i would surmise that you feel that having only one wife is not.. generous..
Yes.. It is called "polyandry"..
A Man with multiple wives is actually called "polygyny"..
Polygamy actually refers to the overall practice of a person of either sex having multiple spouses..
Uh...what makes you assume the "no sex" part? Remember who we are dealing with here.
Now that would be nice and adding to that they always think your beautiful no matter what, you are never fat, so that never ending question do these pants make me look fat will be gone forever! lol
I am of mixed minds about polygamy: On one hand, you have multiple expenses and headaches -- on the other hand, there is the group sex.
You know that might not be so bad...
Then again even an artificial woman might turn out to be cold as ice as in this ELO song.
Yours Truly, 2095
[2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly...]
I sent a message to another time
But as the days unwind, this I just can't believe
I sent a note across another plane
Maybe it's all a game, but this I just can't conceive.
[Can you hear me?]
I drive the very latest hovercar
I don't know where you are
But I miss you so much till then
I met someone who looks a lot like you
She does the things you do
But she is an IBM.
2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly...
She's only programmed to be very nice
But she's as cold as ice
Whenever I get too near
She tells me that she likes me very much
But when I try to touch
She makes it all too clear.
She is the latest in technology
Almost mythology
But she has a heart stone
She has an I.Q. of 1001
She has a jumpsuit on
And she's also a telephone.
2095, 2095, 2095, 2095
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly...
[CHORUS:]
Is that what you want? (Is it what you want?)
Is it what you really want? (Is it what you really want?)
Is that what you want? (Is it what you want?)
Is it what you really want?
I realize that it must seem so strange
That time has rearranged
But time has the final word
She knows I think of you, she reads my mind
She tries to be unkind
She knows nothing of our world
Although her memory banks overflow
No one would ever know
For all she says: "Is that what you want?"
Maybe one day I'll feel her cold embrace
And kiss her interface
'Til then, I'll leave her alone.
I love you, sincerely
Yours truly, yours truly...
[REPEAT CHORUS]
"Is that what you want?"
My point is that we seem to have removed any societal oversight over the reason for the institution of marriage. Now, any collection of people can get married for any reason.
You are correct. The opinion of the left is that society should have nothing to say about such things.
Which is inconsistant with their facist approach to anything said or done that is not of liberal origin.
