Was interviewed about #polyamory last night and was asked what the keys are for making a poly relationship work. I'm curious to hear how folks might respond to this for a media interview.
IMHO, good poly requires 1) individual traits of high intelligence, openness, conscientiousness, & emotional stability, 2) strong relationship norms (clear agreements, boundaries, priorities, & commitments), 3) technologies (Google calendar, OKCupid, STI tests, contraception)

I agree with most of this. Not sure about high intelligence & technologies but plausible theories. Adding to #2, thinking of
@sentientist's comments in her@Rspodcast where she mentioned having something that makes the relationship special/unique to sustain poly relationships. -

Why high intelligence? Are you trying to keep polyamory away from the masses?

That venn diagram barely intersects! Poly is clearly never going to be a successful mainstream lifestyle
