We're hearing a lot about polygamy and open marriages and I'm wondering if we're really heading in that direction or if it's just something to titillate us with. I've often thought that a marriage between 1 man and 1 woman wasn't a perfect union and that a marriage between 1 woman and 2 men would make more sense. Pure polygamists never mention that combination, though, and seem to prefer one old man and a gaggle of young women. You couldn't ask for a worse combination.
I got my idea from a sister-in-law who shall remain nameless. She suggested a woman needs 2 husbands...one to sleep with and one to dance with. Ever since she brought this up I've come to believe she's on to something.
A woman could find that very nice man who is good in bed but not much fun anywhere else. Then she could bring home the dancer who'd almost certainly be a fun guy she'd like to spend her spare waking hours with. And it wouldn't matter if he was gay, either, because she'd already taken care of bedtime. Husband #1 might be very satisfied to stay at home watching sports on T.V. while his wife was getting all that "foolish" dining and dancing out of her system, too. Everyone is a winner here.
Then think of the household income they'd create! It might be enough to hire a cook and housekeeper. But I'm getting a little carried away.
It's fun to think about, though.
