Could opening your relationship to others benefit you and your partner?
For many couples, monogamy -- staying sexually exclusive with one partner -- is expected and assumed. It's even included in many marriage vows. But as some people are increasingly realizing, monogamy isn't for everyone.
In fact, consensual non-monogamy can be a healthy option for some couples and, executed thoughtfully, can inject relationships with some much-needed novelty and excitement.
As a couples sex therapist, I've found that some may feel committed to each other yet still feel they have fundamental differences in sexual interests or desires. In the past, many of these couples might have chosen to break up, cheat or just "settle."

Is non-monogamy is right for you?
So how do you know whether trying consensual non-monogamy -- which includes polyamory, the ability to have sexual and emotional relationships with others -- is worth exploring? First, it helps to understand how you and your partner define sexual openness, as well as sexual exclusivity.
"There are as many different types of non-monogamous relationships as there are people in them," Vrangalova said.
For some couples, non-exclusivity might take the form of attending "play parties" together and swapping partners, watching other couples have sex, dating other people or even entering into polyamorous relationships with multiple partners.
Determine what's OK and what's not. These are important conversations to have even if you intend to remain monogamous, because they help set expectations and boundaries for your relationship.

Ya, that shite works right up until one partner isn't getting laid anymore and the other one is.
Or hell if one partner is getting it more than the other.
Jealousy's a sumbitch.

Terrible in practice for women - ends up objectifying and "commoditizing" women even more so than western society already does.
Significantly decreases women's leverage when they're part of stables or "harems" if you will.
Great for males with money/influence. Pretty bad for resource-challenged males, but it's already pretty bad for them on that front anyway.

It's a cool theory as long as your wife doesn't find out about your girlfriend.

Might as well become the norm because the majority of couples are already sleeping with other people without their partner knowing.

Let me guess the article is written by an ugly feminist

Yeah, I highly doubt it ever works.
I was a little bit surprised to see it front page on cnn.com.

Yeah, no shite. That's what the concept of marriage is supposed to be about. Dedicating yourself to one person and one person only.
Our society has turned marriage into "super dating."

Monogamy is one of the pillars of civilization. It may be 'unnatural', but so is wearing pants and shitposting on the internet.

Even worse, it's written by a mangina
Here is how these open relationships usually works out
The woman bangs Chad Brad Thad and Jamal on the regular
The guy gets no action at all

These days it's really about the ceremony and honeymoon. Girl gets her day to be treated like a princess and validated by everyone she knows. That's what marriage entails to many women these days, they don't think much farther past the wedding itself

This. Marriage isn't supposed to be easy. Part of growing as a couple as you age is learning to adapt to your partner's changing needs and wants. Finding ways to add excitement and intrigue can help you better know and appreciate your spouse/partner.
If every time you got bored, you both went out and banged some strange, you'd never grow as a couple.
If you want to have sex with lots of different people, then date non-exclusively. Marriage isn't for everybody.

I think it's a product of our fricked up, snowflake society. It's natural for humans to want other humans, just because you're married doesn't mean that desire goes away. What it does mean is that you now made a vow to someone else that you wouldn't frick someone else; as you could do previously. It's marriage. You knew what it was when your arse signed up for it. Don't be fricking weird.

I think each couple should define their own relationship and live within the parameters they set for themselves.

I'm shocked that the mainstream media is pushing this. Absolutely shocked.
