Many religions that practice polygamy do it in a very specific way – one man”has” many wives. This suggests that women can be “had” in the ways that cars and boats can be had; that women are possessions, and, the more the merrier.

There are also spiritual (and non-spiritual) communities that practice non-sexist polyamory where it is not about gender, it is only about love. I do think there can be a different energy between the concept of a group marriage and the concept of a man having many wives – not always but sometimes.

To reference another fringe sexual community, it is the difference between “wife-swapping” and swinging.

I have to say I think anything that makes a woman a commodity is a dangerous thing. Anything that allows consensual love to happen without fetters is a good thing. I haven’t a clue how laws could be crafted to protect against on extreme but make room for the other.

Mood is a thing for cattle and lovemaking. It has no place where work is concerned.

Love the smell of freshly turned soil, freshly cut grass, honeysuckle, sunshine, warm on my skin. Nothing better.
