I think most women and men would only be interested in monogamous marriages anyway. I wouldn't see that as a big issue.

Fine with me as long as nobody is forced to do the procedure.

I think women would be more likely too... I think most male millionaires could build up a fairly big collection wives without too much trouble... even those just outside the millionaire club could get quite a few as well, though i think your probably right, it's something that could become an issue but would likely not...

I'm a supporter of it, both Male and Female polygamy. Monogamy is simply an imposition of Christianism on society. As long as it is consenting I'd support it. The problem would arise in terms of wills. The whole law concerning wills would have to be radically altered.

No kidding. I'd never get any gaming in if I had to deal with more than one woman...

Pardon me for being a stickler, but even though "polygamy" (polys (many) gamos (marriages)) ought to refer to both male and female arrangements, it's traditionally used to refer to one male + many females. The most rightest bestest word for one woman + many males is "polyandry."

Personally, I like to refer to it as A bad idea.

So that would be "polyandry" (polys(many) Andres(man)) then?
