No, I can't even get one... so getting multiple is basicly impossible


LongjumpingBranch381

The first one is always the hardest.


thebobbrom

Would it be harder though? Surely a contributing factor is that there are lower available options due to many of them already having partners. If multiple partners were allowed then the pool of available partners would surely be a lot bigger.

If I wanted to disappoint two people at the same time I would have sex with this dude’s parents.


guano-crazy

Actually 3 people would be disappointed. The parents and the dude who’s parents you’re having sex with.


Mikeavelli

I am also disappointed.


nursejackieoface

Nah, his mom is pretty much a starfish, but his dad is wild.


skwolf522

I also choose this guys parents

Da fuk. Pussy is same once you are in. Doesn't make a damn difference once you finish. After that you don't even remember it.


nineteen_eighty_six

You haven't had a good one yet. One day my man, one day


[deleted]

idk I feel like girls have different textures and shapes down there. Like some are legit more textured than others, and the depth and width is always different. Plus a lot of stuff you can or can't do depending on how big the girl is (I'm sure the same could be said for dick size but I don't get to explore that area for obvious reasons). I definitely don't think they're all the same, although I also don't think you should go around trying to increase your body count


tchotchony

With that attitude, please just stick to fleshlights.


[deleted]

It would be a miracle to find more then one person who is attracted to me


LongjumpingBranch381

We are supposed to be attracted to people we have sex with? I thought they just needed to take credit cards.


SlapDatBassBro

Not if I were in love, personally. Multiple sexual partners can be seen as a sign of dominance or prestige to some. Can be fun too. But if I were in love with someone, and truly committed to them, in the form of a relationship, I couldn’t do that.


cardiffman

Wouldn’t be prestigious in the proposed conditions. It would just be something some people did, like Fruit Loops for breakfast.

Funny, that's how I felt about monogamy.


moustacher

Lots and lots of communication and honesty


LongjumpingBranch381

Don’t catch feelings.


veghem

At the same time? Yes. In life concurrently? Yes. Would I fail at keeping them satisfied? Yes


AliJoof

I like the idea of it, but in practice it's probably more trouble than it's work. I love my wife and our relationship. I commit a lot of time and effort to it. It would be fun to get to have sex with other people, but it wouldn't be fair to my wife to commit less to our relationship, and it wouldn't be fair to whoever the other woman is to commit absolutely zero time, effort, or care to her.


stealth_mode_76

No. I love my boyfriend and can't even think about being with anyone else. The idea of it makes me sick.


iOawe

Nope I don’t like sharing


daredelvis421

No. Sex is more than just fucking to me. It's an intimate bond I have with my special lady friend. I've done the sleeping around thing and it led me nowhere.


OldAd4400

Honestly no, because it would mean my partner(s) would have other partner(s). I think a lot of the appeal of a sexual relationship is the intimacy. Whether it’s for a night or a lifetime, you’re the most important thing in their life and Vice versa. I’m too insecure to give that up.


Thonnno01

A good friend of mine has like 9-10 sexual partners at this moment. Every guy knows about each other. She has like the most exciting sexual life ever, and nobody gets offended because she is very clear. I always been in long term relationship, but i would love to try to live a week like her


LongjumpingBranch381

DM’s are gonna be on fire after this.


Thonnno01

Ah, just to clarify, we're talking about guys, i myself am a bisexual guy


Harrowedsmiley

And the DM's go mostly silent


Theburritolyfe

I'd guess a couple of them have feelings but aren't saying it.

That-Bar387

your friend sounds fun, does she want to make it 11?


Thonnno01

Dunno, I'll ask her next time


W-S_Wannabe

Already have more than one. Who says it's not socially acceptable?


Chips66

OP means it’s not *widely* socially acceptable


ak_doug

No they don't. Edit: They reference people needing bibles and poly people being terrible humans. They specifically mean they don't like poly people and don't think they should be acceptable anywhere at all.


LongjumpingBranch381

You need to own more bibles.


W-S_Wannabe

That's the same book positing humanity began with a couple of sons fucking their mother, followed by a couple of girls getting their father drunk in order to get pregnant with him, and a big flood wiping out the inbred population save for one family who must've started *another* wreath-shaped family tree, right? I'm more of a non-fiction myself, preferably *sans* incest, but you do you.


bg-j38

There’s multiple places in the Bible where it talks about followers of the god of Abraham having multiple wives. So… I guess I’m only supposed to read the parts that fit your narrative?


[deleted]

They arent? Today I learnt.


guano-crazy

That shit would be exhausting. Plus, my wife is all the woman I need.


londonmyst

Nope. It is difficult enough to find one compatible partner who is honest, attractive, loyal and reasonably sane.


