Come one... cum all? - Poly/Open relationships & why I support the lifestyle.

"To live is an awfully big adventure..."

An open relationship is defined as being an intimate relationship between two or more people that is not sexually monogamous.

However when you actually speak to people who live the lifestyle, each and every perspective differs drastically. Personally I believe that as long as you are openly honest about your interactions then it should not really matter if emotions also play a role in a quick one night stand, provided that that's all it is and your main partner stays exactly just that...

I also believe that those who put down the lifestyle by using words statement's like, "they just want to have their cake and eat it too", or "it's an insult to their partner, how could they feel like they are enough?'... are merely projecting their own judgements and painting the lifestyle in a negative manner all because they do not agree with it, which absolutely makes my blood boil as to me that's a petty form of manipulative behaviour to try and control the other person, which leads to us asking ourselves "at what point does the compromising become a twisted game at a bid for power and control over the other"...

I believe that we aren't going to be around for long and should enjoy every experience possible and if the opportunity arises, I don't believe a ring should come between two people being intimate with one another. I'm not trying to preach love and happiness by tree hugging or humping everyone you see, but I do believe that being intimate with a person and creating a bond through that connection should be something that's shared when felt not swept under the rug in shame...

  • The type of connection I want in a relationship takes time and effort, the sort of connection you get from sex is weak and brittle. I believe that for a proper relationship you don't have time for anyone else.

    If you want multiple partners then that's fine but for me, I want to find the person I want to spend the rest of my life with not the person that gets Tuesdays and Saturdays alternate weeks.

  • Yes, I agree with you. Its a matter of choice and no one should be ashamed about it. Its a fact that people often cheat in a relationship which indicates that some people are not monogamous by nature. If you like multiple people then just confront it to your partner rather than cheating. Just because its considered as one of the taboo topic, people never open up because if they do then surely they will be trolled and insulted for their choice. Monogamy has become an established tradition which is very wrong and doesn't work in everyone's case. I would like to share 1 good video which I came across on youtube :

  • I agree but i do think there are moral limitations. For example, i would not allow my gfs to sleep w other men. That is called cuckoldry and its morally wrong. I would also not want to be swinging gay because man on man is wrong (and lucky it doesn't interest me). Also i wouldn't want to have casual sex with a million girls. I know its my weakness but i dont think thats right. I do believe in commitments. But i do think one man and multiple women is very normal and both my girls agree.

  • those types of relationships

    are for losers

  • Each to their own.. if it works, enjoy it!

  • i wish i could get a girlfriend in to open relationships.. had to look it up

  • Gross

  • I pretty much agree, iam with you

  • I don't know what I want. I'm scared of marriage but even more scared of open relationships. I am very picky and my guy will be my other half. But also I'm scared that what if I get bored?
    But he has to be EXCEPTIONAL if i can actually settle down. If he can keep up with me in adventures, stimulating deep conversations and his love and loyalty then I have no problem in marrying and only committing with him forever.

  • Is that a joke?

  • Just don’t lie latter to a guy or his family. Let them know you are a whore, your kids too. Don’t hide it later, it’s not fair to them.

  • I don't feel like fucking anyone else while being in a loving relationship, if you do, you're probably not even in a good relationship to begin with.
    And I'm a jealous person, I wouldn't want my guy to fuck someone else and I probably couldn't even fuck someone else. It just feels morally wrong.

  • speak for yourself
