Keeping the full context in mind when thinking about romantic relationships is very difficult BECAUSE sex is involved, so it's not surprising that most people choose to evade the issue, to avoid "complication", and separate sex from romantic relationships.

Does polygamy actually refer to multiple romantic relationships, though, or to a "serious" romantic relationship between two people who've agreed they can also randomly fuck whomever else they wish?

If you can't maintain one romantic relationship, what makes you think you can maintain two?

A sexual, platonic relationship is a contradiction in terms.

That's why it never works out in reality, only in our minds, in our imagination, in fantasy, in art, in untested theory sans practical application of that theory.

Sex is too intimate, too psychologically-revealing, to be the basis for even the most "casual" of relationships.

I don't see any reason why someone can't healthily maintain multiple romantic relationships, but anyone who thinks a sexual relationship is not a serious relationship is deluded intellectually, repressed emotionally and lost morally.
