Yeah, there's no way I'd be able to ethically and consciously maintain 10 relationships. I've seen some women in the poly community have that many connections with various men and women, but I only know of one man who has two nesting partners and a half dozen long distance relationships. I remember a birthday party for him where his wife and live-in girlfriend arranged for all (or nearly all) of his LDR to show up for the party.You're not going to have a stable, loving relationship with 10 women in real life. I'll never understand men that think like this, but it's simply not going to happen. Those women won't all love you neither would they all be ok with the idea of sharing you. If I'm going to give myself to a man, I'd be hard-pressed to share him with anyone else. That's simply not how life works. And if you haven't figured out by now, this AVN is aiming more towards being realistic than unrealistic. At least as far as love and relationships goes.
In my 20s, I had dreams of having the connections this man has, but I in practice, more than three would really be a logistical nightmare for me. Most of my life, if I've had more than one partner, I've only had two.
Ten local partners is definitely a fantasy. Even more unrealistic considering most players refuse to play a game where those partners sometimes have other partners...
