"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...
