Mormo Meyer just wants more than one husband! That's why!


She's a Mormo! Of course she's going to have more than one love interest in her stories!
Sometimes Friday Bart just doesn't do it for a girl like Tuesday Steve does...

In what culture have women ever been allowed to have more than one husband/mate? It's been okay for men to have harems, but not women.

Maybe she's a fembo-Mormo...
...anyway, POLYGAMY!!! HOORAY!!!

Or maybe you have a vivid imagination. In a lot of cases, one husband is one too many.

Hey, you know what? Shut up!
Having a husband is great! And having more than one is awesome! I'm not saying I'm gay. I'm just entering a woman's head and bringing back the information from my discoveries, and I'm looking at how awesome she would see me, and need TWO of me! AND YOU'D DESERVE IT TOO...um, woman who ends up loving me enough to want to hear my voice in stereo
Oh my god! I should be a salesman!

reply

You've just proven my point. Why marry someone who's only going to treat you like a child, bossing you around? And why have more than one 'master,' when you can be your own?

Same goes both ways. I really gotta hand it to Mormon men. Being able to have 5 wives is Medal of Honor glory since 1 nagging wife is enough for most guys.

reply

Well, at least they have a chance of finding one wife in a good mood at any given time.

Yeah but married sex is a lot like prison sex. The sex you really want, you're not getting. The sex you're getting, you really don't want.

reply

I'll take your word for it.

Historically, in remote areas of Himalayan India and Tibet, apparently.

If the practice of polyandry still exists in modern times, and still existed in the fictional world of the souls, I wonder what they would have made of that seeing as they came to "experience not to change".

Edit: sorry - I clicked on the wrong reply button - I was responding to India_Ana. Nested boards! *tch*

You're attached to my post. You're just placed beneath the other person's remark, and my remark back to them.

Wow! Who knew? That is quite interesting.

Hey! Don't go giving E.L. James anymore story ideas. No telling what kind of UberFanFiction she could come up with using that idea.

Tibet for one, and elsewhere.

You do realize many love stories have love triangles, right?

The Notebook
Pearl Harbor
Phantom of the Opera
Sweet Home Alabama
Gone With the Wind
Vanilla Sky
27 Dresses
It's Complicated
This Means War

Need I go on? It's not a "Stephanie Meyer/Mormon" thing. It's a common plot used to create drama.
And you're totally naive for thinking Mormons are all about having multiple lovers, but your credibility went out the door when you referred to them as "Mormos." Mormo was a spirit who bit bad children in Greek mythology.

reply

Mormon sex lives are very conservative to say the least. And they all have to wear the same undergarments in bed.

...no, we don't. Surprise, we're totally naked while having sex! *Gasp!* What a shock! We can wear whatever we want to bed! Crazy, I know it.
Don't pretend to have knowledge on something you have only heard about in jokes.

That's a funny comment. But I can see why you would say that.
