Do Mormon polygamists have threesomes?
First of all, there is no such thing as "Mormon Polygamist". "Mormons", members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, have not practiced polygamy in over 120 years. Polygamists do not appreciate being called "Mormons", because they aren't. They broke away from the "Mormon" Church in the late 1800's, when the practice of polygamy was outlawed, and therefore don't want to be associated with them. (The association between the "Mormons" and the polygamists is similar to that of Catholics and Protestants, calling a polygamist a Mormon is like calling a Presbyterian a Catholic.) Polygamists usually call themselves "Fundamentalists", not "Mormons". And to answer the question: No, definitely not. Polygamists are very conservative. They consider sex a very sacred act and many polygamist groups believe that sex is only for producing children, not for pleasure.

Other polygamists have a home with multiple apartments in it (similar to a duplex or townhome), so that each wife has their own space. It all depends on what the family can afford and what their preferences are.
How do the mormon's wives feel about their husband having more than one wife?
The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints (Mormons) banned polygamy in 1890 and officially began ex-communicating people who practiced polygamy soon after this. Thus, you cannot be Mormon and a polygamist anymore. However, the women who were involved with this were OK with it because they believed it was a commandment from God. Actually I am a Mormon and we were never polygamists to begin with. Some people just broke off and decided they needed more wives and they still think they can call themselves true Mormons. Thus, real morons aren't polygamists.
Why did Mormons immigrate?
They moved to Utah because they were being prosecuted by people.

So they moved to Utah. However Mormons were polygamists at the time, they gave that practice up long ago.

How many polygamists are there in Utah?
It is pretty much impossible to count how many polygamists are in Utah because polygamy is illegal and most polygamists try to hide from the government. Their marriages are not legal and therefore not counted, and in the census all parties are considered single parents. It has been estimated that there are a few thousand polygamists in Utah, most of them living in small towns in central and southern Utah, but there are some living in the suburbs of Salt Lake City.