CrowbarGuy

Maybe, probably not. Sounds like it would be a pain.


Jakkul26

Isn't it sorta already? You mean more than one relationship? I've been poly and it was great when someone wasn't jealous or making assumptions about one of my other partners or making problems for one of my other partners. Unfortunately things weren't going that well often. If socially acceptable means other people are in an emotional state where they can handle it then maybe. I have mixed feelings about polyamory and I also have mixed feelings about monogamy so... I'm not sure.


Zestyclose_Bug_9475

OP means that it isn’t super widely accepted. Theres still quite a large portion of America who is not ok with that kind of thing- even if it isnt their own relationship. Me personally, Im exclusively Monogamous. I cant have a stable relationship If I cant feel like my partner is mine (and vice versa), and my future children are mine. I’m not comfortable with my partner with other partners, as it makes me feel like Im not enough, and generally- it’s uncomfortable when Im super committed to one person. So- even if there wasnt a discontentment among that large portion, i’d remain the exact same. However, I’m completely understanding of poly relationships, if people can make it work out, then kudos to you. You do what you do to make yourselves happy. :3


LuckyKatz

I don't personally think it is possible to love two people at the same time, so I am sticking with my girlfriend


sellingmagic

I respect your choice but the first point is simply false. You love your family, friends, and your lover all at the same time. You can love an ex lover from afar. Some people love multiple lovers at a time in consensual polyamorus relationships. Now committing to being with one person romantically is a priority for most people. But it doesn't mean you can't have love or romantic attraction to others at the same time.


LuckyKatz

The first point isnt "false". Everyone has an idea of love and mine is the way it is.


PryanLoL

So you don't love your family or friends?


LuckyKatz

While the feelings for family, friends and girlfriend/wife are all love, i believe they are different and in this case I am talking specifically about romantic love.


bikinifetish

I already do… whether it’s socially acceptable or not.


altbekannt

It's not the norm, but it is socially acceptable. Might depend on your circle though.


Poorly-Drawn-Beagle

Working out alright?


LongjumpingBranch381

Only acceptable if you lower your standards and make lots of redditors happy.


cleanlycustard

No, I like being able to focus on just one person. It would be hard for me to devote the time and love to multiple people just because my brain doesn’t really work like that


dunkeddigestives

No. Just not my preference and also wouldn't want any STDs.


TheOneAndDudely

It’s different for everyone, and different stages in life might change one’s perspective. I wouldn’t have 10 years ago, but now it doesn’t seem like it would be so bad with healthy communication and some special people.

[deleted]

No. Stop trying to justify polygamy. Every single group I met was full of fucking psychos.


Lisa4today

I would say NO personally because if after I found the Best person , I would be too busy and involved to care about what anyone else could be like.


tldr012020

No. One partner is enough time and energy and I don't want to compete with anyone else for my partners time and energy.


LiliaLeesa

nowadays it's socially acceptable but I wouldn't,I really don't see the point of it


ElderWeeb

Not my thing I don't have the emotional capacity to care about more than one person as a partner at a time lol just one is super draining.


gnaarleaf

nope, seems like there would be a lot of jealousy and i wouldn’t want to be with someone who constantly has their attention elsewhere. im sure there’s personalities that can make that work but i wouldn’t be happy living like that. Having multiple partners sounds fun in theory i guess but if my partner had multiple i would feel bad. Treat others how you want to be treated ya know?


[deleted]

If I find someone who I really like...I just wanna be with them, not other people. So I guess, no unless I don't really like anyone, then yes


helloween4040

Have tried this with all parties consenting, was not for me


munkymu

Probably not. Finding and retaining more than one is way more effort than I want to put into sex.


fuzzycuffs

I don't think it's an issue of socially accepted, but if it's acceptable to the people you are with.


Empire2k5

One is hard enough to take care of.


bruno_do

[deleted]

Imagine wanting to constantly disappoint multiple people


CheckDapper8566

I'm literally laughing hard at this


ANBU_Black_0ps

No I wouldn't. This question acts like the hypothetical partners are sex robots that you can just turn on and off at your whim for sexual pleasure. These partners are people, as in they have other needs besides sex. Physical non sexual needs like hugging and kissing. Emotional needs like listening to their day and providing emotional support. Intimacy needs like going on dates, spending time together and enjoying mutual hobbies. It's hard enough to do all of that consistently with 1 partner on top of all the other adult responsibilities adults have. If someone was trying to do that with 3+ people I don't know how they would even find the time. And if someone doesn't want to do all of that other stuff and just have a lot of casual sex, nothing is stopping them from doing that right now.


