I think men that have not been in polygamy, and I was one…
““I think men that have not been in polygamy, and I was one of them, fantasize about polygamy. Fantasize. It is fantasy. Because you are talking about dealing with the psychological, emotional, social, and economic needs of another human being. That is what marriage is...And now, you're talking about dealing with not one other being, but with two other beings. They think about the sexual aspects of it. But even that requires emotional, psychological [strength]. I'm saying all of that is involved even in the intimacy aspect of it. So it is more than just a notion.””
