Four-partner polyamorous union uses ‘intimacy calendar’ to keep love life balanced

Brazilian polyamorous partners have revealed how a structured intimacy schedule helps them manage their unconventional relationship and family life.
Kel Macettare, 41, and Bruno Cordisco, 42, have been together since high school and share a home with their two sons, Henry (19) and Hector (13).
The couple later opened up their marriage and formed romantic relationships with Diego Machado and Jennifer de Faria.
Machado now lives with them full-time, while de Faria visits regularly on weekends.
To maintain harmony and balance, the household uses two calendars: one for general family responsibilities and another dedicated to scheduling intimate time between partners.
“Kel and I have intense chemistry and we’re intimate every day,” Cordisco told NeedToKnow.
“We save weekends for our other partners, which keeps the excitement alive during the week.”
The concept of a “sex calendar” was born after Macettare began feeling left out when de Faria was spending more time with Cordisco.
“I felt like our connection was fading,” she explained. “Creating a schedule helped restore balance and gave everyone equal time.”
The couple says the system has strengthened their communication, enhanced intimacy, and helped all partners feel respected and prioritized.
On weekdays, Macettare and Cordisco focus on each other, while weekends are reserved for their additional partners.
To maintain privacy and boundaries, the adults sometimes stay in motels or rented spaces.
When all four partners are at home, they rotate sleeping arrangements in different rooms.
This scheduling approach is not unique. In New York, Jay and Sofia Lyons, a couple living on the Upper West Side, have used a similar method for decades.
“It’s made our relationship one million times better,” said Jay, an Emmy-winning director.
