Open relationships poll

I think I'd be willing to be in an open relationship if my partner and I were going to be separate for long periods of time. I'd rather keep it open than put them in a situation where they might be tempted to cheat.
HOWEVER only one-night stands would be permitted, and I'd want to hear about it. I'd like hearing about it (in detail) as a bit of a kinky turn on...

 

I'm not comfortable with my partner having anyone else but me ^,^

 

I haven't, and don't think I would, but given the right circumstances I'd try it. I wouldn't write it off right away on principle.

 

Well I was in a open relationship with a girl before I realized I was gay. The deal with her was that I wanted her to be my girlfriend and she just wanted a friends with benefits. So it was friends with benefits or nothing. Of course I was just to naive to realize she didn't actually like me. We ended up hanging out once as friends with benefits and it was really weird. I don't believe open relationships are really the way to go. It is sort of a contradiction within itself. A relationship (in a romantic sense) is between two people but open means that it is not exclusive. Not judging just my thoughts

 

I don't think I could ever have an open relationship with somebody, if I was dating someone I'd want to know that they only have eyes for me.

 

I have never had one, but I think I would be able to handle it if I found someone that I could trust enough to do it. It probably will never happen though because most people aren't for it and I'm not into it enough for me to ask for it.

 

Personally, I don't have the energy to be in a relationship and also seek out other partners. And I probably would get jealous if my partner wanted to sleep with other people. I'd be much more open to threesomes- at least that's something we'd be doing together -but if either of those things was something my partner wanted, we'd have to have a long discussion about it, for sure.

 

Non-monogamy isn't something I'm interested in (and thankfully the boyfriend feels the same), but I do know a girl who is in an open relationship (heterosexual) and it works for her.

 

The one most applicable to me is Yes, am now in an open straight relationship, and it goes smoothly, although we are both bisexual and i think the term 'heterosexual relationship' should be used, not 'straight relationship'. It has been a little over a year, i think 16 months, it should be noted that our relationship is purely sex and friendship, with no romantic attachment. We are mutually agreed to disclose fully any feelings we develop, but at this point it looks like a safe bet we're in the clear. Not even the slightest complication so far.

i have dated a couple of other people also in the mean time but no-one has been a click either romantically or sexually =( i live in hope to find a real loving partnership! Though i do have the next best thing in a wonderful companion =)

 

No, I could never be in an open relationship. I'm too much of a romantic and into monogamy.

 

Nope I'm too greedy ^_^.


Really though, I dont have anything against those who do, do it. I am just satisfied with one guy.

 

my ex. once never again.

my ex said she wanted an open relationship at the end of our 'relationship' so she could 'figure things out'. she didnt need to figure anything out she just wanted to have her cake and eat it. have me to run back to when the other girls didnt want her anymore or she got bored of flirting cuz she knew i was in love with her. we broke up soon after that after being monogamous for almost a year.

i wouldnt consider one again. but if that is really how they work then its reeally not for me. if its for you though then go for it.

 

If it's a relationship with a girl, it would have to be monogamous. If I was in a relationship with a guy, it would have to be open. I don't think the relationship would work otherwise.
