[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In a country of 320 million, does it work for some people?  Of course but usually the exception because of all the emotions involved.  Also, for heterosexual couples, women have a tremendous advantage finding sex partners (this seems to be implicitly suggested in the article's examples).  This inbalance would appear to create issues in and of itself.[/quote]

But this is not an imbalance if the wife is the one who really wants the open marriage. We struggled for 10+ years to find a good balance. In as gentle a way as possible, I brought it up. My husband got crazy defensive, and it took me about 18 months to work it out with him. I didn't dwell on his inadequacies in the bedroom (what would be the point?) but instead talked about it being a safety valve and a way to prevent a huge area of dissatisfaction. He really likes having the freedom, in theory, but in truth is not very interested in sex in general.[/quote]

I think you have posted before.  DH does not  care about sex, you have someone else but still have sex with DH about once or twice a month, right?   But how can you respect him?  How can he consider himself masculine and feel like a man?  Maybe you have kids and stay together for them but how can either of you really be happy with this?[/quote]
