What would this world be like if all men and women were legally allowed to have multiple husbands and wives at the same time?

We see in polyamorous networks the same social dynamics we see in social media networks or business networks: a large number of people with a small number of connections, joined by a small number of metapeers with a large number of connections. I’m one of the metapeers in my polycule; most polyamorous people have two partners, or perhaps three.

Contrary to the answer that says you’d have a few wives with many husbands and a bunch of men with nobody, that isn’t the pattern we see play out in polyamorous communities. Most men and most women prefer monogamy. Of those who don’t, about the same number of men and women prefer multiple partners. For example, I have four partners, all of whom have other boyfriends.

Contrary to the answer that says taxation would be a nightmare, tax laws are written by people. If social expectations and marriage law change to allow plural marriage, so will tax law, obviously.

Hello,hope y'all doin good, i came to Quora to share my strange story , a very weird one , a story when luck smiled at me ,maybe u will enjoy it , let's begin,have fun... A year ago ,I was a real porn addicted(btw I was 18) ,but never had sex before, I don't have a gf I didn't try to find one even ,always thinking to go to find a sex worker but then I just don't , everyday watching different bodies getting fucked and everyday enjoying. One day, I was watching porn, a big ass lady with big boobs ,just after seeing her the image of my female cousin poped in my mind, (let's introduce her : she's 35 years old , very big ass , nice boobs ,not very big but nice,always wearing tight clothes , she's divorced ) and I thought of me fucking her ,I never had sexual desires for her but now I do days went by and when I met her I was so horny ,I couldn't stay with the family cz my penis was clearly erected , I realized this is my first time I get horny for one of my family ,it not illegal in my country.well to make a long story short( if u want details just text me I will tell u 😊),I decided to give her signs that I want to fuck her,finally I decided to have sex and with my cousin , I thought it is the best beggining for me, i started touching her when I came across her in a narrow place , make her feel my hard cock when we hug , I thought it will hard and I will be ashamed but no , I felt nothing and she said nothing , probably she thought it was by mistake,anyways, I decided then to talk with her about sex, waited for her to be alone in a room and talk with her, I confessed everything about me watching porn and addicted..etc,she said it's normal and u are growing up and u must have sex,well at that time I was like whaaat????? Well I didn't control myself and asked her for sex ( horny like I Ve never been before) she said that she will think Abt it ,2 weeka went by then she called me ,telling that she reserved a room in a hotel and we meet tonight ,we met,and bruuhh, sex is great , I mean, I had to find a pirstitue ,what I was waiting for to have such a feeling ????, I will never forget that night, I started kissing her she was kissing hard ,she misses sex so bad , she sucked my dick and swallowed my semen ,I felt I'm in a dream , then when fucked ,her ass was very big and the anus was open ,didn't struggle to get my hard cock inside it , she was obviously missing sex , she was shouting ,fuck me yh fuck me , I go fast after every word until I cum , we did that 3 times , then we went to her pussy , using condoms I fucked her so hard the moans were higher , everything was perfect ,in the end I asked her to lick her body , licked pussy ,ass, boobs,then she sucked my cock until we sleeped ,all I know that she was dirty ,well before even having sex with her I knew she is an open minded woman , and a woman that looks that she donesnt know anything , but she knows everything, but never expected having sex with her ,well she was horny and that helped...but no one of us regretted that sex ever.. We still have sex from time to time ,and I started having sex with sex workers , joining threesomes..etc If u want pics of her text me.

Not a lot different from what it is now. The vast majority of people are monogamous, and don’t want plural relationships.

Contrary to the answer that says it would be a disaster for children, we know for a fact this isn’t true. Dr. Elisabeth Sheff (who is not polyamorous) conducted an extensive longitudinal peer-reviewed study of polyamorous households with children, which she published in the book The Polyamorists Next Door. She found that households with plural adult relationships result in children who receive more time, attention, and support from the adults around them.
