If my SO says that he would love a second woman in bed, I'll think about it. If I feel I can share him and we find someone we both find hot it might happen. If he wants to have several women for life, married, serious relationship, kids, house, everything, he will have to find a different gal than me.
I really can't imagine how anyone can live with several partners without multiplying all problems. It's hard enough to work through problems, time issues, money lacking in one relationship.
And I don't think that there are many out there who can be happy with as many sex mates as their hearts (or other body parts) desire on the long run. Those older than me people (like aunts and such) that are alone, without partner and kids, seem older, more stressed, unhappy.
Again, that depends on the individual. I wasn't necessarily advocating polygamy as such, but it works for some people. For others, swinging makes more sense. I'm more of a swinger right now. However, my point was that most people don't really desire to swear off all other sex partners but one.
Are there people that have a hard time with this? Certainly. But most of it is social conditioning, expectations, etc. Even the tendency to cheat (which I deplore) is a reflection of the conflict between Nature and social mores. Like I said, humanity is insane. We have put ourselves in a Catch 22 situation.
