Open Relationship?

[xmbedir]

I was wondering if anyone here has been/is in a Open relationship, or has known anyone to be in one and if it worked out or not?

I personally have never been in one but I know people that have. It is something that is important for both people to really, really 100% understand and it takes a lot of communication in the relationship. Jealousy is bad in these situations. If you or your partner is a jealous person by nature i wouldn't recommend being in an open relationship. I have also noticed it takes a lot of maturity from all partners.

That is just what I have witnessed.

I know people who have or are in open relationship. I have seen a couple work out, and I have seen several just blow up apart. It's not for me, and I don't endorse it, but for some, I guess it seems to work.

I'm in an open relationship (I'm gay) with my partner of 13 years. We've got excellent lines of communication and are constantly checking if there's anything going on feelings-wise with the other person that isn't cool. We don't actually act on it all that much, and when we do it's usually in a three way. But we've both played seperately and I think it's solved what could have been some serious sexual frustration in the relationship otherwise.

That said, I don't recommend it unless you are both REALLY okay with it. "Kinda okay" doesn't cut it. Don't let your spouse / partner / whatever pressure you into it if it makes you uncomfortable. And take it very slowly . . . try it once and then talk it to death with your significant other and see how you both feel. A little awkwardness is to be expected, but if there's a lot of discomfort don't go any further.

And finally ask yourself what you're going to be gaining from the experience. If you're mostly satisfied with the way things are, give it a pass. There's a lot of hassles involved with playing with someone else - making sure the sex is ultra safe, making sure the PERSON is ultra safe, where to play, when . . . yada yada. Sometimes it's not worth the effort for just a little change of pace.

I must say my wife and I have started to open up in our relationship and so far we are both very pleased, There is much less pressure as you said canoodle06 and we share so much more with each other. We share our fantasies our likes and dislikes in males and females alike. I have come to know her so much more and the more I know the more I love here. So far we have had only one experience with others, although they was no intimate sex just alot of feeling up I should say, we were both present and it was alot of fun and a big turn on for both of us. But that's a whole other story.

We do not know how far we will go but, we talk about it alot, and waiting fro the right people and time.

Again we both talk to each other very much and very openly so it has been great so far!

Yes, I am thank you and it has been FUN FUN FUN and we have done a LOT more than just kiss. You learn that sex does not equal love; that one need not be possessive - you can relax and trust your spouse; and you learn so much about yourself, your spouse, others as well as new sexual techniques!
