Open relationships. i saw this show on tv about people sharing partners, would you do that?

the situation on the show was, lets say i was the husband(im a guy)


and i had a wife, and a best friend. i was close to my best friend enough to encourage him to have a sexual relationship with my wife and according to the show i wouldn't feel jealousy AT ALL. this hit me like wow, what state of mind must one be to just give away a woman you love to another close bloke? its male nature to want that one girl for yourself. is this tv guy normal or is it me?Open relationships. i saw this show on tv about people sharing partners, would you do that?
You're normal. I would never share my partner, nor would I ever cheat on him. To do so is to have lack of respect for yourself and your partner.Open relationships. i saw this show on tv about people sharing partners, would you do that?
Some people oddly enough are in a wierd way turned on by that. I personally could'nt share my husband with anyone because I'm a selfish lover. I have to have him all to myself. I think the arrangement with that situation on the show is based on the physical needs of the husband and sexual fantasy fulfillment. It has nothing to do with love. That kind of behavior leads to relationship damage. Its playing with fire.
Some people have no issue sleeping with others while in a relationship and some married couples become swingers and swap partners. You can love someone but not be in love with them and I think that is the only way these people are able to do what they do. Detaching is also possible. Porn stars get married and still work in the business so it's all up to the individual. I personally would not.
No one can feel emotionally, or even physically, fulfilled in a joke of a relationship like that. That guy sounds like a real douche...he has no love or respect for his wife whatsoever if he just offers her up to other guys. He's definetely NOT normal!





I think that the term ';open relationships'; is just a term to excuse all the infidelity that these people do. If people arent willing to keep the vows they make, they shouldn't bother making them in the first place. It's an insult to everyone out there who does keep their vows.
Polygamy.. hmm.. Well my theory is that most humans are not naturally monogamous anyway. Really we are just like every other sex driven animal %26gt;%26gt; with some added complicated emotions..like jealousy, haha.





I can understand why people do it. At the end of the day it just depends on the relationship. Essentially its just a trade off - between freedom and pride/ego.





Me? Not sure. Unlikely, but I wouldnt rule it out. Freedom verse Pride.. Which is more important to me? Both.. but Freedom perhaps a little bit more.





Then again im not a bloke.. lol.
in the normal course of events, a unit, man and woman, seek exclusivity. each member of the unit, seek to keep each others full attention.





in most societies, a man will do the needed to protect his woman.





there are deviants who do otherwise.
All the men and women I know would agree with you, I do too. One partner only. I don't want to share or have him share either, that's called cheating. It's frowned upon by most people. That's a total lack of respect for yourself and your partner.
You are absolutely normal
It's scary...I think the tv guy is crazy...You are normal...but the tv guy is crazy!
I definitely wouldn't hand over the person I love to anyone else. My fiance is mine - no touching!
