Guys don't realize, but one of the biggest things we're looking for is freedom. Boyfriends take away a lot of your freedom to do what you want, to see your friends, to go out, whatever, and they're very harsh about it, like telling you what you can and cannot do. So things like friends with benefits or fuck buddies or being the 4th girl are nice because then you can see the guy when you want and not worry when you're apart. (I've never done the 4th girl thing, but that idea).
[Wow, a bold and honest woman. That is such a turn-on. And you are right, most-men still suffer from the Madonna-Whore-Complex, so they become controlling thinking that they own a woman. How would you tell your partner that you believe in an open-relationship, and not a monogamous-one, would you be straight-forward, or would you let him find-out on happen-stance?]
No. My partner is my partner, I don't share.
You do you
I think open relationships are bad, but swinging is good.
I view swinging as a team sport that you do together. If you're both free to go off and date and screw others, what makes it a relationship?
[I view swinging as team-leader sport. If you don’t have a captain to show what can be done, set boundaries, and demonstrate self-discipline then the rest of the team won’t be all-that-inspired. But more specifically women are designed different from men. Men are polygamous by nature, and women are monogamous by desire for companionship, security, and resources. We can still be on the same team, but you can’t hold me back if I’m top-performer. Otherwise we all lose.]
I just know that both people are free to go out on their own, then what defines them as a couple?
I just watched a good movie. A young couple knew they weren't cut out for monogamy, so they tried swinging. But the girl was stupid about it. She thought it was fine to just go on vacation with another guy. That didn't fly.
[Them. Their mutual agreement/desire to be with each other when that’s what they want. A couple doesn’t mean attachment, and going everywhere the other one goes all-the-time.
That’s a movie, and it’s only one perspective. You may want to try it for yourself several-times before you come to a conclusion, or not. But the the fact is that there are multiple-possibilities.]
Imagine if your wife asks you to go to a party with her, and she has plans to go somewhere with Steve. In my view your commitment with her becomes more like a business partnership or roommate. I'm not knocking anyone else's opinion, but I'm just giving mine.
So you wouldn't do this if you had a wife?
