I've always thought that people would find graph theory more interesting if only the problems were presented in a sexual nature.
My college friend group not only drew the "who's having sex with whom" chart, they recorded it as tuples and ran least path analysis algorithms on it.
It is a source of much frustration to me that people tend to use polyamory when what they are actually participating in is polyfuckery.
Here's the thing I really don't understand: why do you care? It's certainly useful to make a distinction when, say, responding to requests for relationship advice. But outside of that, and outside of negotiating commitment with one's partners, when does the distinction matter?
