I find them disgusting. Relationships ought to be between two persons and not between two and a half a bloody town.

A significant other (love+lust) and many fuck buddies (lust only) is the key to enlightenment. Then you bring back the spices you acquired to your significant other.

i can see how open relationships would fit some people better.
personally i think my ideal would be a relationship where my partner and i are romantically exclusive but sexually allowed to fool around (on our own or perhaps together). i don't care much about sexual fidelity - never had. but romantic fidelity is a big deal to me.

not for me, but if both people consent it should be okay
the only rules in a relationship are the ones the people involved decide
i know a lesbian couple that's into this kinda stuff and it's pretty interesting

@Seiya, it's pretty much the same thing except you have a partner.
And that's not a difficult question to answer for me. I value freedom and personal choice as long as your not going about hurting other people. So, of course I'm for casual sex being legal. I'd rather the country collapse than for the government to become that intrusive in people's sex lives.

I do have a friend who is in a open relationship and she is quite happy.

I don't think I would personally participate in it since I have been conditioned to value such loyalty, but I can't say anything for certain.
Attempts at long term monagamous relationships often fail or result in unhappiness anyway, as humans did not evolve to be in these relationships. Though, open relationships could lead to a loss of self control over your hedonistic tendencies and desire for instant gradification, if promoted on a large scale.
It could be called a conundrum of sorts, maybe. People now are in short term monagamous relationships in an attempt at balance.

most people are "okay" with doing things that harm their mind/body but that doesn't mean they shouldn't be judged or ashamed of it

I'd be very uncomfortable in an open relationship, if I know it's only about sex for them and more about hookups and one-night-stands. It's hard for me to deal with such people, especially on relationship-basis.
If it's something serious and the other person isn't just occasionally sex, than I might be okay with it after the first "eeh" and try to learn to get to know the other person. Maybe I'd like them too in some ways. ;)

At least you will be lucky enough in your imagination I guess, that you are allowed to keep it?

Anyway, back to topic: Just don't fool around with people and lie to them, while you're cheating on them.
People, who want to do it, will do it anyway. Just in an old mannered fashion, where everything is fine on the outside and they keep a nice facade, but they will cheat on their partner anyway.
People, who will stay monogamous won't suddenly cheat, because there is a possibility today to have sex with others, while you don't have to lie.
If you can decide between the dishonest, mendacious version with the nice facade or the honest version that will upset some people, take the honest one.

You do know that people still have free will even if you criminalize an act right? It's like saying Antarctica doesn't exist if you make it illegal for people to acknowledge its existence.

but there's lots of things consenting adults do that are degenerate and hurt their minds and hold them back in life such as watching pr0n and if they used shame as a motivating factor instead of avoiding it they could improve and have a better life

lol im not offended by being called not normal

like i said, there are the masses and the elite when it comes to living a fulfilling life

most people don't realize that their brain produces negative feelings for a reason. regrets, failures, disappointment, shame, etc, all of these things are your brain's way of telling you that something needs to change in order for you to feel fulfilled

we live in a world where people are engaged in pointlessness (like this post i am typing right now, but i dont spend all day doing this) to an extreme extent and it literally saps chemical resources in your brain that could be put to better use and tricks your mind into thinking good things are happening to you, then at the end of the day people feel empty and are depressed and AnXiEtY and wonder why. couldn't be the wageslaving, then going home and wasting all free time on social media and video games only to repeat the cycle could it????

but it is what it is, those who are meant for greatness will figure it out

Free will (n): The ability to act at one's own discretion.

i.e. you can't make it disappear. Unless you're planning to tie them up 24/7 or something, though I wouldn't put it past you.

Then it's super simple to avoid your scheme: don't be a labelfag and simply say "But we're just friends who are having sex once in a while" and change nothing.

And that's exactly what everything related to "relationships" — including "open relationships" is: unadulterated labelfaggotry and that's why I can't take it seriously.

"relationship culture" is the trifle of the man who cares more about what to call something than what that thing is.

There's also the issue of "should infidelity be illegal?" — because if it's not then you can just say "We're not in an open relationship; we have strict rules against cheating; it just so happens that we constantly break these rules; but we're compassionate men of understanding and don't get angry about this... wink, wink." — it's all labelfaggotry and obsession with words, not their meaning.


It is obvious that "obscenity" is not a term capable of exact legal definition; in the practice of the courts, it means "anything that shocks the magistrate".

If other people (not counting someone I was in a romantic/sexual relationship with) want to do it, it's none of my business...but I would never want to be in an open relationship. I wouldn't want the person I love having sex with random people. Most couples break up when that type of thing happens too, and it's because most people would feel betrayed.

I have more objections towards the man who makes an agreement that limits his freedom than the man that makes no such agreement.

Obviously I have very little respect for men who surrender their freedom for the prize of control of the freedom of other men. It's not even surrendering freedom for something tangible like money, food, shelter, entertainment, no — it's surrendering one's freedom for the prize of being able to take the freedom of another man, all the while claiming this is because one loves the latter.

The man who surrenders his freedoms I find hard to respect; the man who surrenders it for nothing more than to take it from others even less,

That having been said — the man so concerned with useless labelfaggotry I of course also have little respect for.

I know people in long-term open relationships and I see how functional and healthy they can be. I'm not the jealous or the possessive type, which makes me think it could work out for me. I was never into one, but I'd be open (heh) to it if the possibility arose, but it's not something I'm seeking out though.

I guess everyone will have their own opinions and disagree on the basis of it. But I actually don't understand it at all. An open relationship is not a relationship at all imo. I just don't understand why you have to be together with someone, while seeking sex and thrill from other people. You can simply seek out all the thrill and sex without one, and with less headaches. To me it's just one of the most selfish behaviors ever. You don't NEED to be with someone, even if you have kids, if you're not getting what you want out of it.

A relationship to me is a commitment. A commitment that you are making with another person. If you're going to include a third party or several third parties, then it really loses that intimacy, it loses the factor of having something special with someone. It's kinda like "i'm just with you because I CAN'T walk away but I want to bang other people because you don't excite me anymore".

I don't really care what people do with lives, but for me it's more of a issue with finding the purpose of it. You can just be single if you want to not be tied down and seek "freedom".

It depends on what you consider an open relationship. I have my hand in multiple women and have some form emotional connection with each one as they do with me. Them and I care for each other and if any of them ask for my help I'll help and vise versa. I go on dates with most of them and be genuinely intimate with them. Does that mean I'm in multiple open relationships? I wouldn't say so but maybe that's what you would call it

ps just in case. no, none of these women think im just with them and I dont expect them to just be with me.

It's the pinnacle of maturity that most people here are not ready for.

It works even better if only one of the participants is allowed to have multiple partners while the other stays loyal and supports their partner both morally and financially in their pursuit of pleasure and happiness with other people.

open relationship is okay-ish for me as long as it's not orgy. cuz i think it's a good thing to be able to emotionally connected with many people so we can understand each other better and prevent conflicts from happen.
