Book Description
One man, many wives In The Polygamist, William Irvine explores love, sex, and marriage within the context of an unusual household. An exploration of sexual fantasy and desire, ultimately The Polygamist is a coming of age story with a strong spiritual theme. Set at the end of the seventies, a time when experimentation with alternative lifestyles and sexual relationships was rife, The Polygamist follows the fortunes of Omar Al Ghamdi, Saudi-born but educated in the West; a man who is the product of two irreconcilable cultures. After two decades he has come to experience philandering as increasingly superficial; but vehemently opposed to monogamous fidelity, turns to polygamy as the solution to his high turnover existence. His hope is that taking several wives will provide him with a more honest and satisfying alternative, allowing him to engage in deeper relationships whilst still giving a long enough leash to his sexuality. Having pursued his goal without compromise by entering into serial arranged marriages, he lives with his household on a remote house on Colva Beach in Goa. Does the reality live up to the dream? And, what is it like for the women? How can one man possibly satisfy multiple female partners? Written from an unashamedly male perspective, The Polygamist will appeal to those wishing to understand male sexuality and the desires that shape all of our lives and relationships.

The Polygamist Papers is the flagship volume in a series that examines plural marriage from a socioeconomic perspective. It was drafted to (a) ensure readers an accurate understanding of polygamous culture's intent and purpose, (b) highlight the cross-cultural and international scope of polygamy, (c) reveal the communitarian ethic inherent within polygynous families, and (d) uproot mythology surrounding polygamy.The series is an ethnographic endeavor that spans three decades and 25,000 hours of primary research. The author was raised in a polygamous family in the suburbs of Detroit, Michigan, and has been given testimonies from polygamists residing in Africa, Asia, and the Americas, as well as adult children and former members of polygamous families. This 54-page revised edition has been updated with nearly 40 footnotes, an expanded bibliography, and additional reader reviews, while improvements were made to grammar, tone, and font style."The Polygamist Papers, Vol. 2: Polygamy as Economic Warfare," debuts Spring 2015.
