Care to elaborate on the unicorn type-arrangement? Are there like primarily sex-motivated unicorn arrangements out there
?

I sadly pretty much don't come at all if I don't feel passionate about my partner

But lust is not my primary motivation those times and I would never do that for just someone, because what I get out of it are precisely those oxytocins and warm fuzzy feelings.
I think there are quite a few folks out in the New to Poly sections with 'OMG, we tried an open relationship/swinging and then shit hit the fan and love feelings happened'
-experiences. I personally prefer to stay out of 'we can never have an actual relationship, but let's have lots of HAWT sex instead'-arrangements, because frankly, then the sex isn't so HAWT for me anymore.
