Actually, my experience is the opposite: when you're used to being sexually involved with more than one person, lovers' names cease to be noises you make out of habit whenever you're aroused and come to refer to the actual individuals in question. Being non-monogamous, you may discover that when you're in bed with someone, you're present with that person as an individual, rather than as a role in your life, more so than you would be with a girlfriend or boyfriend. If that doesn't prove to be the case for you, there's nothing that says you have to go to bed with more than one person at a time to be non-monogamous?or even with anyone, for that matter. Non-monogamous and celibate, that's a legitimate option, too, with a lot to recommend it.

A BUNCH OF PEOPLE WHO DON'T CREATIVITY IngredieittS
KNOW EACH OTHER, BUT SHOULD FoLiow-THRouGH? Optional, hut a nice bonus
All of us know a few people who would be the best of friends if they only knew each f ftStrif CtfOfis
other. One fun way to take care of a lot of these introductions all at once is to throw what I've dubbed a Mutual Strangers Party in which you gather them all in one room in a deliberate attempt to provide a catalyst for a blossoming and long-lasting friendship or several. You can announce these intentions of yours, if you have a sort of social-activist motivation, presenting a manifesto or otherwise making explicit your goals for the party; or you can simply provide the crudites or crumpets, and let your guests do the work. The problem with friendships born in this way of course, is their fragility, and the likelihood that one or both parties will fail to pursue each one, so you might want to think of some ways to encourage your guests to make solid friendships of these tentative beginnings; some rapidly brainstormed suggestions include supplementary activities scheduled for a later date, a list of names and phone numbers to distribute, a homework assignment such as a gift exchange ... At the very least, with so many wonderful people in one room, it should be a fabulous party! ^^^
