So, I have a pair of friends in an "open" relationship. Pretty much they're BF/GF, but not exclusive. Maybe this is what it's like when people are "seeing eachother," but as I'm a 4channer, I wouldn't know anything about dating. That being said, I do like girls, and girls for some reason like me back. Enough, even, to get in bed with me.
Now, a lot of people believe in the one guy-one girl thing. I do, too. But does sex fall under that stipulation, too? I think it's good for one couple to be exclusive with each other when it comes to things like emotional openness, sharing secrets, going on dates and all that. But sex?
I mean, once you start going steady with somebody, are you supposed to suddenly not have any interest in anybody else anymore? Sounds weird to me. Sex is not love. Relationships are about love. Not about sex, though they do get all tangled together.
If my GF wanted to do another guy, I wouldn't object. I'd wonder why, of course, but it's not like I don't want to do other girls, too. And it's not like we haven't had sex with other people in the past. It should be like anything else in a relationship. You're open about it, you tell your SO about it.
And if this sounds odd, don't most couples have a list of five celebs they'd get to do without repercussions if the chance came? How is that any different from having a list of five people at all?
