      by intimate relationships they mean like with your family and friends, not sexual relationships. They're referring to emotional intimacy. They're saying you're only allowed to be emotionally intimate with up to 1 or 2 people (like your parents) any more than that is "too many"

      either that or they're saying you can't have had more than 2 sexual relationships in your past. In which case that's not poly, since you're moving from one exclusive relationship to another.

      There's a belief that having many sexual partners in the past means that a woman will lack the ability to pair bond. Some brain chemistry thing.
