I agree with vineyards

and not with lisa.

For a man to "own" several woman, was only necessary when women were kept dumb and could not make a living on their own, and could not take care of themselves. I´m in the lucky position that as a woman, I don´t need a man to buy me a house, and buy my food. I have an education, and I only need a man for love. I don´t think a man could ever give me the love I deserve if he also shares his love with other people. I deserve much more then being one of many.

I don´t think this has anything to do with virginity though. How does demanding more then being one of many, have anything to do with saving yourself for marriage? Actually, I think I have kept my virginity longer than the average in my homecountry, because of knowing what I wanted from a young age. From having a certain self-respect, and awareness of what I was worth. This is also the same force behind me never excepting a man who shares his love with many.

If you think marrying several women is what the Quran states, you can also check the exact conditions surrounding it. It states something about a man having to love every woman the same amount. I think this is never ever possible, thus objecting the whole idea of several wives all together.

By the way... in most religions a man should stay a virgin too. Sex is something shared in marriage, so why talking a bit more about male virginity?

Amber made me laugh Not because she wants to be married to a guy whos leeps with other women - if that´s her idea of a happy relationship then I can only wish her all the best. At the end of the day it´s about whatever floats your boat - 1 husband, 3 co-wives, a pitbull or celibacy...

What I found amusing is she believes it´s human nature. As far as I can remember, a long time ago, before a group of guys wanted to put societies into order by writing down the words of an imaginary upper being, the human race was about preventing extinction. Hence men had sex with every woman they wanted to. At the same time, women had sex with every man they wanted because both genders wanted to prolong their species.

I wonder where Amber got the idea that women are naturally monogamists while men aren´t The only trace of sense I can see in it is what BM said - in societies where women are not allowed to work and hence support themselves they have no choice but sell themselves for food and shelter.

I should have known you´d still be at the first question...Some of us have somewhat moved forth, if you dont mind !

Good posts DD and BM,who the heck nowadays thinks women have no equal sexual status with men.If we strive to egalitarian society why women have always to be at disadvantage position.Women are sexual beings as well as men,their sexuality has been hidden or feared for ages.Why the hell women are perceived to be submissive?Why the hell men think they are owners of the world?Tribal and pagan beliefs glorify women not men,Mayas-those nasty 2012 calendar inventors worshipped women as source of life and did not demonize women sexuality.

 We the women have the same right as men have despite religions that would love to keep us inferior in this aspect as well.Middle ages are bygone things!Nowadays women do not really need men to be full of feminity,independent or worthy.These are men who need women more!

On the other hand I strongly insist on the fact that both sexes are completing each other,give each other joy of living and are complementary,which is wonderful thing.We have somebody to love and care.))

 What are you talking about...I haven´t said a word about virginity in days!
