Thoughts on open relationships?

oh......why would anyone want that though? thanks for explaining both of you

I'd prefer my partner to only be mine and me, theirs. Don't think open relationships are for me :/

The reason people would want that is because it makes a relationship my adventurous and according to reports keeps relationships healthy. There is no paranoia and sexual urges are released so the relationship can proceed positively.

Why would someone not want an open relationship? It is the best of both worlds and keeps the peace.

I won't judge because I think people have the right to live the life they want as long as they are consenting adults.

I think an open relationship is a reflection of the state of nature. It's fundamentally unnatural to spend your life having sex with one person. However, the ego - or the desire on the part of certain people to add meaning to the random combination of events we call 'life' - gets in the way.

It depends on a range of variables. If you're dating someone with a higher market value than you have, then you're probably going to be less inclined towards sharing. As you get older, and your market value decreases at varying rates (relatively speaking), the inclination towards openness will vary also. If a man is balding and has less opportunity for sex, he won't want to open it up. If a woman is sagging, or receiving less attention than she used to you, she'll be less likely to want to open it up.

It all orientates around self-interest, or what one perceives one can get. The problem with this approach to life is that, upon ageing, it opens you up to accusations of hypocrisy. It also creates a problem whereby, at the age of 30, as your attractiveness starts to go south, you've spent your entire life chasing sex and have decided that as you can no longer get what you want as freely as you used to be able to do, you want to close the relationship down. Well, that's not how life works. Once you're open you have to defend your openness, even as your market value decreases.

Now, at the age of 30, you're alone and with less market opportunity than you used to have. Sometimes, the best expression of self-interest is ignoring immediate gratification in favour of long-term gain.

To add another variable, I don't believe open relationships are good in relation to providing the type of stability children would need in a family setting.

So you ignore common sense and morals. Well that's just the worst type of wishful thinking. Hey kids, doing meth is fine as long as you are consenting adults!



No it isn't. You do know many animals mate for life? Why do you think humans are not in that group and what should we be doing instead?

As far as I'm concerned, it's the way to go.

Normal relationships are just based on fairy tales.

who spurned you?

My point is that you'll eventually get bored in a normal relationship. I speak from experience.

How old are you?

Meth is a bit different since it's illegal. But for argument's sake let's say it's not illegal, it won't bother me just like open relationships don't. That's because it doesn't affect me. End of the day, none of my business.

So you don't have any morals. Well that's just terrible.
Also it does affect you as you have to exist with these people. If everyone was on meth then expect crime to drastically increase...but god forbid that people nowadays have foresight.




Enough animals do to make your argument invalid, and do you know what one of the main factors is when it comes to mammals being promiscuous, mating for life, or having a hareem?




Pahaha, really? At 21 you think you can speak from experience about getting bored in a relationship when, lets be honest, you still probably have no idea who you are or what you want.
