Four-track mind

By Puspo Wardoyo and Sari Sudarsono (Trans.)

From Polygamy: Tips to Succeed with Many Wives, by Puspo Wardoyo, the founder of the Indonesian National Polygamy Society. Translated from the Indonesian by Sari Sudarsono.

Make an agreement with your wives on a fair schedule for the nights you spend with each. Having four, I allocate one week in a month for each wife. It can be in a row, but it can also be spread out, subject to agreement.

Educate your wives to be good and faithful, and to understand the principle of Islamic polygamy. You can do this by reading the Koran, as well as by filling your library with books on polygamy.

Communicate all the time with all wives and children, at least by phone.

Don't compliment one wife in front of another.

Eat a lot of fruit, vegetables, seafood, and honey to maintain your stamina. Don't smoke. Smell good. Be diligent in brushing your teeth.
