A study from Melbourne’s La Trobe University entitled “Countering The Monogamy-Superiority Myth” has discovered that non-monogamous people aren’t significantly more sexually satisfied than monogamous people. This was true for both for heterosexual and LGBTQ+ participants.
Imagine the logistics of having more than one better half, how organised you’d have to be. And, let’s be honest, how patient. I’ve been married for 14 years, and although, of course, I love him and all that, the man drives me absolutely insane. More than one of him leaving cupboard doors open and asking where things are sounds like a particularly effective torture technique, not an enticing lifestyle choice. And in fairness to him (let the record show), this isn’t specific to my husband. Anyone will get on your nerves over the years, as the first flush of love fades into something more… realistic, shall we say, and somebody needs to clean up the cat puke, and I did it last time.

If everyone is going to have multiple mates, and they’re all going to have multiple mates too, there will undoubtedly need to be some kind of flow chart to keep track of it all which, by the way, must be regularly updated. That’s probably one thing no one considers when embarking on polyamory: the admin.

That settles it. Regardless of sexual satisfaction, polyamory is not for us. I definitely don’t want him putting his plates in anyone else’s dishwasher, and that both is and isn’t a euphemism.
