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.

What else can I help you with?
Are there anti Mormon polygamists?
Yes. Although most polygamists are not 'anti' Mormon, they are simply 'non' Mormon. The Polygamists who consider themselves part of the LDS/Mormonism movement do not agree with the teachings of the mainstream Mormon Church, the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They generally don't fight or protest against the Church, but both sides do try to draw a line of distinction between their faiths, each believing the other to be apostate. Polygamy exists in other cultures and religions as well, such as Islam and Christianity. Most of these polygamists are also not 'anti' Mormon, they simply have their own beliefs.

Are all Mormons polygamists?
Actually... NO Mormons are polygamists! The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (commonly called the "Mormon" church) banned the practice of polygamy in 1890. Anyone found entering into a polygamous relationship for the past 120 years has been excommunicated from the Church. Those you may see in the media (such as the groups in Texas, Utah and British Columbia, or those on "Big Love") who are called "Mormon Fundamentalists" or "Mormon Polygamists" are NOT members of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They are those people who have been excommunicated from the Church for practicing polygamy. Often those who are excommunicated form their own religious groups. The term "Mormon Fundamentalist" and "Mormon Polygamist" are incorrect and actually against the official Associated Press newsmedia style guide, but are used either out of ignorance or because of popular public opinion.

What are polygamists?

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.

Polygamists lost the right to belong to the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (the "Mormon" church) in 1890. The only law that directly affected the children occurred in 1887, in which children of polygamists lost the right to inherit property from their parents.
