You have to be able to disappoint one person first....

I've already disappointed many people, thank you very much

You have a valid excuse though, he doesn't.

It's surprisingly sensual

 

He is pregnant too.. With a cheeseburger baby.

Sometimes it's a poutine baby. I'm in an open relationship with food

I feel a certain amount of sexual jealousy would creep in at some point for either one or both partners. I can see it working in some instances, but I feel like almost always, it would ruin the relationship. That being said, I imagine there are way more open relationships around than many of us realize.

I think an issue is just introducing competition into the relationship. Whether consciously or unconsciously. "What's the person have that I don't? How come he/she can satisfy my partner in a way I can't?"

Boobs. Because she probably enjoys suckin' dick.

Did any of you watch my video? I linked to Dan Savage. He's been in a succesful open relationship for 15+ years with his life partner. He has some pretty convincing arguments against monogamy. Namely that monogamy is HARD and we're treated like shit when it fails, if you're with the person you want to spend the rest of your life with, and you give in to your natural urges, you are going to lose that person from your life. Which is ridiculous, just because you have sex with someone doesn't mean you have feelings for them, it simply means you found them attractive.

 

He says a lot of this much better than I can, youtube him.

 

 

Monogamy is hard for people who aren't meant to me monogamous. I don't understand the point in people forcing themselves into monogamy if that isn't what they want. I've never had the desire to cheat in my relationships so monogamy isn't hard for me. But obviously if someone has an issue with committing themselves to one person they shouldn't force themselves to do it. I'm a firm believer in the fact that monogamy isn't for everyone.

Preach.

There genuinely isn't much of our typical nonsense here though.

Yeah, I thought we did quite well in this thread, I poured my tiny, wooden heart out.

I personally could not do it because I'm fuckin' crazy and could not handle my partner sleeping with another person behind my back. Plus it apparently means I'm not enough in bed which is kinda shitty. 

I agree with this statement. 

Call me crazy, but if I'm dating someone or married to them I'd prefer to give them my attention and I would hope for the same. 

If other people wanna do that, go ahead, but I hope whoever I may end up with doesn't expect that to happen.

I think it really depends on the people involved? If both partners are down for an open relationship, whether they both partake in it or not, and they keep open communication, why not? I think it's really, really, really important that people listen to one another when foraying outside the norm (or hell, even within it) so as to not blindside each other with anger/jealousy.

 

Alternatively, if one partner is uncomfortable with it? Nope. Your relationship will end.

Or they'll suffer through it quietly, and die a bitter, vengeful hag.

I believe most people call that 'marriage'.

I want more than a unwanted polygamous marriage.

True dat.

If your cool with your partner sleeping with another person, then its cool. I can not though. I have tried and it did not work end well.
