LadiesBladewing -> RE: information on Polygamists (2/22/2006 6:15:59 PM)

Polygamy is a -branch- of polyamory.. specifically, it is a man, who is married/mated to more than one woman. You'll find positive, functional references to these kinds of relationships on many of the sites I listed for you, as well as among some of the long-term households here on CollarChat. I'm betting there are even some on the Gorean boards.
I can't speak to polygamy specifically, as our household was a 4-way, fully integrated mating, which grew into a larger group mating. However, the fundamentals are all pretty much the same. I -can- tell you that the news preys on the ugly and the horrible. For some reason, people don't believe the good and the healthy -- they seem to -crave- hearing about the vile and the miserable. Truth is, there are likely a much larger proportion of healthy, strong polygamous relationships out there than there are bad ones. (Oh, you may also want to look at other cultures where polygamy is relatively more frequently seen.)

Greetings Mistresses,
Thank you for your info....and forgive me if this comes across as wrong..but I was under the impression Polyamory and Polygamy were two different things? What I was seeking, are those that are practicing Polygamists. From all I have read so far, (and that isn't much), Most are tied in with some form of religion and view Plural Wifes as living according to what is preached in the bible, they don't seem to think kindly of Polyamory, as that is considered sex out of wedlock.
Im still trying to figure this all out and hoped that someone here may have heard of the various communities, or even a place where one could go to read. So far, all I can find are news articles that paint things in a pretty bleak and somewhat shocking picture.
Thank you for the information, I am most grateful *smiles*
