polygamy, and I despise those who attempt to infringe rights by saying that we shouldn't be allowed to have more than one spouse.

It isnt right, it isn't wrong.
its a free choice someone has, and as long as everybody involved agrees, who gives a ****?

So long as all parties are in agreement I see nothing wrong with it.

I am not going to differ, if they don't have a problem "sharing" their partner, I really don't see any issue.

That's quite unusual, ceteris paribus polyandry is way rarer than polygyny.

If all the people involved in it agree upon it and are made happy by it - then why shouldn't such a relationship be called 'right'? It's satisfying a group of individuals and, as far as I can see, harms no one.

Two thirds of a page of people who pretty much agree that it's fine as long as all the parties involved are happy with it...

So now I'm curious. Could any of you imagine yourself in a polyamourous relationship?

Well, I'm Asexual, so I'm going to say 'no' or 'only if you paid me a LOT of money'.

I am very indifferent to this one. Its like homosexuality. I could care less, as long as they don't try to bring me into their personal lives.

Why would they try to bring you into their personal lives?

So, on topic. I certainly think it is a viable option for many people as long as all parties agree. In fact, it has some benefits. I would think that 3 people raising children would be convenient. Also, 3 incomes going to one household would be nice.

Sorry If I was confusing. You see, a large part of my friends are homosexual. They have never tried to turn me against my beliefs. Others have, and that's what I mean.

I don't think homosexuality is a definitive characteristic of polygamists.

They have never tried to turn me against my beliefs.


Sexuality isn't a belief you have that can change over time. Did you wake up today and made the decision to like females or males?

Nope.

My views on polygamy are thus: EW NO THAT'S SOMEHOW BAD! Wait, no it's not. I'm just a moron. Carry on, folks.

Rationally, I see nothing wrong with it. but my intuition says it's gross and bad. Probably because that's how my culture tends to view it (at least as aberrant, if not wrong). As a result, I can't really see it working out for me, despite not trying to discourage it for others.

I could. I'm an open person. Not to mention that I never seem to 'love' anyone way more than other people. So as long as the other psrties involved are open, fun-loving people, then why not?

It was comparison.

What I mean is, they tried to turn me against my belief. Either way my point is I dont care what they do as long as they leave me alone.
