To think a scientific study was required to prove an obvious axiom is a reflection on the sad state of sociological research in America. Some government agency actually paid to find out that men are attracted to attractive women, regardless of, or perhaps because of, their marital status. Attractive wives are more dangerous to marry than their plainer counterparts and that’s why attractive poly wives are the greatest challenge of all. It takes a certain kind of man to welcome that challenge but, for those that do, it’s a fun ride to go on.

It doesn’t matter if an attractive woman wears ankle length dresses, reading glasses or shuns makeup, she’s going to be a target for a certain type of man. I used to be that type and nothing was more fun and challenging than trying to seduce a very conservative married woman. I was fairly successful at that until one such woman turned the tables on me, which is why I am now the second husband of a poly wife and now I’m a mono husband.

A mono husband with a poly wife is taking on a challenge and it’s even worse if the wife in question dresses and acts like she is constantly on the lookout for something new and interesting. That’s exactly the sort of wife I have. She is easily bored and constantly seeking excitement and she’s very good at finding it and she attracts men like bees to honey. Keeping her attention, trying to compete with her lovers and trying to keep her as happily spoiled as she is has kept me on my toes for the past ten years.

A man has to be pretty confident to marry a poly wife because he knows she is going to run into men who are possibly richer, want to spoil her more, make love like sexual athletes and may just want to steal her away. A man has a choice, either surrender or do better, the latter being the singular characteristic a poly wife should seek in men.

The one advantage a poly wife has over her more conservative counterparts is that her husband is in competition with every man on the planet to keep his marriage intact. He knows that there are a lot of areas in which he cannot compete with other men, but he’s constantly looking for an advantage over others. Nothing can be more flattering to a woman who has her freedom than to know her husband would do anything for her she wished. My wife was demanding right from the start, requiring me to do things not many men would. She required a level of devotion that was almost impossible to meet.

A mono husband wants a wife who is totally and completely spoiled, selfishly sexy and completely confident That’s the entire point of it all. It makes for a marriage in which the wife gets to experience far more than other women do and the husband is constantly striving to be at his best to please. That’s why this marriage formula breeds successful men and glamorous women.

It’s just a maxim, successful men have the most naughty wives. They turned out to be successful because, if they weren’t, their wives would leave for something better. They’re driven because that’s what it takes to keep a poly wife happy. It’s not necessary that the husband be a titan of business, he could have the most successful plumbing company in the community, or be a woodworker who gets paid a fortune to produce a unique piece of furniture. Whatever it is, poly women make men work hard, be creative and pick themselves up from failure and keep trying until they get it right.

A successful poly wife is confident and knows her husband is there to spoil her and, therefore, pushes the limits of her husband and always demands a little bit more than he can provide. That can come down to having her husband take full responsibility for the children for two or three weeks whilst going on holiday with a lover, going off to Bermuda alone for a two week holiday, studying in Paris for a month or even having threesomes with her lover that don’t include the husband.

Once a limit is pushed successfully, it can be pushed further. The more a poly wife pushes the boundaries of marriage the happier the husband will be and the more committed he will be to her. There are limits of course, like coming back pregnant, like my wife did, after a year long hiatus from our marriage. She dealt with that by allowing the child’s grandparents to raise her son. Few women have the audacity to do that, but my wife did with the knowledge that she knows I bought the ticket and I’ll take the ride right to the finish.
