semi open relationship
What does ‘Semi- open’ mean to you and your wonderful man?
submission/question
Well, we’re not 100% monogamous, but we’re not 100% free range open either. We’re more “monogam-ish”, to use Dan Savage’s parlance. Essentially, we have a few rules that we follow about who, what activities, when, and where we do our extracurricular activities. For example, I am at liberty to do whatever I’d like with another hot woman wherever, as long as he knows about it beforehand, or soon afterward. He can pretty much do the same, but not with any close mutual friends and not on our shared bed and he has to use a condom. I can’t fuck another guy but I can do quite a bit of handsy making out. There’s a few other things, but that’s the gist. It works well for us, keeps things exciting, and protects our relationship from the fear of infidelity. Relying on one person for the rest of your life for your sexual fulfillment and excitement is pretty unrealistic. Fucking someone new every now and again keeps things fresh and fun, even if we don’t do it all that often, having the option, the free pass, prevents a lot of anxiety that’s typical in a lot of long term relationships.
