Are you straight? If so, has said relationship been successful for a while? I think Gene Roddenbury is the only non-fictional male I've heard of who has been in a successful polyamorous relationship with women.

When you're gay, things are much simpler in such relationships, so that seems to be annectodally more common. Probably selection bias, though.

I am quite straight. The opportunity has been there many times, and I've had no desire to take it. My partner is bisexual, but the vast majority of her experiences have been with other men. It's been just over two years now.

I have a feeling your intuition regarding homosexuality is probably true, at least from what I've seen.
