In the USA many many many people are practicing functional polygamy. What I mean by that is many people are cheating on their spouses, or are having “casual” relationships. At least with polygamy the issue is open and honest.

Hehehe! Very interesting post. But then it has to be obvious why polygamy practicing men live longer than monogamy men, less stress and more pleasure.

maybe I just should stay in a monogamous country and practise polygamy as a role model for a longer life ?

You make a good point, Peggy. Polygamy was accepted in the “olden” days because so many men died in hunting and wars that there was often quite a difference in numbers between men and women. These days, when the numbers are fairly even, there is no good reason for it.

I wonder about the men who get left out. If there are some men with many wives, then there must be others left with no wives. I guess they die young as well as unhappy.

I think we need a list… I might move from the Philippines one day :)
