During that discussion, I came to understand that Mayuri and I were truly naïve in the sex department. My close friends had been far more adventurous and had tried quite a few esoteric positions and also experimented with quite a few toys that were easily accessible here. Mayuri and I on the other hand usually engaged in missionary style sex and occasionally engaged in doggy style sex. Besides that we didn't try anything adventurous till date, although oral sex was not uncommon between us.
It was inevitable that our discussion steered to forbidden topics in our community. As expected it was Shrini who started it by saying, "I think we should try swinging."
"Are you out of your mind," yelled Vinil. Pratik and I were a little bit relaxed but definitely not interested in the direction our discussion was heading.
"No I am not," Shrini replied very calmly and added, "I know quite a few of my American colleagues indulge in it and that's what keeps their marriages alive."
"It is not in our culture," retorted Vinil.
"Besides our wives would never agree to something that outrageous," he added thoughtfully.
"I am not worrying about the execution part yet. We need to be convinced that this is the right path before we worry about how to make things happen," said Shrini.
None of us could agree less.
"And it is not as if such things happen only here, I knew of a secret social network in Bombay that organized swapping events."
We were all ears as he continued, "Although outrageous group sex activities never happened there but wife swapping definitely happened."
"They ran a lottery scheme and only wealthy, screened couples were invited."
"The wives usually selected one of the keys from the pooled car keys and then she would be off with the owner of the car for a wild night feast of sex."
"India is not too far behind in these things."
"Anyway, we are all in the US, why should we care about the social taboos in India."
The seeds were sown. Only time would tell if they would bear fruit, I thought to myself. While I agreed with Shrini's point of view, I didn't quite see a reason why one would want to experiment with such a wild idea, given that it could have disastrous consequences. I was perfectly happy with my sex life and didn't see any particular reason to experiment. However, I had been into the marriage only for couple of years and hence didn't quite know how things would materialize in future. Shrini, Pratik, and Vinil were definitely in agreement on the loss of excitement in their marriage after all these years.
I wondered if any one from our group would find any person of opposite sex undesirable. At least, I found all the three women quiet attractive and would relish spending time with them in the bedroom. They were very different and unique in some sense. Sneha was the most voluptuous woman of the lot – her luscious lips almost inviting for a kiss and her pear shaped body was almost perfect example of Indian beauty on the healthier side. Rohini was the skinniest of the lot but she was quite attractive in her own way. Her height, almost 5' 6" was certainly an advantage and her smallish breasts with her cute smile definitely had an aura. Dolly was short and petite, except in the hip region, where she seemed to be a bit well endowed. She was the cutest of the lot. Mayuri was certainly the most beautiful women from our group but had slightly smaller breasts to my taste. I did work on them over the past 2 years to bring them to B+ cup size. Given her age, it was, perhaps, acceptable to have those smallish breasts. As women generally tend to put on a little bit of weight as they age. I always believed that women generally look their best in their 30s. That was perhaps one of the reasons I found Rohini attractive.
The guys on the other hand weren't all that handsome. Vinil was, perhaps, the best looking guy but then he was also the shortest. Even Dolly was slightly taller than him, although he would never admit that. Pratik was a typical Maharashtrian, slightly overweight but yet not undesirably so. Shrini was the skinniest and the tallest of the lot. Overall, one wouldn't rate him as a very attractive but he wasn't bad either. I was slightly dark skinned but I was the person with a very good physique and one who exercised regularly.
All of us moved in, where our wives had gathered together and were listening very intently to what Rohini was saying. Out of sheer inquisitiveness, I asked, "What are you folks talking about?"
Mayuri excitedly responded, "Rohini is talking about her thesis on polyamorous relationships in humans."
I was pretty stunned to hear that and could only ask further, "What about them?" Rohini elaborated, "Actually my thesis is to understand the roots of polyamorous relationships in humans and why such relationships came into existence."
"It is interesting to note that although polygamy is well understood by most Indians, it is not the only form of polyamory."
Sneha added, "And polyandry was also quite popular in some parts of India."
"Polyandry?" All four of us asked in disbelief. The only polyandry we ever heard was that in the Mahabharata age and only one specific case of Draupadi.
"Yes, some of the tribes in Tibet still practice polyandry and it is primarily for economic reasons."
"The amount of irrigable land is scarce and division of such fertile land amongst children reduces the amount available for each and consequently renders it useless."
"So, polyandry is almost an economic compulsion in Tibet and socially acceptable as well," explained Rohini.
"Apart from this, some of the people in Kerala and Bengal used to practice polyandry couple of centuries ago. Even today you could clearly see that they are primarily matriarchal societies," added Rohini.
Dolly excitedly chimed in, "I wonder how the husbands could identify their kids."
"And I always wondered how Draupadi allotted time slots to the Pandavas," blurted Mayuri. All of us could only have hearty laugh. But for Rohini it was a much more serious issue and we all looked towards her to get an expert opinion.
"Well, I don't know how Draupadi managed it but it is quite an issue of mutual understanding and the wife's consent."
"Most of the time, the wife sleeps with her husbands, usually not more than two, on alternate night basis," she explained.
"There is never an issue about whose kid it is, since they are their kids regardless of the actual genetic parentage," she elaborated.
"So, whose kid the wife bears is just a matter of luck, as all of them are having their due share from her."
"Well so much for economic compulsions," she exhaled.
"That explains the origins."
"But what about the revival of polyamory in the west these days?" asked Pratik.
"Well that is an entirely different issue and has no relation to economics or the social structure."
"It is something that I could never comprehend and I have rarely heard of such things lasting lifetime of a person."
"Usually, things fall apart as the mutual attraction decrease over a period of time and they never endeavor into more complex relationships involving children."
"Polyamory needs phenomenal amount of trust and faith to work in the long term."
"Moreover, making it publicly known causes other kind of social issues."
"What about swinging or spouse swapping," I asked only to get that glare from Mayuri and the other women.
"You can't compare swinging with polyamory," yelled Dolly.
"Well, he can," said Rohini surprising every one.
"More often than not, polyamory usually has a primary relationship that is superior to other relationships."
"Such as husband-wife relationship – that is the most important relationship and everything else is secondary."
"So, people usually have polyamorous relationships by having one or two people involved from outside in the relationship."
"It doesn't last for a long time but then that is by design."
"Swinging comes closest to this but then the sole purpose of swinging is just having sex."
"Having said that, people who are seriously into swinging, especially with the same set of people, do eventually develop polyamorous relationships."
"Yes, but all this happens only in the west," said Shrini almost dismissing the idea.
"No, it happens also in India but it is largely under covers," said Rohini.
Rohini had worked as a social worker in India till she moved to the US and had counseled quite a few disgruntled couples, who transgressed the borders of marriage once in a while.
"Indian women are not that adventurous enough for something like this," said Shrini, almost instigating the four women.
Dolly quickly retorted, "I think Indian men cannot handle it. That is the reason why we Indian women never entertain such thoughts."
