Not all polygamists are those macho cults with no education for the kids but the Bible, under-age brides and ejection of young males. Some well educated and gainfully employed women join polygamist marriages.

some people segregate their sex life from their love live, such as in a few communes.

polyamory still exists.

I think their is some merit for certain people to choose that lifestyle. If only I could convince my wives of that.

At my age a Life In Prison sentence is not much of a detrrent.

I don't know. I hear tell the single life of multiples is not the same as the married life with multiples. Maybe dig Hugh Hefner up and ask him.

What did Hefner's last wife say when she heard he was dead?

First time in years he's been stiff without Viagra.

You believe in an invisible god, and dismiss people who say they are trans? Really?

It's a fact that the best marriage
counselors are people that have
successful marriages, or those
that have learned from failures.
Which of those categories do
you belong to.

I have lots of experience with both the successful marriages and the failures. Certainly you don't think therapists have to have experience with addictions or mental illness to be good therapists. Are you denying that marriage is hard work and that sleeping around with others is not a good thing to do in a marriage?

of course not. Then again many therapists probably have experience with both addictions and mental illness. Just about anyone could read Shrink 101 and hang out a shingle as a therapist. Financial and popular success might ensue or it might not. Females tend to listen which encourages the patient to keep talking and this of in itself is the benefit according to some schools of thought. That is often why some patients improve even though their therapist is a computer program.

and that sleeping around with others is not a good thing to do in a marriage?I would insert the term 'probably not a good thing'. Many people come to the conclusion that it is a common vice and that it need not wreck a marriage. Some women accept the situation and rather than have expensive and often bitter divorces they simply buy a bottle of good wine and invite her over for a drink. I would say that embarking on an extra-marital affair during a time of stress would be unwise but if somebody is already fooling around on the side and the marriage becomes stressful, the side-play is not necessarily the reason for the pressures.

Russia's Ministry of Defense has released a video of one of its most inhumane and fearsome nuclear weapons ever created — and it's purpose-built to avoid US defenses.

The weapon, a high-speed nuclear-powered torpedo, isn't like other nuclear weapons. While there's a risk of radioactivity any time an atom is split, nuclear weapons have typically used nuclear detonations to create heat and pressure, with lingering radioactivity emerging only as a dangerous side effect.

But the new Russian torpedo uses radioactive waste to deter, scare, and potentially punish enemies for decades.

Designed to purposely contaminate the landscape for decades? Well, I guess if we're going to have a nuclear war might as well have the worst one possible.

First of all I am glad to hear that Evenbob and others realize that love does not require sex. That is an important truth.

However, I rise to defend one of the greatest blessings for all of humanity and that is marriage and a family that raises children with a mom and a dad. I know the hurt that failed marriages cause for so many people, I deal with it all the time. That should in no way cause us to give up on the institution of marriage. What could possibly be greater for the life of adults and children than faithful and committed biological parents who deeply love each other? Suggesting flings with paid prostitutes is the worst idea I have ever heard. It is like saying a good part of training for a marathon should be binge drinking and chain smoking cigarettes on occasion. Yes running a marathon is hard work but many people find it very worthwhile. Marriage is hard work but not only do many people find it worthwhile the very existence of western culture depends upon it.

There are many sexless marriages out there, for a myriad of reasons. If one partner, in this case lets say it is the wife, just decides she no longer wants sex in her life. Neither wants a divorce, but the man is hard wired to continue his bodily functions. Maybe it's no big deal to the wife? The sex workers in the brothel are glad for the considerate and safe employment, no strings attached.

For this hypothetical relationship, who do you feel you are to judge? It's what works in their relationship. It might not work with your people, but I'm sure as you have said you are familiar with failed marriages.

The couple stays together "for the children", the woman does whatever she feels makes her content, the man has his needs taken care of. No problem.

The last official act of any government is to loot the treasury. GW

It's known as the oldest profession
for a reason. Men seek it out for
a myriad of reasons and always
have. To label it wrong is to
completely misunderstand what
it's about. You'll never stop it, in
fact it can't be stopped. As the
world becomes more secular,
and gets out the stranglehold
of purtitanical Xtion thinking,
it will eventually be legalized
everywhere as a real and accepted
profession.

If you take a risk, you may lose. If you never take a risk, you will always lose.

Wiz linked to this but no asking price was given AFIK. Says it is a 2/3, which would be very unusual and indeed make it a teardown candidate. Note that over a year a fence was added to apparently keep fans from sneaking in and throwing pizzas up onto the roof. The President is a fink.

It'd really be a disgrace if they still let Johns go while just arresting prostitutes. It is a disgrace that they arrest either of them. Leave consenting adults alone.
