Openeyes, thanks for the clarification!
Even though I don't think I'd be comfortable in that situation, I actually kind of like the idea of having a circle of cuddlebugs.
Touch is very important, and of course it isn't always sexual.
I also don't find the idea of having several intimate partners one after another to be a particularly bad idea -- it's just the idea of having them concurrently that boggles my mind.

I see what you mean, here. And I agree that it's a bad and all-too-common misconception to hold. I feel very lucky to be in a relationship that's probably as devoid of jealousy as a relationship can be -- which means, for example, that I can go out dancing with my guy friends without my boyfriend making me feel that I'm cheating on him. So, he fulfills certain aspects of my personality, but I still have room to have a social group that enjoys clubbing (which he doesn't).
Anyway, thanks for being keen to discuss the issue. I really appreciate your feedback.
