Quick thoughts on Pagan Bisexual Polyamory

As a pagan grows in faith and realizes more and more Thou Art God/dess, does it then become easier to develop an affectionate and sexually appreciative relationship with people of all sexes? As the Divine in everyone becomes increasingly apparent, does it become almost an act of revering Deity to experience pleasure with all genders? Judy Harrow states in Jennifer Hunter's Rites of Pleasure, "In my belief, our Pagan path is the path of pleasure, which means that it's the path of gratitude. The essential practice of our spirituality is to appreciate all the good and beautiful things," (page 1.)

As the majority of Pagans are not monotheists, and are usually able to revere a number of Deities, does this translate into being able to fully and respectfully appreciate more than one (human) God/dess at a time? Many Pagans who work with a Patron Deity do not usually work with this Deity exclusively for their entire lives, so how does this affect hand-fasted and other long-term/short-term commitments?

So much to think about...
