With rare exceptions, it's indicative of an unhealthy relationship for any number of reasons, such as denial of fundamental incompatibility, sexual addiction of one or both partners, callous disregard for the feelings and well-being of one's partner, detachment from intimacy, selfishness, and fear (of being alone, financial loss if financially entwined, etc.). Not to mention the health risks, many of which may be cured (crabs, chlamydia, gonorrhea, syphilis, trichomoniasis, most cases of monkeypox, etc.), but others which cannot (herpes, HIV, HPV, Hepatitis B, etc.). Of course, the risk of infecting one's partner is lower if no longer being sexually intimate. Someone in an open relationship once told me that sex doesn't mean anything and it's just like any other human need, like taking a sh*t. What a wonderfully endearing analogy. If one wants to sleep around, just stay single. All that said, everyone has the right to live as they choose, provided it's not hurting others or violating their rights. Live and let live.

I don’t believe in open relationships as far as I’m concerned the person you are with doesn’t love you like they say they do if they can sleep with other men and as far as I’m concerned they are cheating on you I myself would not have this and I would get out of that relationship as fast as I could because they will end up cheating on you. An open relationship never works and never will plus you don’t know if they are having safe sex and they could bring home a disease and pass it onto you and then they leave you anyway so why put yourself through it. It would also make you feel inadequate to the point that you are not good enough for that person and you lack in something that you can’t give to that person so from my personal point of view I say NO to an open relationship and would tell the person who wants one go find someone else it may hurt you at the time but it better to be safe than sorry and put up with a cheater that doesn’t love you enough to be faithful to you.

No judgement. This is just my experience. I've gone along with an open relationship when it was either accept it or we're done, and I hated it. I've also tried an open relationship after discussing it with my long-term partner (different relationship) at the time, and still hated it. It seems to work for some couples, but not for us. Watching someone I love balls deep inside a stranger was devastating and it nearly broke us. We'll never ever try it again.

I really don't understand the point of an open relationship if you care about somebody. And love them. How could you share that person with somebody else..?. Or how could that person just wanna go out and hook up with somebody for sex? It's not worth it.. Better just end Or find somebody that you're really compatible with.

I'll stick to being with one person, I'm like you, I can't take having my man be intimate with someone else and then come home to me. I've hooked up with guys that were in open relationships and I felt so alone cause they had to go home to their boyfriends after we played around. My heart can't take that anymore.

And we are still happily together. We can't really make each other jealous. It's not for everyone, but, for us, it works.

Personally it’s a no from me. But when you think about the amount of cheating that goes on you in an open relationship without your consent anyway. If people want that freedom why be in a relationship it’s just selfish stay single. All they want is someone to play there fool and rely on there more commit partner to bolster the life while the piss all over the people they profess to love. Right. I think that a lot of people put up with it later in life as fear of being alone starts to become more of a reality.

For a long time I was very much against open relationships. I came to realize that if other people want one, it's not up to me to judge them, but it's not for me. It requieres a level of detachment I am not capable of. I do not see s*x and love within a relationship as two seperate things, I think they're two sides of the same coin. I still believe very much that people who are in an open relationship have issues, either personal issues and/or between them, that are unadressed, and their relationship status is an illusionary solution to problems that have got nothing to do with being monogamous or not. But again: that doesn't allow me to judge people who do make that choice. And last but not least: I've never seen a succesful open relationship (as opposed to closed relationships between 3 people, I know several sustainable and durable throuples that perfectly fulfill all persons in them). Usually people decide to have an open relationship when they've passed some kind of point of no return, and people outside of the relationship can already see that it's just a matter of time before it ends anyhow. It's like straight people having a baby to repair their relationship, and ending up divorcing 2 years later.

Open relationships only work when you keep the 'possibility' of sleeping with someone else open. You both are 'open' to it. It can happen, but your main partner (or partners) are still your main partner and your main focus. People always forget the second word, "relationship". When you're both just sleeping around that eventually becomes unsatisfying emotionally. And it may take years, but eventually two things happen, a) you become less emotionally attached if they're sleeping with lots of other people and b) one persons body count always, always, way exceeds the other persons and it then will become an issue. I'm not advocating for or against it. Its a constant tightrope walk but some people do need it, just keep the numbers low and be respectful. I mean, if you've given your partner a Valentine rose and they know for a fact you've already had 'another' Valentine session today, it's not special is it.

Overall imo i could never ever be in an open relationship!! Over my dead body lmao. It’s beyond me how some people have a lack of self worth and are totally comfortable with the thought of someone’s fifth wheel when things are mostly only about sex. On the other hand I could care less about this bs. That shallow excuse of a „rElAtIoNsHiP“ without any proper commitment to yourself or your significant is what I stay faaaarr away from smh. I would rather stay single and mind my own business then be with someone that is so on and off and is seeking physical/emotional affection from a gazillion other bi***es. Even if these relationships would work. It’s kinda shitty towards the third person (if it affects him/her) only to be someone’s bootycall on dial ..

If your partners your best friend you don’t have anything to worry about. The emotional bond of friendship is stronger than a hookup. For me personally there’s a factor of jealousy. Though I discovered very early on that monogamy among gay men is about as rare as hens teeth. Experience taught me they were gonna do it anyway. So as loyal as I tend to be, I accept that most guys aren’t. I also always felt it was wrong to ask someone I love to miss out on an experience they want. Life’s too short for that.

