Wholesome and open relationships should be normalized. Why aren't they? (Page 4)

[FeminineHSP]

Can you trust your partner with your most shameful past and also your dirty thought patterns? If yes, then good.

[Anonymous]

Because of societal conditions. We're brought up saying it's bad so people just think it's bad.

Though to be clear, I agree it should be normalized (even if I have little to no interest in it, myself).

There is no such thing as hookup culture!! If only 5% of the men are having infinite amount of sexual opportunities, how is that a culture?

[007kingifrit]

because they don't exist, you're just a dumb child who thinks she can have everythin she wants without consequences, as children do

[najekim]

What you have described is a normal, healthy relationship. Not an open relationship which includes other partners.

i prefer open relationships.. they’re so much better and less exhausting

[LiamJHayden]

They aren't because most people are too selfish and lazy to put in the effort required.

[RationalMale]

Because open relationships are toxic and terrible for most people.

I always feel that "normalized" is one of those words that when used alerts you that most of what you're hearing is bs.

[Sovrin]

I like how most people are making a response without actually reading the article.

[Minahh]

Some people just want to suffer I guess that's why they're engaging toxic dynamics

[grega239]

Of course a woman supports an opeb relationship...

[This_Is_My_Opinion8]

Humans are naturally polygamous. Monogamy is a social norma that we invented.

[Kiran_Yagami]

That's not what "open relationship" means.

[Xtendable]

Are you currently in a relationship like this?

[Anonymous]

Nope, it should not be normalized at all. It's cheating.

[Nikki1989]

They are and have been for decades.

[AngelLily]

Open relationships are just cheating.

[SpokenTruth]

You seem to be advocating for fornication.
