Okay, so first of all, I'm new both to this forum and to the polygamy thing and I'm not poly myself, I'm not even monogamous (I'm asexual). So I watched a TV show recently and it surprised me because at some point three of the characters in it got together in a polygamous relationship, which I found rather interesting and would like to make up a story (daydream form) based on this relationship from the show. Which I'll explain:
Two straight male best friends (let's call them Ron and Cory) happen to fall in love with the same woman after spending time with her separately and together (always as just friends) for a few months, and the woman falls for them both as well. But when the two guys confess their feelings to her and ask her which of them she loves, she says she loves them both, and the boys are left with a WTF kind of face LOL.
So after thinking about it for a while, they decide that they can't accept this kind of relationship (they think it's sick, definitely not normal) so they tell her that they will just stay friends with her. She agrees at first and tells them to have dinner together tonight as friends and the boys agree. That night things escalate to a point that they somehow start making out, but in the process the guys happen to accidentally touch each other once and kiss each other once.
Next morning, they're freaking out. Spend all day thinking about their thing but finally decide that despite the fact that they both liked it (and one of them, Cory, got an erection just thinking about that kiss with Ron, no less lol) they're not gay and can't be part of such a relationship, so they again express their thoughts to the woman. But she as always is very persuasive and strong and basically tells them that fuck normal, they're happy and who cares what anyone else thinks and that she's not asking them to sleep with each other etc., so after this and other discussions in the end they end up in bed together and afterwards they decide to go for it and Cory moves in to Ron and woman's apartment.
Their rules: the woman can be affectionate with just one of the guys regardless whether the other is present or not, but they can't have sex separately, they have to be together (because they want to, as the boys think that something's "missing" when the other is not with them during sex - is that because they may be gay or is this normal in poly relationships?). Well this is basically a quick summary, lots of things happen afterwards but that's beside the point. But anyone wondering how it ends in the show: Cory decides to break up with them and leave for personal reasons, not because he's unhappy with this relationship, and he tells them as much, says that he loves them both to pieces but that he has to move on. Woman and Ron don't want him to go but reluctantly accept it, then Cory hugs them both and leaves.
So this is basically the story (obviously my story would be different, there's no point in making up a story already told XD, but I'd like to establish the same kind of relationship dynamic so that's why I'm asking) and I'd like to know:
1. Is this kind of relationship possible? - (two relatively straight guys and a woman loving each other and being together but with the m/m side being platonic yet only wanting to have sex with all three present and at the same time)
2. Is the guys' relationship with each other possible? (as explained, they eventually only want to have sex when the three are present, they feel like it's a 3ppl relationship not 2, basically act like they're together but without having sex, and when Cory wants to leave which happens several times Ron is heartbroken and wants him to stay, but what should he care if he only loves the woman? he can still be friends with Cory while still in a relationship with the woman which was what he -and Cory- had wanted from the start, I'd think he'd be glad to have her all to himself! so is it possible to be in a sexual relationship with someone and in a platonic one at the same time, in the same relationship but still wanting the platonic partner present during sex for some reason and acting like he's your bf not just your bff who also happens to be fucking your gf? like wtf?)
3. What is this kind of relationship called? - (M/F/M? V? triad? any other terms applicable here?)
