I've seen women claim that but I heard very few complaining that the water freezes on the husband's side of the bed. On the other hand husbands make similar resentful jokes all the time. The difference in sex drive is practically a meme in culture is it not?

    There are a host of reasons why it isn't an intelligent lifestyle choice, as Tahuyaman puts it.

    When you choose a partner, it is not only based on sex. Unless you're just choosing a sex partner. But a real partner, you're building a life with them. A life that transcends whatever peaks and valleys come along, in drive, finances, and health. Which is why the vows so often include in sickness and in health. It is an understanding and an underlying respect and reverence to being committed to a life together.

    To introduce someone else in that endeavor (because of selfish impermanent reasons) is just so risky to a union; dare I say a spiritual union?

    I think I did. Wow. Anyway. Yeah. No. Doesn't make sense to me at all.

    B. Post war, famine, natural disasters where the male population is decimated. Or simply a pack of quality man around for women to desire to matter with them. There are some women who would rather be the 'other women' than be some knuckle head's wife.

    When I was in high school a Somali dude was renting a room from the old lady across the street. I talked to him now and then. He was a funny guy. I asked when he was going back home and he said he would stay as long as possible. I asked why. He said that he had three wives at home. I said that I would think that would be good. He looked like his eyes were going to bug out and he said it was a nightmare.

    Are older women more focused or are there just more of them? I guess society must have it all wrong . Thank God we have you and your vast experience .

    Well put. But others may have different versions of a spiritual connection. It is even possible that an equal in all ways three way bond could be formed. That would be difficult as all hell. In fact even two way partnerships are tough and that's why they aren't a primary form of business organization.
    Life would be easier if kids didn't take 20 years to raise. LOL

    Possible? Anything's possible, so we've been told. Probable? No.

    I know of one instance personally that tried a three-way partnership. DID NOT WORK. Also have read and watched accounts of polygamy and attempted three way partnerships and none of the stories turned out well. That doesn't mean, of course that it can't happen, but I don't ever believe it's going to be a norm across humanity.

    So many issues even without bringing children into the mix. Once children are in the mix of that, the issues are compounded.

    Three times the sex wasn't worth three times the nagging ? I never thought of it that way. I now agree that it is a poor lifestyle choice! LOL
