What do people think about open relationships? The concept itself is not new to the gays, and has been around for centuries. They called it by a different name in the olden says 😀

Happily in an open relationship. We love each other a lot. I understand it’s not for everyone but can work great if neither of you are traditional, possessive, or jealous. You have to have open communication and believe that sex can be making love or it can be just hooking up.

That’s not a historical open relationship. That’s just rampant cheating under the cover of darkness.

A modern open relationship is supposed to be honest and aboveboard, with all parties knowing what’s happening.

I’m too afraid of HIV.

B1, if M1 said it’s an irrational fear it would indeed be acceptable. Or a number of other things...The issue I had is not the fear, but crossing a chasm from open relationship to HIV. It demonstrates an ignorance that I wish people would not pander to, for the sake of the community. It’s only slightly better than a heterosexual man saying he doesn’t want to hang out with a gay person because he might get HIV. An open relationship is not code for promiscuity or HIV. The question in my original post was not how people felt about promiscuity.

Having been in primarily monogamous relationships and a marriage my whole life - I am not sure I will ever be monogamous again. Seems really unrealistic and restrictive with no good reason and puts a lot of unnecessary pressure in the relationship... I am inherently polyamorous and I am sure I will figure out a way to make whatever it is that I have with various partners in the future - though right now I think most single folks are being spinsters anyway...

Not necessarily health related. My husband and I have been married for 14 years. Both in mid to late 30s. We got married young without a lot of plans and now my clock is ticking we've been thinking about having kids. But neither of us really wants to have any although wouldn't mind having one if it happens. Just wanted to hear from both parents and couples with no kids. What do you like/dislike about your situation? What made you decide where you are now? Any advice for us?
