If I ever decide to move on a relationship with someone, we both have to be exclusive for each other. I am already someone jealous and dominating, I wouldn't be cool about it.
It doesn't mean I am someone repressive or who expects her partner to follow his orders, but I am just serious and it is either a serious relationship or not.
I do believe in equality in a relationship, but there wasn't anything like my girlfriend would do anything she desired with her freedom. There are some limits for some things.

bad in my opinion, takes the intimacy of a relation out of it. For me the only reason to have a relationship is to be bound to a person I love, to build trust to that person and to have her to myself.
I don't think open relationships are good. I'm more in line with friends with benefits. I feel that if you are emotionally attached to a person and want to date them, then there shouldn't be the option to go out and see other people.
To me it defies the whole point of a relationship. But as long as I'm not involved, it's none of my business.

It's not for me under any circumstances, but if consenting adults are comfortable with it, who am I to judge?
It's only a good idea if you BOTH want it. If one of you has any doubts, then it is a time bomb waiting to go off.
It depends from couple to couple, some couples find it more convenient to be in an open relationship where they get to express more physical desires with other people which often bonds their own relationship with trust and even physical pleasure, for example couples that partake in swinging etc. while other couples jealousy may be too much of a factor and can over power the general βprosβ of an open relationship, it depends on the couple and their ability to deal with their partner being with other people...
I think it can work just fine.
But it definitivly doesn't work for everyone.
Both he and she need to be able to handle their partner having more then one partner.
For some it only works that one of the two are permitted to have multiple partners but not that the other one does.
And sometimes one might be able to handle it but the terms that they're able to handle it with don't work for the other.
You should make sure that you truly trust the guy before trying this out and you two need to have confidence in your relationship with eachother.
If you feel that your relationship is threathened by him having sex with or even loving someone else then perhaps you're not cut out for that kind of relationship.I think it's good for a few months but then it really comes down to making a final decision whether to be with that person on a more committed basis or to leave him and live life as a single. Even if you are in an open relationship, you tend to meet other guys and girls and often get involved in sex. People in an open relationship tend to develop strong feelings and that where the problem lies. If one person tends to fuck around then the other person may get depressed. I tried it once but it didn't go well. I would prefer to be in an open relationship only if we both decide to take a decision whether we want to commit to each other or just remain friends or friends with benefits. It would be better than the emotional drama.
hi, after a few years of marriage things can get a little stale, though that didn't happen to us, we first started talking about other sexual benefits in line with just bedroom talk,
we can now have extra sx fun with others but with the others approval it works for us but I would say 60-70% of the time it doesn't work for people,HELLNO
It is not a good idea..
Here are some questions u need to ask yourself :
1. Do you truly love your SO?
2. Do you want to cheat on him and him cheat on you?
3. Do you want someone else to touch him anyway shape and form?
4. Do you want someone to touch you anyway shape and form?
Why would u want to have a so called open relationship ..
I mean basically it is cheating..
And basically it is telling your SO that he is not good enough for you.
Don't do it
U will regret itIt's a bad idea for several reasons if your partner is hooking up with other people they can contract STDs, one of you may grow feelings for someone else, one of you may want to stop and other doesn't. While your away from each other you might be thinking about the people whom may be hooking up with your partner. It can cause major jealousy issues and trust.
They wouldn't be good all the time it would just depend on the girl... I used to work with a girl and we ended up being friends with benefits. Because she had a boyfriend and I had a a girlfriend. But we just had really good sex but it would never work being in a relationship with her
prevents man or women being cheated on iam in an open realastionship i like it a lot sept it is hard to find a girl with a drive as high and open minded to teach and learn behind doors
whatever float's people boat, but its not my cup of tea, never was and never will be
Hopefully good; it would be nice if people were more open to their inner sexuality and didn't try to own their partner like sexual property. Humans naturally are attracted to multiple people, not just one.
False
Im clingy and jealous and fiesty so the other girl will need to visit the hospital shortly after her encounter with my boyfriendIf my girlfriend propose me an open relationship, I'll break up immediatly. That means she wants to fuck other guys, and I'm not ok with it. But she'll do it anyway at some point, whether I want it or not, so better leave before.
It could be a good thing. I'm sure it depends on the type of people you and your partner are and how much you trust each other.
Definitely good if both are mature enough to deal with that. Why not? Monogamy is a bit of a naive ideal
It depends on the couple. I used to have one and it was fine. But you need another level of trust and communication to make it work
I think dating is ok to do like that but to say I'm in a relationship with someone, it should be just between them according to me anyways
I don't see the point. Why be in an open relationship when you can just casually date while single? I mean?
I don't really see the point of this because to me it has no different than a friends with benefits thing. The only difference is fwbs don't date each other or spend time with one another except in the bed.
