"Now, I'm not advocating polygamy, a degrading institution where a woman is not afforded the primacy and exclusivity that marriage is designed to offer. If, even after you marry, you have to compete for your husband's attentions, you may as well have stayed single.
"But that's my opinion--why should it matter? On my daily radio show, I 've interviewed polygamous wives who speak of the joys of the sisterhood of polygamous marriage. They argue that polygamy adds a communal dimension that monogamous marriage sorely lacks. Why, for that matter, should a woman be prevented from taking more than one husband, especially given the incredibly poor sexual performance on the part of most American husbands?"

*snicker* Duh.
And when one is poly, the men seem to try harder..... :-) (Or maybe I chose better this time. *kiss* )
Poor Sexual Perfornce
We mostly get along well, but bicker a lot about stupid things sometimes. I don't get to see my Dearlove very often anyway. He's great, too, in a differnt way.) The've aso been acquaintances for longer than my husband's known me.
I asked permission to begin the extra relationship. relationship. He could've cut it off right there. It would take a lot to end it now. But I could remain friends if it got to be a problem. My feelings, however, probably would stay the same.
Poly is a complicated thing, but it's good for the right combination of people.
Re: Poor Sexual Performance
I'm quite troubled by BB's withdrawal. He strikes me as an individual who is succumbing more and more to some past pain, one which is unknown and unaddressed in his conscious mind. I don't get the feeling that he's going to address it any time soon, either.
I agree that poly is both difficult and right for some people. I certainly spend enough time pondering it myself.
More than this I don't want to say here in 'open court.'

How would he know? (Yes, he counsels couples and has undoubtedly heard from many unhappy and unsatisfied wives. But sexually-satisfied wives don't usually feel the need to talk to a counselor about their satisfaction...)

I do agree with this statement. When you are dating you can be in love with whom ever you wish. But when you choose to marry I so believe in the vow of "Forsaking all others".
"They argue that polygamy adds a communal dimension that monogamous marriage sorely lacks."
If polygamy adds a sisterhood to the marriage, I need to be an only child.

And I support poly. After all, if you need to compete to get your needs met in the relationship, that's not much of a relationship -- it's true you may as well have stayed single.

And speak of their husband as "Oh, *him*."
Might just as well go lesbian.
