Meh. People are polyaffectionate. Sex is special from a cultural point of view, but the number of monogamists I know whose pair bond is stressed by their partners’ fishing buddies or schoolgirl friendships … is quite large.

There is a reason the evil mother-in-law is a trope, and it comes down to “sharing is hard and people don’t negotiate boundaries well”.

My position is stronger. People in general are polyaffectionate in practice, even though most people aren’t polysexual or polyromantic.

Yes, I think that's true, but my point is that I think that cultural blocks on polysexuality and polyromance are part of what makes being polyaffectionate so fraught - it creates dangerous failure modes that needn't be there.
