There are so many things that could go wrong with you being together with one person. So, imagine 10 of them? That is polyamory for you.
Polyamory is simply put as the engagement in multiple romantic and sexual relationships, with consent from all parties involved. How does it work you ask? You, my friend, have the liberty to have entanglements with several people at a time.
Perhaps ex-billionaire Sam Bankman-Fried can explain it better, since he turns out to be living in a Polycule of 10 in a penthouse in the Bahamas, after his cryptocurrency empire FTX collapsed.

So many things could lead people to be polyamorous; some might crave personal freedom while others may want more emotional intimacy. Here’s another ridiculous one, “it is just the way I was created”. Sorry to break it to you James, but God created man and woman, not men and women.

The question is though, is it not hard to maintain a healthy relationship with that many people, let alone one? Think about it. It is exhausting already that you have to justify yourself to one person, explaining where you are coming from, whom you are calling, and why you left the toilet seat up when you have been warned a billion times.
Well, to each his own, I guess. Although to be completely honest, polyamory sounds like an excuse for infidelity. Reason? If you wanted an emotional connection, you would work on it with your partner instead of getting it elsewhere.
And if it’s the intimacy that isn’t doing it, just to point it out there; there is nothing much about making love that can’t be taught.
So, get in that bedroom, lock the door and start practising on each other. That will save you so much drama that comes with being in a polyamorous relationship when jealousy and politics start to become everyone’s portion because you seem to be spending more time with Jenny than the rest.