From my own experience with open relationship and the stories that I have heard, I think it can work, if it is your thing, when you establish it from the start or to ease yourself into a serious monogamous relationship. But the moment you become monogamous with your partner, it is over. Trying to start an open relationship when you are in a monogamous relation is almost guaranteed to destroy it and usually a big red flag that your partner is cheating or want to cheat on you with someone specific.

It should be pretty clear just how complicated and unsettled this topic is, and how much it depends on the specific people involved, but let’s get into the negative ways that we judge each other about it! 1. I’ve seen monogamous gays get *extremely* mean and righteous about this, for all the same old reasons. (Just look at a few comments here, in fact!) 2. I’ve seen gays in open relationships who love to perform what a great time they’re having, when the reality of their relationship(s) definitely doesn’t match up to how they’re representing everything. It should be obvious that both sides of this are bad, and yet we find reasons to shut down dating, end relationships or just generally be terrible to one another over it. Maybe if we got rid of the binary thinking, we could figure out what’s right for each of us…

I am grateful for my partner’s love and support and our decision to have an honest, loving and caring relationship. We mostly shared our relationship with others who were interested in us as a couple. This is not for everyone. We always put our relationship first and made it clear to others. We never used the word should but rather shall we…I miss him so and I’m grateful for our journey together.

The best recipe for an open relationship? A situation of a low sex drive guy, older or younger, and a higher sex drive guy, usually younger, with widely different tastes in men, in a "relationship" that becomes a loving best-friends situation that makes the other guys around us a bit jealous. These situations are the ones that work long term.

Playing together isn't what I'd categorize as open, those are just 3ways. I know couples who are in open relationships but they never seem to last. They can last a long time. It eventually gets too one-sided. There's usually one who initially agrees to it because they are comfortable in life and don't want change. They also begin having less sex together. I've only known one or two couples that have lasted more than 20 years and they've never been open. In my opinion, family ties and friendship, children strengthen monogamous relationships because more is at stake. My last observation is that if you see a couple that agrees to go open and play seperately, and one has a lot of outside sex while the other can't or won't, it won't last. The relationship deteriorates.

Every open relationship I’ve known has ended with them breaking up. One friend of mine fell in love with that person he saw continuously. Broke up and started a closed relationship with the other person. WTH. Open relationships to me seems like a selfish way of life. What do you need a relationship for in that case. I don’t want a roommate. They never seemed to work from where I sit. And just because they last for five years doesn’t mean it’s working. You are only fooling yourself.

I’ve had ‘open’ relationships. Needless to say they didn’t last. For some it works on some kind of disfunctional level but I think it takes a certain type of person. I cannot believe that if you don’t really care or mind your partner going around bedding other people then do you really honestly care or love that person anyway? And do you love yourself enough for that matter? To think that it is some kind ‘alternative’ lifestyle and is healthy for you or your partner. Really? Or is it that you’re too much of a coward to go it alone with all the financial ramifications, friendships, lifestyle and family that could be affected and see your relationship as some kind of weird business deal. I know people that have or are ‘open’ but it never is as honest and clear cut as is implied. In fact most of the time it’s all smoke and mirrors and frankly must be exhausting. Someone is always getting the better deal as it were. I think most of the people are self absorbed narcissists. Always declaring their undying love and respect for each other while at the same time showing the complete opposite. It’s total bs. If you are reducing the intimacy and sexual act down to some kind of body function there’s something obviously wrong with you. I’d say you are clearly damaged and should be avoided at all costs. It’s one of the many facets of gay culture I find totally vacuous and kind of revolting. It takes courage, hard work, trust and commitment to make a long lasting, meaningful partnership to mature. Qualities these people clearly lack.

For me, sex is not the most important or sacred part of the relationship. Honesty and loyalty are far more important. Me and my partner (8 years together now) floated the open relationship a few years ago, entirely mutually, and tried it, and it's worked. We're not massively promiscuous, in about 2 years we've had 2 threesomes, and a couple of other encounters each, so I guess this "monogamish?" Label fits. We still mostly have sex together. We're completely honest and openly communicate with each other. We both know that it's just about experimentation and spicing things up every now and then, never getting into romantic territory with other guys. It's all about being on the same page. I don't think it's going to work for everyone, particularly if it's suggested by only one side, but it can work. Straight couples have been swinging for decades too.

i never had a boyfriend. at 56, if i ever find a boyfriend before I die, I'm going to say no. But I can imagine the 3some thing based on the fact that I have fetishes and fantasies and would expect my husnad would too. But.... that would be far down the line. I dont judge. what works for others as long as they are happey and noone gets hurt, I'm supportive.

Open relationships are for people who can't commit, have no empathy for their partners' feelings, are pretty selfish, and are not willing to make ANY sacrifices for the sake of the relationship. Don't let this happen to you. Don't start anything you can't finish. Finally, someone is going to get hurt.

The assumption being made here is that monogamy is somehow the default postion, some kind of scientific fact that human are monogamous my nature which isn't true. Secondly, are neolithic socities are so sexually repressed. If I were an alien watching human TV and movies I would see allt he sex, once I get to planet, I wouldn't see any sex anywhere unless i went into the homes of the human who hide sex beind close doors. Monogamy isn't normal or natural, just loook a gayhook ap wtih hundres of profiles with no pictures all the tons of staright guys, married men or have girlfriend that are on there. Open realtiosnhips polyamourous one aren't even addressed in pop culture. They exist.
