To me, the idea of being in a relationship but not being exclusive seems self-defeating. Why be in a relationship if you want to have sex with more than one partner? Yes, I do understand that a relationship is not JUST about sex and that you can have emotional closeness with a partner who - for whatever reason - is not capable of having sex. However, for most couples, sex is a means of expressing their love for each other, for being closer, for reinforcing their bonds of intimacy, and sometimes for dissipating the tensions that may have arisen from a conflict. If you are having sex with other partners, I would think the positive power of sex in your relationship would be diluted. And. . . wanting other women would send a message to my partner that she is not good enough to satisfy me. In fact, I have had several long term relationships, and the right woman - by herself - is enough for me.
I realize that other people may feel differently about this subject and this is not meant as an attack on anyone who practices an open relationship. It is simply my feelings and what works for me in a relationship.0 1 0 0

He's shared me, but I'm way too jealous to share him.
0 0 0 0This is not an attack but I am just curious because when I was allowed another woman, I felt like not allowing her the same freedom she gave me made me hypocritical and selfish. Did you ever feel that?
You can imagine my relief when she flat out refused to let another man touch her lol.
No, it's a valid question, and I know it often seems like it's selfish to a lot of people. It's all about what each of you are comfortable with. I would have totally understood if he wasn't ok about bringing in another guy, because that's how I feel about bringing in another girl. So one kind of threesome works for us, and the other doesn't. I think they've got to work for both partners, for it to be a plan you can work with?