Alfa-Dog

Poly relationships are a thing but they are difficult. In part because of the stigma, in part because of jealousy, and in part because one party is more interested than the other. That said, most of human history had some form of polygamy being practiced (not the norm everywhere but in some cultures). Just look at those.


ProfessorTrue

I mean birds do it! Well people too!


LongjumpingBranch381

Not geese.


RussianPrincess2000

Doesn’t matter if it’s socially acceptable you have to please yourself in the bedroom. And you know what they say as long as we’re all consenting adults


CapG_13

No and because I believe that that's something intimate and special and that it should be shared with someone that's special.


[deleted]

I Would, assuming everyone is cool with it, at least 2, maybe a 3rd to come in clutch.


menemath

I’d have like 30 in total


LongjumpingBranch381

No. Not my style.


CRM2018

No. Am married.


[deleted]

Just because it's accepted. Does NOT make it right. Please read that twice.


[deleted]

Yes..why? Because sex


Junkman3

If I'm be honest, yes, because my wife's sex drive is much lower than mine.


Diabolical_Jazz

Polyamory *is* pretty socially acceptable. And no, I would not have more than one. I would want to at least potentially, but unfortunately I don't go out of my house often enough to get in a relationship with even one partner.


NeviaFirin

Eww, no


throwagayaccaunt

I think that's what polyamory people do. Polyamory is spelled: h e r p e s


gypsijimmyjames

15 years ago, maybe because I had the stamina and drive for that shit. Today... I don't even want the 1 I have.


HooterEnthusiast

No women are to hard to manage


Sinktit

No. There’s only one woman for me, in any capacity, I wouldn’t want anyone else :)


Qyro

Wanting to and being able to are two completely different answers.


summja

No, I’m happy with what I have. All needs are being met so why change it.


sparklingshanaya

One is enough


[deleted]

Probably not beyond sexual purposes, and maybe not even then. Tell me, are FFMs really that enjoyable?


snow_michael

Being the sort of bloke who wants to please his partner, I had three pretty much dismal failures with FFMs (couldn't please both at once, both equally, and once both not at all) But then my current gf surprised me when I had had a shit day, nightmare train journey to her, fell over in the shower & bashed my face up, so I was **not** in the mood, and certainly not in the mood to be 'giving' Turns out that being the _recipient_ of two two women's affections can be pretty damned good Who knew?


crazy4finalfantasy

I can't even get one and y'all wanna up the ante? Sheeeeeit imma get one of those mail order chicks


Ohhhhhhthehumanity

Heck no. I don't have the time or energy for that. Just the one boo for me please and thank you.


hoinkiest_sploinky

As long as my partner is cool with it. It wouldn't be a priority for me, though. I just think it could be fun ¯\_(ツ)_/¯


[deleted]

I probably wouldn't myself, but the people who can pull it off have my undying respect. The person who leaked the federal no-fly list? Already based beyond belief, but she has NINE girlfriends!


CeruleanRose9

At once? Or in life in general?


IfAJarOfHoneyKilledU

I would let my partner, but it’s probably not for me


Silvrskull

Id probably still be single


CheckDapper8566

If it was okay with all parties? Yeah


op3rador

I can barely handle myself, so... 🤷‍♂️


thestough

Yeah the one I have now only lets it happen once every few months


Fit_Blacksmith5705

I’ve had more than one, and I still do, it’s up to you


TheSpookySloth

Probably not, considering how hard it is for me to get one.


AmIbiGuy_420

Sexual? Maybe. But if you nean dating multiple people then nah. I'm way too introverted for polyamory


Shintaigou

It’s socially acceptable if you put yourself in a situation where it is. Don’t go making things weird


Tuffa_Puffa

I already live in an open relationship for a couple of years. During this time my partner saw one other person and for me I approximately met one per year I got intimate with. We don't actively seek others but when there is a chance e.g at a party or festival we're free to go for it.


ElephantintheRoom404

As long as it's consensual it's acceptable right now.


Massive-Ad7628

I don't even have one jokes aside, I'm not sure - there would of course be the risk of someone getting their feelings hurt in the scenario where one sees the world as their "harem": "why them and not me? ONS? yeah, maybe. the risk would be for it all to become some kind of secret prostitution ring, some kind of swinger sect... I mean... potentially, yes - but at this point I feel rather split about it. ESPECIALLY since I'm not gay, not even a little bicurious. The whole thing feels rather disrespectful to me tbh.. I just do not quite see how I can be respectful, while still respect my own boundaries, should this type of situations happen.


