You can’t talk people who aren’t down for that kind of thing into ethical nonmonogamy. That just doesn’t work. Trying it repeatedly is already bad enough, don’t go for another round of this.
I also think the whole “i would keep other relationships entirely sexual” thing would be a really bad start. A lot of poly people consider it a red flag when somebody wants to date them under that kind of premise, knowing that they’re intended as a side gig to a serious relationship. What if they develop feelings for you? What if you develop feelings for them?
Also, the idea that bi people “need to explore” and can’t be in a monogamous relationship is a really shitty biphobic stereotype, honestly makes this entire post come off as a poorly thought out troll. You do not have to sleep with every gender you’re attracted to to understand your sexuality.
