I think poly relationships are difficult because of the way we have been brought up to believe in the one true love...

But do any of us even begin to question our ability to love all of our children? Do we ask if we can find time to share equally among them all? Are there sibling rivalries?

Change a few words and you're asking the very same kinds of questions about poly life, and the same holds true with regards to having multiple interlocking D/s relations.

I don't see why it shouldn't work if everyone involves is communicating.

I'm not so sure about that. Sure the monogamy myth is cultivated in our culture, but that only explains a part of it. What about plain old jelousy? I don't believe their are people who aren't jelous at all. Some are just better at dealing with it than others.

Off-course there's always sibling rivalry which always boils down to jelousy. Getting more or less than siblings was when I was little a constant on-going battle. I'm certain that none of us always felt as equaly loved as the other siblings. Humanity is a greedy bunch, and denying it is just sweeping the problem under the carpet.

True true, but that's also the problem. I've never seen it happen. I have on TV, but that doesn't really count.
