How do open relationships work?
Couples in open relationships want what they get in a traditional relationship such as marraige, kids, home, companionship, love etc but want to be free to f*ck other people. Usually these relationships don't last, how can they. Eventually feelings get hurt, jealousy occurs or feeling for someone else causes a split.
Men will cheat with other women when the opportunity arises but when women do it they are looking for a new partner better than thd one they have.
Open relationships... really, just say we are friends with benefits but don’t tell me you love me and 3 other guys

We're not open sexually but she has her friends and I have a few.
Communication is so vital. Knowing that no one else is a threat to the joy that you have with your partner is absolutely critical. Understanding that no ONE person throughout your whole life can meet ALL of your needs is just basic practicality.
But your partner should have a sacred and secure space. So communication will help you find the boundaries. I gave my wife (then fiance) all the freedom in the world, and she took full advantage of it. Lots of stories there. After our wedding vows we've both been faithful, even though she invited a friend and we had three FMF threesomes. Fun. I'm not interested in any more. To be fair I offered that I'd be okay with a MFM threesome when she wanted...7:years ago. She hasn't taken me up on that yet. We'll see.
I love her, she loves me. Some bodily fluids and grunting doesn't change our love. Flirting and witty banter doesn't change our love. That she is my priority... that will always be, but she can't do EVERYTHING... nor can I for her. But we do so much for each other. Our boundaries are no physical contact with anyone, ever. We are the priority for each other... and if we have time to chat with others, so be it. But we'll both drop the chat to answer any call.
It's not perfect, it's worked for us. My wife does enjoy hearing about what other women want. I enjoy knowing that my wife is found to be very desirable by so many men... and she chooses me every day. I don't control her, she controls herself, as do I.
I hope this helped.
I hope you find what you need m
@DoctorSex if you saw my study and the pics I've posted, I love to travel.
Yes, I use all my senses to enjoy the whole of the experience, not just the visual.
Competition, only to strive to be better.
Martial arts, I broke my back in the military. I've recovered mostly but my mobility is reduced. I can still fight. It helps me stay fit.
Yes, I want more experiences so I can be the coolest grandpa with the best stories.
And can still defend my family
@Andres77
I've never visited your page or profile before. Thank you,
Here is part of your story;
"I once knew a young man who fell stuck on a hole,
On his way to school one beautiful day,
He cried out for HELP!
BUT Received no reception 🤳
Oh who would help this young man who fell
Stuck in a hole..
Till one day he looked up, and heard the Shepard's flute,
And realised he was not in a hole, but the hole was in him,
And he was never stuck again.
Thank you friend.
Kind regards,
Honesty.
For example: I have a friend who is polyamorous and his girlfriend slept around with his best friend. He didn’t care that she slept with him, he just cared that they were sneaky about it and pretended they weren’t having a good time with each other.
Never been in one but that's easy. Faithful means remaining loyal and steadfast. Is is not loyal if both of you have agreed upon terms that suits your needs and are sticking to it? Therefore if you've both agreed to been open then that is loyalty between each other and by extension faithful.
It's all about the verbal contract, just like in a regular monogamous relationship. The rules get set, so just play by them... otherwise, YOU ARE CHEATING. For instance in a swinger relationship if private pillow talk isn't allowed, then texting in private is obviously going to be a problem... and if that problem goes undiscovered, it will just get worse and worse until it does.
Usually you have a set of rules on how this works for you. Usually you can date or have sex with others and it's not cheating. I am in one with another woman. We spend all our time together. If she is busy with work or school then I can be with someone else if I want.
@rebeliouse thanks
Because there's a difference being in an open relationship is different than friends with benefits because you actually show the person love and not just friendship you just love more than one person it's just that's just how it works it's polyamorous lifestyle!
I have no idea how that is done in a male female relationship. What happens when the girl says "Guess what Honey? We are pregnant!". Do they break open the champagne and chat about whether it was the black guy or white guy or the Asian guy... wasn't he a little terrier!. Well I suppose we'll have a nice color surprise at the birth.".
An Australian Prime Minister contender (who failed) claimed that when his wife decided she was lesbian, she ended up divorcing him because he got more girls then she did. So divorce was just out of jealousy on her part. So maybe wife swapping is the answer to maintain a stable open relationship.
Gay guys seem to routinely do this without a problem but then neither of them are going to get pregnant.
Rules. We have a semi open relationship as We have a “third” that we have threesomes with.. our rule is we are allowed to have sex one on one with the “third” but that’s it. Neither of us actually have yet!
We are faithful because of our trust in each other
Isn't the purpose of open relationships like permission to not be faithful to your partner? But like tell them about it or something?
I mean I think they make sense if like one partner is very low sex drive and the other is much higher and they're somehow perfect for one another.
I never understood these types of relationship. I personally think they are doomed for future failure and instability. I think it may be fun, cool, hip, and daring in the near and maybe intermediate future, but long-term they will not last.
“Faithful” takes on a different meaning in open relationships. A couple needs to establish new terms that entirely replace the boundaries governing “infidelity” as most of us understand it. Too many circumvent that conversation or short-change it entirely. Without that conversation in full, open relationships are as doomed as traditional relationships when a third and/or fourth party gets involved.
