I don't want to speak for laga
KT you spoke for me quite well.
Yes poly is a very big catchall for everything from the guy who is monogamously in love with his wife who has other loves to the big old tribe who all love and fuck each other. I don't feel comfortable with the terms "primary" and "secondary" mostly because I don't like the idea of anyone I love being "secondary" but it is probably the most common configuration of poly relationships I have come across. Many poly couples only date as couples. I prefer to date individuals (who are also sometimes coupled). Also I forget who recommended Ethical Slut up there but I second the recommendation.
I can imagine too may either or situations
I totally get this. Plus, I'm WAY WAY WAY too insecure about the one relationship I have. If there were other relationships involved, I'd explode (thanks, Ron) or just kill myself from my over-active imagination.
Aimee = emotional range of a teaspoon.
Yeah. I'm not jealous really, but that's because I trust Mr. Jane. I would be jealous girl all the time if he were involved with someone else.
The only way I can see more than one person at a time is if things haven't gotten serious. Though that was the way I spent much of my teen and early 20 years.

Totally. I could get busy for days with different people, but toss the big emotions in there and that's a big hell to the fuck no.

That would be me. Although I have NO problems letting other people tie up and then inflict pain on my BF, which I guess could be seen as a type of poly, at least in action if not in relationship-ness.
Which is a whole other kettle of kinky fish.

I won these [link] boots!! Yay!!
(I get a treat!)
I think the point where my brain is getting stuck is, "I still haven't found one person who I want to be in a relationship with and who wants to be in a relationship with me, and the process of trying to find someone totally sucks, and there are people who do this multiple times?"
