While it may work better for "bent" (non-straight, bent, same derision implied)
people, polyamory certainly doesn't exclude "straight" people. Men sharing
women while the women share men CAN work (not that I've tried it, but I wouldn't
exclude it from the possibilities if I found a man that I could completely trust
with my wife. There's one man I would, but I have VERY high standards, and I
wouldn't hold him or my wife to standards that I wouldn't accept myself, and I'm
still too selfish a person at this time.).
