Yes it does. In Thailand, anything goes. The Monks will gladly marry any combination of a "Family" group.
Some Women in positions of wealth and power keep more than 1 man. Some pretty boy Thais service many of the older well to do Euro women that visit. Its a fact Bud. Kick boxer body builders in the gym W/ rich older sugar mama's.

Polygamy
AND genuine thai pad sew w/ginger peanut sauce?
Can life get any better than that?
Americans are So narrow minded and assume their ideas supreme.
These relationships are of course more difficult. Most men keep one woman here and one there. Although some live happily together as THe Thai muslims (minority) do.
The only way this arrangement is going to work well (Buddhists, Im not intimate w/ muslims) is if the girls are best friends, basically they are running the show and sharing the guy in all actuality. Affording this and dealing w/ the complications of these relationships ain't something many Westerners can hope to deal w/ . Our Judeao/Christian based culture has way to much guilt, shame and "dirtiness" connected to sex and the human body to reconcile it.
You wouldnt believe some of the stuff Ive seen, and my wife tells me every week about a over the top relationship.
I know what you mean. When I first saw these arrangements, I was surprised... downright shocked at first,
...but when I got a little closer and saw how they actually worked, ...I was blown away and amazed.
All the girls were actually best friends with each other.
I remember one night back in 88 asking one girl N here in Canada how she handled it, ...and she just said "Hey, I just take my pill regularly, and when he can be with me, he is.
Two years later, a girlfriend of mine called me up wanting the low-down on this guy, ...she wanted to be one of his girlfriends, and wanted to make sure it was what she thought it was. She wanted to make sure she wouldn't be the ONLY one to required to satisfy his needs, and that she had help in that regard. And wanted to make sure all the other girls were cool
Another situation I witnessed up close was in S. Cali. This one guy had so many girlfriends, he made matching baseball jackets for them all with his nickname for each girl embroidered on the jacket. In some circles, it was almost a status symbol to have one of those jackets. At first I didn't know what was going on, then one night driving home from Santa Barbara, I admitted to one of our friends 'B' that "I'd never noticed before what a sweety so & so was, ...but he's a real sweety. He reminded me a great big teddy bear you just wanted to wrap your arms around." Wouldn't you know, she goes and tells 'L' who I thought was this guy's girlfriend exclusively. Instead of getting mad, ...she just smiled and agreed with me, ...next thing you know... she starts leaving me alone with him every chance she got. It was only afterwards that I realized all those women were also his girlfriends as well, ...but only a few lived at the house. It seems he was attracted to me, ...and unbeknownst to me, all his other girlfriends had pre-approved me. With their blessing and approval, they all felt it was only a matter of time before I succumbed to his charm.
It was very fascinating and eye-opening to see how they all worked together, and helped each other out, in total co-operation. Totally blew my mind. There was absolutely no bickering or squabbling between the girls at all. And Jake, ...before you wade in on this, ...the answer is YES. His 'p' hand as you like to call it, ...was VERY STRONG!
