An interesting article here discusses Open relationships (or what they’re calling flexi-sex) and along with reminding us that the idea of what many people consider to be a committed relationship has changed in the past 50 years (living together was discouraged only 20 years ago, but is now considered normal), they point out that many people will commit to a mortgage before they commit to marriage. Further, they go on to describe a few different couple’s experiences of encouraging their partners to have extra lovers.

There is also some good advice, for anyone considering this lifestyle:

Pushing the boundaries of monogamous relationships can be a thrilling and liberating process for those in a solid relationship. It is not something you should enter into in the hopes of saving one that’s lost its lustre, nor is it something you should try under duress.

In order to work, flexi-sex requires a lot of communication; you can’t just make it up as you go along. Permitting your partner to take a lover is serious stuff. You need to be emotionally mature enough to handle the consequences and your relationship needs to be robust enough to cope as well.
