This. It's not one of my kinks.
I'm not really attracted to it, either, so it's not likely I'd choose someone who would want to share me, sexually.
Shared to provide care or service is something that is common in most relationships, the only real difference might be the handling of the "order/asking". If my (person on top) wanted me to help their buddy and their (person on the bottom), they would likely "ask" me in the same way, whether that was a vanilla relationship or not. "Baby, we want to have a party, and want you girls to do the prep and cooking, etc, then get dressed, and be cute and charming. ok?" or something along the lines of "My buddy (or our friend) is in some form of need, please make some soup and bring it to them, bring their children to school, etc". (understanding that the only difference here is the implied option for me to say no - which is no more an option in a vanilla relationship than a power exchange one, I don't think).
I think there is a great deal of assumption that everything in a (kink/BDsm) relationship is sexual, and that is just not the case for many. Sure, for some it's a bedroom only dynamic (I have no experience with that and can't speak to it), but for many, it's just like, life, and relationship. We have friends of all flavors - we attend PTO meetings, raise our kids, clean the bathroom, and the dungeon, catch a cold, jog, whatever - same as everyone else on the block...
We all "share" our people, to some extent - The line is something that should be a part of any early on negotiations, even if it's going to be a blurry line, for a long time, maybe forever. It's just about defining it - open/poly/monogamous/whatever.
that's my 2 cents.