Per update, that’s NOT the point even remotely. Most of the couples i know in open relationships get some say over each other’s extra institutional choices. Any defiance of that understanding results in similar consequences to monogamous couples’ “cheating”. Consensual non-monogamy isn’t the same as polygamy, and neither are equivalent to “cheating”. This really isn’t that hard to define!
In an open relationship, you and your partner agree that it's okay to have sex with others, and you always make sure that you come home to your partner.
With communication and understood boundaries. I don't care if you're 10/10 perfect, if she says no to you, the matter is settled and you can take a hike. Same in her case.
🤣🤣 you’re literally the same age as her you sexist pos
So if being in an open relationship is about rules and no faithfulness, why be in a relationship at all? When you can just be friends with benefits?
Faithfulness does not mean singular exclusivity. You can be faithful to more than one partner. Friends with benefits is fine, but it's strictly casual with no inherent deeper care or love for the other partners.
Think of it this way. Would you rather sample multiple delicious meals, savor them and enjoy it routinely, or would you rather sample multiple meals without flavor and never touch it again unless you need something to eat?
@hIopinionated_ Shut up Karen!!!
@Tornado92 A Karen calling me a Karen? 😂What a joke you are
It’s not something I would ever do but I believe there are rules.
Falling in love is probably one of them.
We have a pseudo open relationship where we date someone together. Trust and communication go a long way and everyone is happier for it. It's wonderful.
They don’t even if you call it open it’s still cheating
Communication is the key here. While I am not in an open relationship. Communication is the backbone of any kind of relationship.
An open relationship is communicating with your partner that you're dating and having sex with such and such person. In other words theirs no secrets. It's not about being faithful.
They don't. Humans are not psychologically wired for it.
Lol- they DON'T stay faithful. That's the whole point.
You understand a open relationship is a unfaithful one
It's easy!' LOTS and LOTS of sex! Variety is the Spice of Life.
I can eat prime rib, steak tartar, ribs or chops ALL WEEK, but in the end, I ALWAYS come back to my extra juicy dee-lishus ground beef burger, EVERY WEEK, ALL YEAR ROUND, YEAR AFTER YEAR!
My relationships are all friends with benefits so don’t really have true relationships. We just fuck all the time, but do take them out for dinner , clubbing, whatever they want to do. We both know we will be fucking at the end of the day. Gives them lots of time to get super wet.
Couples in open relationships tend to be either a) From a different culture or religious background where they derive meaning from such relationships, or; b) are attention seeking losers who want to appear unique to their friends and family.
i always found open relationships nasty
like your going to fuck your girl after another gay had his dick in her mins or hours ago
My thoughts exactly
Partners in open relationships share everything…including herpes.
I think to just be honest with who you see, when and what you do yes. I not mean love the person less I not think.
faithful in open relationship?
sure lol
Partners in open relationship are not faithful, just, change of taste
We discuss everything.
Woah. I have never been in an open relationship before... So far. Lol
Faithful? 🤣🤣 This is a joke right?
I can fuck anyone anytime as long as i tell her about it so no surprises down the road. She can fuck any girl im already fucking if i allow her to. Thats the rules.
That is legit not an open relationship. Basically you believe your free to fuck who ever but she's not free to fuck anyone other then your dirty tramp side chick after you give her "permission" are you scared that she's gunna fuck a guy and leave you? Way to be a control emotionally abusive cock
@Sara_ku it is open since there are other people involved.
Men and women are different. This setup increases my status and therefore her status. If she slept with other men it would decrease her status and therefore my status.
Lastly i have a big dick and a lot of stamina. More dick is literally the last thing she wants. she's already tore up and in pain half the time just taking care of me. Im an ex adult actor so thats how she's getting fucked daily.
Sorry you're so damaged you're one of those girls who literally think everything is abuse.
We communicate a lot. We tell each other before during or after we have sex or even flirt with someone. We both find it very fulfilling and enjoyable
@Pinay_ako read the update. We started as friends with benefits. Then feelings developed and it progressed from there.
I don’t get open relationships
Me neither.
Lots of honesty and open communication
Great,
I'm going to ask you one more question although it's going to be slightly weird.
Would it be Accurate to describe you as a truly loving person. Young children tend to like you and there's probably a niece or nephew that is very close to you. You enjoy swimming, it's one of your favourite activities and your hair is well taken care of out of all your body parts?
Kind regards,

Now it makes sense. Your love chakra is being blocked by something internal. It's really hindering your character development. Possible long term side effects will be a general disorganisation. Not knowing how to prioritize tasks, create a workable schedule.
It's really an emergency,
What You need is sunlight brother. I can't give you the solution to how you can grow your hair back and repair your love chakra, but I can tell you the next step in your journey.
On the next clear sunny day, take your shoes and socks off and stand or sit in your garden or an open piece of grass on real earth.
I cannot tell you whether it will be quick, like 34 minutes, or whether it will take as long as 2 hours until you'll realise why I advised this remedy,
But by the time you are done, you will know exactly what to do. For now you will have to wait and see brother.
I have not given a bad piece of advice in over 15 years and today isn't going to be an exception.
All the best to you,
Kind regards,
DoctorSex
Both agree on rules and follow them.
Isn't that an oxymoron?
I've never been in one so I'm not sure.
I am just faithful. It doesn't take any effort
Just with love
r u in one?
Let me show you😋😉
Uhhh they don’t