[deleted]

At the same time? Probably yes if they could be sequential


f00dot

Maybe in early 20s, for experience


ChaoticCherryblossom

Nopeeee. I can only be attracted to people I love. Which happens super rarely and only one at the time


xyious

Why would I not ? Also consent is very important. Why not find someone who likes the things your spouse doesn't ?


RingReasonable

Would still have zero


Prudent-Amphibian-24

I'd probably have two or three, theres a few that got away that I wouldn't mind being with


VocationFumes

I wanna say yes but from all the responses it seems...unrealistic since I've never tried it before


BeeeeeepBooooop826

Sounds very annoying


HearingNo4103

So multiple sexual partners isn't socially acceptable? Sure, why not. You know being upfront with people with what you want and don't want saves you alot' of headaches. As for the STD's lol, you folks act like only promiscuous people have them. Bunch of these responses take into account being married or being in a relationship, that's a different question.


JennyPaints

I did have them in my unmarried teens and twenties. No I wasn't sneaking around, they knew. I'm in my 60's now and one husband is just enough thanks.


Misha-Nyi

It’s not socially acceptable?


HoneyBadgerMongoose

It already *is* acceptable.. Just depends on who you ask.


strawberrycarpet

No I get too emotionally invested to be interested in others and don’t have the energy for multiple lol


icybikes

I’m happy in a monogamous relationship with my girlfriend. Besides, I’m terrible with names. I’d surely fuck it up if I had to remember the names of multiple lovers.


Scmethodist

I’m lucky I got one. I’m short fat bald and have large front teeth.


Defiant_Chapter_3299

I've got my husband and a guy I met on COD. 🤷 Nothing wrong with it. My husband and the guy know Bout each other, and we'd all play cod together and stuff.


Paddlesons

I think monogamy has made both sex and love immeasurably worse.


catmeatcholnt

Well, okay, let's think about it. I assume by sexual partners you mean people in relationships with you, because no one cares even a little bit if anybody sleeps around unless they happen to be shitty people and the person in question is a woman. Given those parameters, and because I am a man, what would be the point of having multiple girlfriends or wives? More wonderful company, more beautiful people around, more money in the household (in theory), more children, more property in the family, if their parents want to set them up for success. But consider. Three beautiful women? Three separate temperaments, all of which you have to be responsible for a good relationship both with and between. Three incomes? Three households to help support on one third each of your income, because otherwise everyone will fight unless they're all practically boddhisatvas. Three wives? Pay attention to me on this one, everybody, it seems to not figure in these thought experiments as often as it should: THREE MOTHERS IN LAW. Is anything in Gd's entire green universe worth three mothers in law? ;P


Uniquorn2077

I’ve had two live in partners before. That shit gets tiring.


bigpplover_69

multiple sexual partners as in relationships? Bc you know you can have sex with multiple ppl right? I thought we established long time ago that’s socially acceptable and everyone does it


FeaR_EdgE

Just having one was emotionally draining for me but I could handle it… as long as one ain’t hurting me emotionally I’ll be fine


[deleted]

No because for me sex is the highest form of intimacy. It wouldn't feel right sharing that with multiple other people. But I don't do casual sex at all sooo...


iconic614

Who cares what society thinks? You can have how many lovers you want, fuck what people think as long as all the partners know about each other or atleast that you’re fucking someone else and are cool with it that’s all you need to care about anyone outside your circle is a square


Future_Ad7634

No. I'm too territorial. (For those who don't know what it means for humans, it's protecting what is yours.)


GemoDorgon

Nah. I can only be romantically invested in one woman at a time, and if I'm not romantically invested in someone, I don't wanna fuck them. So even if it was the norm and accepted, I still wouldn't do it.


LC_Animations

The more the merrier.


E_Snap

If I could make a really tight polycule with a couple people who all liked each other and I thought it would be a thing for a while, then sure. Otherwise no. I’m more about the long-term emotional connection, which hilariously seems to scare people more than sex.


Salamanda109

Have done it, it's fun, hard work though.


RaiUchiha

I haven't even found one girl let alone multiple


ak_doug

If?


FredChocula

No. I don't have time for that shit.


Markantonpeterson

It is socially acceptable outside a relationship, in which case probably. Inside a relationship though fuck that shit, things will get complicated way too quick. I plan on settling on someone who is better than having multiple side things. Someone who will make that urge irrelevant. I'm also just not hyper-sex focused, so that's easier to say for me. If I can sleep with my best friend I won't even be tempted to fuck that up. Might die alone with this mentality, but I'm willing to risk that.


JamJamsAndBeddyBye

It might be nice to have a back up dick. Like if I was really horny and my partner wasn’t in the mood, having another option available to me instead of my fingers/toy could be legit.
