Personally believe in monogamy. Find one on one relationships more satisfying.
It works if everyone is on the same page and are wired the similarly. It takes trust, a strong self-esteem, brutal honesty, and a lot of love. You have to be adaptable and know that things can change quickly. A person can find someone they want to be in a monogamous relationship with and you have to let them go. You might lose sexual interest and it changes the relationships. It is pretty complex yet very simple. If you think it is just about sex, then it is not for you. Having multiple options can be a plus and a minus...nobody should dive in without doing some real thinking about it.
Agree...it cannot be just about sex. It must be authentic and the communication must be next level.
Toxic.
Why?
I've known some people who've been burned by it.
I mind my own business.

Not against it for others. I dated a lady who considered herself polyamourous and it was fine except she wanted to consider her and I as the main relationship with occasional hook ups with other partners. Not my style on that, I am in casual relationship that last until one finds someone else, though neither of the ladies is looking at the moment. Not at all a planned or intentional arrangement. Nothing hidden though,
