Some people are monogamous and enjoy exclusivity. You said ideal many times in the post, with an ideal match, why would you need anything else?

So does familiarity, and the feeling someone has become a part of you. :)

Think it depends. Obv novelty is just a totally different thing than core person. Issue I could see is how does that warp perspective of the core interaction? Can argue it shouldn't, but I'd imagine it would and whether that's good or bad is debatable. Hard to answer realisticaly

Novelty is always fun. But your question was strongly framed as idealistically ideal and in that ideal world your partner is/feels always novel and fun. In a less ideal world or frame, sure, you’d optimise for staying curious, open, fun… still hard but easier than perfect love

Might be fun, but I know I'd wind up feeling guilty. Even if she told me she was ok with me doing it. And the only thing that feels worse than wronging your wife is wronging your child.
