Five in one bed

Something very practical now. How do you share one bed with five poeple? How do you make sure you ever get asleep? Giving the fact that getting asleep with one partner can be tricky sometimes, how is a bed with five snoaring and wriggling people ever going to be quiet enough to make all of them easily get asleep? Maybe the only solution is to have each of the five take his or her own room and have quiet nights alone ...

And what about sex? Suppose one of the five persons, suddenly wants sex. Do you get out of bed and take 'the other room'? Or in the case of five sleeping rooms, do you knock on the door and discover another person was a bit quicker? Or do you make arrangements, e.g. monday for A, tuesday for B, ... or a reservation list? And than have sex all together on saterday evening?

I welcome your suggestions.

hehe, you just need a room in which the flooring is just made of matresses ;-)

Seriously, the chances that all 4 will want to have sex with you every night are not extremely high. The chances that you will want to have sex every day are also not extremely high. You may have sex more frequently than other men, but you will (being a business life) also often be home late, when not all 4 will still be awake. Some of the 4 may also be home late regularly. I doubt setting scheduals like 'A on Monday, B on Tuesday' is likely to work. What should A do with herself when she is all wet and horny for you on Wednesday? And what if D has a headache on 'her' evening? Or C is ill or depressed and needs your care and support, while it's A's night?

In a 'normal' (healthy monogamous) relationship, sex comes spontaneously, it's not something you 'schedule'. I think the same counts for a poly relationship. If 2 of the 4 are horny, it will not bother them to share you now and then, as long as it's not each and every time. On the other hand, I am sure they will be able to understand if you don't feel sexual when you come home after a late dinner, again: as long as it's not every night.

On the other hand, they might get bored if they don't 'get it' often enough, while you will rather want less than more. I think it would take a lot of energy to maintain the swing and excitement in the sexual relationships with each of them, in the long run.

Back to the practical side: I think it would be better if each had a room of their own, not only because it may not be possible to always sleep in the same room, but also because each may want to keep a sense of privacy, a little space of their own. But inevitably you would need a super-king-size bed in your room, where all can join in for sex, or just a cuddle, or breakfast in bed when the situation lends itself to it.

Rubens would have loved to paint it for you :-)
