We use a similar rule of thumb, and nobody objects to S (though we could do without his opinion that there's a Single Person behind us all somewhere. That irritates all of us, and we're working to convince him otherwise). We also have a one-body/one-romantic-involvement policy. However, we don't specify that everyone be involved with the SO.
That last is where part of the problem is. Kathru is in love with S. The rest of us aren't looking for romantic relationships, but since Kat prefers to spend so much time in his presence, the rest of us feel like we should gain experience interacting with him. We could just mimic Kat, but that wouldn't exactly be ethical of us.
