Open relationship = Polyamory meaning multiple lovers + or - sexual intercours*e.

Interesting concept.

My understanding of an open relationship, is when someone is in an unstable or on and off relationship. As soon as they find someone better and reliable they are so done with the present relationship.

Not so. There are people in stable relationships who participate in this open thingy.

It's based on honesty and openess. You tell each other who you are "doing" or "seeing" etc....

Hence, OPEN. It is the relationship of the new age. Probably nothing short of polygamy though, Nothing new here.

Open relationships/polyamory has been present since beginning of time circa 1BC

Oh okay. So it's a non monogamous and poly-amorous kind of relationship. Either or both partners are free to have extra partners? That's weird but the world itself is crazy already.

It is weird. Don't know it 'till you try it, there is a method to this madness. It is not promiscuity and it is not public toilet.

Some think it is receptacle for breeding and spreading germs. But, it actually isn't, if you do it responsibly.

It takes A LOT of open, honest and sincere COMMUNICATION

True I can't say if it's weird until I give it a shot or understand why those who are engrossed in it are doing so in the first place.

My stance to life, especially when it comes to sexuality, human behavioural pattern has been that of whatever makes any one happy no one should judge them, provided they hurt no one. If a couple agrees to have a non-monogamous relationship and they are happy so be it.

I must admit all the while I keep hearing open relationship I never knew this is what it's all about. Had thought it's when someone is in an unstable relationship.

Learnt a new one today from Xiadnat, will be up for more classes. wink

Most Nigerian Guys & Ladies are having Open relationships in disguise. Just that most of us are hypocrites, we will never accept that we are always guilty of infidelity.

That Girlfriend you call d Angel of ur life is one Dude's ho &

That your stingy Boyfriend is another girl's ATM machine. #BeWise

Ok. Then. This is only a lesson from afar. I never said I endorsed it personally.

I am a one man woman. I think any man brave enough to tackle me, will NOT even consider of messing with another girl.

.....just saying. grin
