Besides, the math can make the picture a bit clearer: 24 hours to a day, take away 8 hours for sleep, toilet, eat and all that just has to be done (a rather conservative estimate). That leaves 16 hours or 960 minutes (if the Dom in question doesn't have to move a finger to earn a living, that is) which leaves you exactly 96 minutes/day max if you're one of the ten girls.
But then again, with you it's 11 girls, so that leaves you with 87.27 minutes/day.
If that's enough for you, fine. If not, move on.

Apart from that, Denuseri's got it spot on, in my opinion.
Interestingly, that's the "easiest" math involved. And I agree, because if all are equal, that's not enough time to call a relationship, imo. The more interesting math is that of open communications. (n-1)! A real relationship requires open communications and as the number of people who need to interact rises, the number of communication lines rises factorially. (the "!" in the previous equation.) Slightly less if not all of the people interact, but you get the drift.

10 people require 45 lines of communications, and that's just the pairings.
