That's the key point that seems implausible to me. Sex tends to create emotional bonds, crowding out other bonds. Poly folks might be selected for weaker such effects, but the sign of such effects seem pretty universal to me.
This all depends on whether you think emotional bonds are zero sum. I mention the problem in discussing time & resource trade-offs. IMHO if we can love more than one kid, have more than one friend, etc., we might be able to sustain more than one relationship...
As I said, I think sex-induced bonds crowd each other out. That's not quite the same as zero sum, but has the relevant effects here. Even if we can sustain more than one sex relation, they will each be weaker than they otherwise would be if exclusive.
I'm just not convinced that exclusivity typically makes for stronger relationships, at least not across all the distributions of individual differences traits. Poly couples _can_, sometimes, have forms of connection and honesty that monogamist couples often can't imagine.
Is there any research on procreation and parental bonding in long term poly relationships? This is an area where I wonder how it would manage. I expect adults can negotiate sexual relationships with each other. I am not sure about parental/filial ones being as easy.
There's very little research on that, and one big motive for writing this article was to try to spark more research on poly's long-term family implications.
