There is a guy in Meru who has 18 wives and 32 children. Get that? 18 wives. And he insists he is not done yet. His goal is to have 50 wives and 150 children. My nigga!! His name is Robert Kathata. You can watch his story below’
Hats off to the guy. I like how he boldly claims “Ukishaingia kwangu, ni ngumu kutoka.” A lot of guys cant even keep one woman yet this guy has kept 18 and they are all satisfied. He has even built a house for each one of them. Such an alpha male. A living legend, no doubt. I am so thrilled to know that polygamy is alive and well in parts of Kenya.
I can’t help but imagine how much this guy is enjoying life. I can’t help but envy him. Every night, he is sleeping with a different woman. A woman who not only disrobes for him but also cooks for him but also calls him “my love.” Every night, he enjoys a different flavor of food from a different wife. Bloody amazing. I can bet that each woman puts outstanding performances in bed in order to influence him to come back sooner.
He says his target is 50 wives but if I were him I’d stop at 31 wives. That way, I can attend to a different wife each night of the month. If it’s February and the month has 28 days, the three most stubborn wives don’t get sex. Those who have quarreled with me and questioned my authority can go drying.
If they have all been good in February, then I’ll have to set up one or two threesomes to accommodate everyone.
Polygamy is awesome and should be encouraged. Our great grandfathers had mastered the art of living in harmony with multiple wives then western influence came, women became severely entitled and men’s options became limited.
Women should understand that at no point in history (pre-history to as late as the 1800’s) were men ever expected to have one partner. Men were always expected to have concubines and multiple wives. Men are promiscuous creatures by nature. Why else would the testicles produce a million sperms everyday? What for? Trying to force a guy to be monogamous is essentially forcing him to go against his biological wiring and what he’s always innately known as a man.
Grazing on one acre is not normal for a men. Yes: it can be done, and is done [men are typically far more faithful than women these days]. However, it still doesn’t negate the fact that being committed to one woman is still an un-natural and foreign act.
The very Bible that everyone loves to death is a haven for polygamous men (both kings and ordinary men like Abraham). The pre-history men (Neanderthal & homo-erectus), aka Caveman also partook in buffet sampling when it came to enjoying the female species. What’s cool about it is that the females understood.
Every step along history (pre- and modern), men were known as polygamous. It was the norm, accepted, no big deal, just a way of life. It’s virtually impossible for anyone, or any guy, to erase what is essentially in his genes, hardwired over the course of millions of years that men has existed.
So its’ fallacious to expect men to suddenly re-wire our genetical makeup because of what “modern” society considers wrong, unfaithful and inconsiderate.
Modern society is trying to force men into living an un-natural lifestyle (sticking to one partner). It’s equivalent to society trying to force women to not care for and nurture their children (a behavioral act they’ve been doing for millions of years)
Polygamy is not just good for men. It can also quite beneficial to the wives. A woman who does not feel like sex for a period of time (whether she is pregnant, just given birth or ananyesha) need not feel pressured to give in to sex just to keep her husband faithful as he has other, perfectly acceptable options within the marriage. She doesn’t need to worry about him cheating.
Not only that. Women have just given birth will know just how isolating a time it can be. Most men can take only a limited amount of paternity leave (if at all) and they can be left, sore from the birth, suffering in some cases from post-partum depression, left to get to grips with the demands of a new baby on top of all the usual chores which typically fall to the resident parent. Imagine the comfort of having a sister-wife to help you, someone you trust completely to give the baby the care and love of a mother, someone who can help and empathize and someone whose children are the siblings of your own.
This very support can help to eliminate or reduce the stresses of the early days and the benefits don’t stop there. More adults in the homestead means that the earnings hit of maternity leave is softened.
As a woman, having more than one other adult in a relationship also means that you are never stuck for a babysitter when you want a romantic night out with your significant other. You can leave your kid with another wife as you go to engage in a night of passion with your husband. With all those benefits why would you not want to be on a polygamous relationship?.
If we have normalized divorce, let’s also normalize polygamy. Why are polygamists judged for wanting to take lifelong responsibility for the people they love and want to have children with while serial monogamists are permitted to cheat, separate from partner after partner, discarding their previous relationships on the scrapheap of life.
We have normalized divorce and we have tolerated gay and lesbian relationships. These are more serious issues than polygamy. If we have accepted them,then let it also be normal for a man to marry as many women as he wants.
As for me, I see myself going the same route as that murume guy. Future first wife, I hope you are listening. Utakua wa kwanza lakini hautakua wa mwisho…sawa?
To sum it up, here’s a futuristic image of my wives welcoming me when I get home
