[QUOTE]Originally posted by Debbie: [QB] Sorry folks. I didn't think the other one posted so I rewrote it. The thoughts are pretty much the same, just different and more examples in this one. Couldn't decide which one to delete, so I didn't delete either one of them. Karin, Judging from your answer you seem to imply that the only reason people have extramarital affairs or marry multiple partners is to satisfy sexual urges. I would argue that women have extramarital affairs, and MIGHT marry multiple partners if allowed, to satisfy other urges and needs that their partner neglect. A woman will fantasize about a character in a movie or book or just a movie star in general because of unfullfilled needs such as kindness and understanding, the ability to listen and care, and other character traits that have NOTHING to do with sex. Why does sex have to be the only motivator for multiple marriages? If a woman doesn't get quality time with her husband, but a neighbor offers a listening ear when she needs it, or she sees a character in her favorite movie that does, wouldn't it be normal to become closer with the neighbor or fantasize about the star? Now men being men, perhaps she will share sex with him because she wants to or maybe in exchange for what he offers her. I just think that your excuse that men are weaker than women, regarding sex, is not a good argument for allowing men to take on multiple wives and not women multiple husbands. Now for the record, I agree that the NORMAL excuses for men taking on extra wives makes more sense, IE: women that have lost their husbands in war (I mean if the women are completely incapable of taking care of themselves, and no preparations were made by the husband or his country before he left for war to take care of his family), women that can't have children, etc.... but even with this second one, why isn't there any stipulation about men that can't produce children? Muslim men don't have the corner on being Manly Men and totally verile. Not that they would admit to any weakness such as impotence (although I believe the need or desire for Viagra in this country speaks for itself along those lines) or having a low sperm count, but I would bet my last bottom dollar on the fact that there have been Muslim men that couldn't produce a baby and perhaps his wife should have been given some alternative solution to that one. What do you think? [This message has been edited by Debbie (edited 13 April 2004).] [/QB][/QUOTE]
