If women were expected to choose a different sire for each child...

(This thread is directed at women who like the idea of having children, so if you're not in that group but you want to respond to the thread, you should specify what other group you are in.)

What types of men would you want to pick to sire your kids? Imagine this is an amazonian sort of tribe where all available men live in a barracks and are property of the tribe, though upperclass women can have personal male harems if they want. As a woman your "matriotic duty" to the tribe is to have at least three children, and they give you a bonus if you have five.

So, do you want a male harem, or do you prefer to borrow a different man each night you are in the mood? Would you pick the same general type of guy to sleep with all the time, or a variety of types? Are there some you would sleep with but not want a child by? Some you'd want a child by but not really enjoy sleeping with? Would you want to rebel and have all your children by the same guy or two?

When I was at college, I shared an apartment with three guys and over a one year period slept with all of them.

I thought a lot about getting pregnant by each of them in turn, although that never happened.

That sounds like an experience you'll reminisce about when you are 80. So, were the 3 guys similar, or different in some notable way?
