Opposed. It degrades the social value of women.

You are assuming that only men would have more than one partner. Women could have 2 husbands as well.

But to be realistic, marriage seems to be more benifical to men and as they age, and they want to me married (steady sourse of sex?) Women on the other hand, seem to want to be single the more they age. Especially the educated woman. That leaves even less women available for group marriage, so I don't see it happening on a large scale.

Also men my age are starting to have health problems. I already helped to take care of both my sick parents, and it was very very hard. I don't plan on taking care of a sick old man. Taking care of two sick old men? Get real.
