"Polygamy is to marriage what the free market is to the economy. Which can only mean one thing: If you oppose legalizing polygamy, well, you are a Communist."

Right on bro! +1

If left up to the free market, those who have the most values to offer to prospective mates would be the only ones who would even have a shot at procuring multiple mates.  Those who end up doing without, could either work to increase their value as a mate, or continue to suffer the consequences of their laziness.

That may seem like a harsh assessment to some, but just remember who it's coming from ;)

On the lighter side, if you currently have what it takes, you don't have to wait for "society" to catch up and make polygamy legal.  You can always protest tyrannical marriage laws through well-publicized acts of civil disobedience ;D

while I'm a one woman guy, why does everyone seem to hate the mormons so much for their polygmy. . . I don't really see women being strong armed into this. . . personal choice. . . I've never met a mormon kid who was a punk or an asshole. . . maybe they're raising these kids right, until I see one that isn't. ..

what's it of anyone's business?  I don't personally think it's a way I could go, hell most men bitch about ONE wife, imagine having 3 or 4? lol

Hmm...I took that out of context, sorry.
Yes, plenty more in the "woodwork" who we may never know about.

Especially in NH.  There are plenty of folks I've met who might be polygamists.  Or might actually just be renting out a room to a friend.  Who knows?

Of course, the percentage who are still "in the closet" makes it hard to find likeminded folks... at least wear a parrot on your clothing somewhere!

I've known two different sets of gay polygamists. Both were triples rather than couples. I think it's very different than str8 polygamy. A str8 polygamy of a man and two women is kind of like a "V" while these guys were more like triangles. In both cases, they lasted a few years but have since broken up. I think one broke up completely and the other just kicked one guy out.  :-\

More power to you, I say, if you can make it work. Screw the marriage laws. Gay people can't even legally get married to one other person, much less two. Didn't stop them.

MaineShark

In sets of three, polygamy can be three of one sex (male or female), or two women and one man, or two men and one woman.  They can be "Vees" with one partner sharing the two others (but no romantic relationship between those two), or "Triads" with all three romantically involved with each other.

Once you go to four and more, the possibilities increase dramatically.

Who cares what the "marriage laws" are.  I have no interest in getting licensed to get married.  Asking a bureaucrat's permission for me to love my wife (or whomever) is patently offensive to me.

What's the penalty for bigamy?   Two wives.  Ba-dum-dum!

Yes...a polygamist I know who was having marital problems once confided in me, "Anyone who desires polygamy...deserves it."
