Polygamy in the under 35 age group
Do you think people will still do it? Those who've grown up or were born in the West?
I believe in today's world and for most people, polygamy is legitimised sexual irresponsibility. I know a man who goes to see his wife only to knock her up, never sees his kids and sends her money while he lives with his other wife and raises those other kids. That sounds a lot like prostitution/sex tourism. There is nothing between them other than sex, money and the repercussions of the sex. He's twice her age, they don't share a house, the kids have never met each other and probably don't even know of each other's existence.
That said the only people I see engaging in it now are older men and women who are in their thirties. Or women who are/have recently come from Africa.
So ladies and gentlemen, do you foresee polygamy in your future?

lol Hyper I would have thought it would go in the other direction.
Re: Polygamy in the under 35 age group
People who've grown up in the west won't really go down the polygamy route tbh. Their more likely to go in a cycle of aroos fur aroos and so on.
Personally when I'm older ill consider it. Right now 1 is enough stress lol.

Re: Polygamy in the under 35 age group
The Closest I got to polygamy was when I used to date 2 girls at the same time. Even that was a hassle and took a lot of energy to hide them from each other. I finally gave up. Would I consider it later on, maybe. Just want to try what it means to have 2 loves concurrently. It must be such a pleassure to sleep with a new woman every night. With that said, I want to make sure I can afford to provide for them. Just keep then on a circle.

Interesting
Even though there is social, cultural and religious tolerance to polygamy in Somalia, it isn't really widely practiced. I think according to Islam (don't quote me on this), you are suppose to be in a plural relationship only if you can financial, emotionally, and physically fulfill your obligations to your wives and children. But of course this is abused by Muslim men.
I personally say that polygamy is a personal preference and so long as all the parties involved are happy and content with this sort of relationship, who are we to judge them. However, I of course, have an issues when a men takes up several wives and the women aren't even aware that their husband have multiple other relationships, which is what I think you are talking about when you are referring polygamy as a sex tourism. It is morally indecent to take the power to chose or to consent from the women involved. It is their life after all. If they are O.K with being in a polygamy relationship, then they wouldn't mind being in one, however, if she don't, taking the choice away from her should be a punishable crime in my eyes.
I didn't always looks at polygamy with favorable light, but that has changed since I met Somali Bantu families who practice plural marriages.

Re: Polygamy in the under 35 age group
I once had a friend who had married his cousin and had several children by her. She became ill with complications from childbirth, so my friend married a second wife, who turned out also not to be able to have kids. She had a live-in maid, whom my friend later married, which made for three wives, and, the last I heard, seven kids. These folks were all in their late twenties to middle thirties and they all got along well. I don't think polygamy was always just about the sex.
Re: Polygamy in the under 35 age group
