Source: Sex in History by Reay Tannahill
In early India, along the Malabar coast and in the foothills of the Himalayas, there was a custom of polyandry: which permitted a woman to have several husbands. In the great epic, Mahabharata, its heroine was married to five brothers from the same family.Now, let's try to imagine what went on in one of those households, with a woman married to 5 husbands living under the same roof. If there had been a child, who, pray tell, would have been the father? In a polygamous relationship, with a man with 5 wives, that would be quite obvious, who the father was. But in this situation?If this practice were to be revived and accepted, do you know of any woman alive that would be attracted to a polyandrous lifestyle?
Ok, on the positive side of having more than one husband..hmmm...maybe the "variety" when it comes to sleeping with someone different 5 nights a week..THEN..lets see, 5 piles of dirty clothes all next to the hamper and not in it, ahhh....10 individual socks laying all over the floor...5 newspapers all torn into sections that you have to put back together....washing machine overflowing with mens clothing...5 guys taking turns hanging off the refrigerator complaining there is nothing to eat in there....5 tv sets all tuned into baseball, golf, football, basketball, car races or the MAN CHANNEL...ugh.
As for "who's the BABY DADDY"...who cares. If you have agreed to live with 5 times the normal aggrevation then it really doesn't matter who the BABY DADDY is now does it??
I do not know one woman in her right mind who would agree to having more than one husband at a time. They are just simply too much work, now aren't they?
Hey, if the WOMAN wants it, cool. If you had 5 husbands, maybe one may give you some real attention or actually finish some projects around the house.
No...you would have 5 projects all not finished with 5 more just beginning while you are waiting for the paint to dry in 5 different rooms as you walk through kicking the multitude of beer cans out of the way that served as their "nourishment" while they were working on these projects...that is in between the 5 different tv's all tuned into some sports station or Ultimate Fighting stuff, perhaps some bloody, gory movie on top of all that.
I love my man......but as was said....I don't know a single woman that would want to deal with more than one man. <I have kids already.> :P
As far as the other comments about a woman liking the variety with a different guy every night of the week.....this isn't the same women that would want them as a husband!

^ What they all said! And on top of all this work and irritation, 5 horndogs to boot!
Hmm, I think I could assemble quite the team!!! As it is now, I vacillate between the brawny, he-man types, with whom I enjoy many things but not intellectual conversation, and the intellectual or artistic types, who don't like sports or outdoor activities. This way, I could have a man available to enjoy all of my interests!
I think 5 would be too many but if it HAD to be that way, I'd pick a mechanic, a chef (like Gordon Ramsay, not a prissy man), a construction worker, a writer, and a masseuse. Imagine having gourmet meals cooked by your very own chef, a massage at the end of a long day, poems written in my honor, someone to change the oil in my car, and to add on that extra room I've been wanting!
And, of course, when you just don't want to deal with them all, they can watch sports and John Wayne movies on TV together (if it was football, I'd watch with them sometimes!) or go on field trips to Home Depot and Sear's.
