It wasn't Kunti, it was Draupadi, the wife of five Pandavas. Kunti was their mother. And although her Draupadi was known socially as wife of all the five brothers and respected equally, she had relations only with Arjuna, the man who won her swayamwar. The acknowledgement of being wife to five brothers was jsut to pay respect to words of their mother Kunti. When Arjuna brought Draupadi at his hut (Pandavas were on exile during the period), he jokingly asked his mother to look at the wonderful thing he brought. The mother without taking a look ordered them to share the thing. With all due respects to their mothers words, they acknowledged her as their socially dignified wife. And with all due respect for Draupadi's feelings, she was allowed to maintain the marital relations only with Arjuna.
All the best...

I assume you are talking about Polyandry ( If that is correct, then I sure did Some Major Deciphering)....
There is a good overview of Polyandry at:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Polyandry
And has some good discussion of what the terms refer to in english.
As to wether the woman in each case enjoyed it, well, I don't think that the women overall gave their views. Certainly the one phrase that covers some people is "serial Polygamy" that is, over the course of time, a spouse ( of whatever kind) had multiple Mates or Spouses. Keeping in Mind that Polyandry refers to females with Multiple Male mates, and polygyny is one Male with Multiple Female Mates ; in the behaviour of some groups, this does occur over time, but not at one time, at least not in documented cases... unless you take certain Mormon and other references as useful references. Anyways, it certainly seems that the Males usually get the Better end of the deal ( no pun intended), so I would assume that A Woman with 5 Simultaneous Male mates is either going to be extremely tired or extremely unhappy, and very open to Tubal Ligation :-)

There is a basic difference in sexual partner selection between men and women. Women want to be sired by the most eligible bachelor for her protection and her children. Usually bothers or twins have similar genetic make up and similar qualities. So when she opt for more than one spouse, it is always better for her have brothers as in Mahabharath.

I'm pretty good at deciphering mangled English, but I don't have any idea what you're saying.
Run that through a translator site or something. A Babel Fish?

dear Friend,
Why do you ask questions in this way?What do you want to know?Read Mahabharath in your mother tongue,and you will know the answer yourself.
Or tell some body your question and get it how to write in English , then post it here.Without knowing who Droupadi is and who Kunti is why you question , I wonder.
Read Maha Bharath..or see the movie if you can...or hear from elders .Then you will have basic knowledge of the epic.try to get your doubts cleared with elders near you who are educated and who know MahaBharat.
Please kindly read Maha Bharath once please.
