Unfortunately, after writing a long reply I accidentally discovered that accidentally pressing Ctrl + W closes Firefox without asking. So I will repeat the essence:
When monogamy is a society’s official norm, polyamory is self-selected minority. Maybe the selection process now causes something that would disappear if more people become poly. For example, maybe for women with higher sex drive polyamory is more attractive. Also maybe for sexually passive men who enjoy the idea of their love having sex with another male (while emotionally staying in love with them) polyamory is attractive. This could explain how one woman could satisfy three men… if two of them are only watching.
Maybe women have the same sex drive as men, but still they are more picky. Even if a women would be able to fully sexually satisfy three top-quality men, I don’t assume that an average woman would do the same thing for three average men. Maybe she would rather wait in line for her “five minutes with alpha”. Most men would like the opportunity of having sex with many average women; women don’t dream about having sex with many average men.
But this is all just a speculation. I would like to see a polyamorous society that survives 10 years.
