Yes, it's attractive, and yes, it's complicated, and yes, you should go for it, if it's something that appeals to you. As someone in a semi-open relationship (we have some pretty clear ground rules and lots of communication) I can say that the hassle and complications are worth the reward if everyone is willing to deal absolutely openly and honestly with the inevitable issues that will come up.
Read "The Ethical Slut" - I've heard it's a good primer on making non-monogamy work.
