It will never work if one person wants to use it as an avenue to get the other in a relationship.
It will never work if one person ALWAYS views sex as something more than just... sex.
It will never work if one person agrees to have sex when they don't really feel like it.

Most of my friends are into the Poly scene, so I am surrounded by a lot of "free love" these days. Its hard to take other people seriously when they put so much weight into sex.
