Hi everyone!

My name is Myke and I work for the Jay & Tony Show, a production company in Los Angeles, CA. We want to create a documentary about men and women who are looking for their first second wife. We want to document the journey of how a couples finds their first second wife from the search phase up until everything is well-established. Our goal for this documentary is to shed a more positive light on the topic of polygamy and hopefully influence others to not treat it as such a taboo topic.

Please let me know if you are in a coupled relationship and are currently looking for your first second wife. If you're not in that kind of situation and know someone who is, we'd love to chat with them. Please contact me if you're interested in helping create something great and influential.

Let me know when I could set you up with a phone call from our executive producers. We'd love to hear your story and want to get as many people involved as possible.

Shoot me an email and we'll set up a call. [email protected]

Thanks for your time!

Greetings Myke,
Welcome to our forum. Please feel free to lurk, browse, etc.

I am in the closet and am in more of a two-husband type situation, so I couldn't be of much help, but hopefully you will find others. Glad to have you onboard in any case!

Sincerely,
Kevin T., "official greeter" :)

Yeah, not so sure I want even *more* people in the world confusing polygamy and polyamory. It still amazes me that, of all the myriad possible relationship configurations that can naturally occur within a non-monogamous framework, the only one that people want to put on TV screens is the one that seems to be the most unstable, least commonly successful, and therefore possibly the least representative of all. I guess the logic is to try to focus on relationships that entail the minimal possible deviation from heteronormative monogamous marriage as possible in hopes of connecting to a wider audience. Shame that in so doing, you are portraying possibly the most challenging of all relationship styles (the closed FFM triad) as if it were a) common and b) simple to transition to from an existing marriage.

And while we're on it, 'first second wife'? Really? Presumably for the woman in the existing relationship this would just be her first wife. Why is this all from the married man's perspective? Couldn't it be two bisexual women married to each other looking for their 'first joint husband'? Pleeeaaassse.

Meh. If you are going to focus on a triad, why not make it a little bit more original and pick a straight woman with two bisexual male partners. You know, just for a bit of variety. It's 2016.
 
Yeah come on Myke/Jay&Tony, how's about changing the record? Do something really groundbreaking and feature other combinations!
 
What about couples who are looking for their "first second" husband? If you're going to show polygamy, how about polyandry? Or gay and lesbian couples looking for their "first second" spouse?
 
But then again...

A reality show called Unicorn Hunters. We watch three couples fail miserably week after week. Lots of reality show drama there. Plus, it would show people that unicorn hunting is not a good thing :rolleyes:

...except... everyone would be convinced that polyamory is not a good thing - just see how these unicorn hunters are doing it!! Anyway, it would be great reality tv drama - plenty of it :D
 
I'd like a documentary or even a scripted sitcom (actually, that'd be even better. Much better. Like Portlandia ish.) where they deal with a poly community where groups get together and talk about their poly lives, and vignettes from the fictitious households of various kinds of poly folk, from the overbooked solo poly, to the Master with a pair of collared subbies, to the couples who show up to the discussion group announcing proudly, "We've opened and are now seeking our third." At which point everyone in the room side-eyes one another subtly and is unfailingly polite, but that couple vanishes within a session or two... I imagine a scene where veteran group members chuckle over the newbie couple's awkward ads on fetlife or craigslist.

As a cool inside joke, I'd have an episode where someone came across a dude who wanted women to be part of his organism and drive lamborghinis, too. Because hey, wtf, right?

A ridiculous work of fiction, based on real stories from the hilarious reality. I would love to see that done...too bad tv and film isn't really my gig.

Fair enough. So at the halfway point of the season they bring in a sort of poly life coach type to show them what they are doing wrong. They could steer them toward dating separately or toward the swinging community or whatever.
