Like so many things in our lives, non-monogamous activity can be cyclical. There are times when we're out there dating a ton and boning all the sexy people, when we have the time and energy to enjoy the sexy connections we have made and will make.

Yet there are other times when we need to pull back for a myriad of reasons, when time or energy are at a premium, and we need to do less. When the cycle comes 'round again, you'll be more likely to be ready to jump back on the express train to sexytown.
