No, you're doing it wrong

Why is it that monogamous people always imagine that non-monogamy is some kind of non-stop parade of exotic sex? Do you people somehow imagine that because I have multiple partners, I've also invented a way to split each 24 hour period into multiple mini-days wherein I work a full time job, spend sufficient time with my wife, pursue my hobbies and interests, AND have orgies with international women of mystery?

Bullshit.

Time and energy are both finite resources, and in many ways, finite resources are the natural enemy of polyamory.

Discuss.

Definitely got that one before, though in my case it is accurate because I do have a parade of exotic sex quite frequently. In my experience, married couples have the most trouble with this assumption because there is the swinger association of NSA sex. When it comes to time management I tend to be selfish so that I don't end up exhausted and emotionally drained. Nature will limit the number of partners you have since the more you have, and I leave it to Her good graces.
