[quote=Anonymous]I have been in an open relationship and have known quite a few other couples in open relationships. I agree that this is not the place to get information. Most people have a reflexive negative reaction to the idea, as you've seen here, and cannot understand that there are people who can have healthy, secure, open relationships. I second the recommendation for the book More Than Two. There are also websites by and about open relationships, do some googling.

In a nutshell, I will say that you need: (1) very open communication and frequent checking in and (2) regular discussions of rules and boundaries, which will probably be revised as you go along. Everybody does it differently. Some people want to know all about it, meet their spouse's date, whereas others are more comfortable with "don't ask, don't tell." For me, transparency, knowledge, and openness work better There are open couples on Tinder, OkCupid, and apps/websites that are targeted specifically for open people. I used to be on Feeld and SLS. Other apps may be better or more popular now. I actually preferred meeting with other couples, rather than date separately. It depends what you're looking for. I had great sexual and emotional connection with my boyfriend, better than with other men I dated, and including him in my other sexual relationships was more exciting and fulfilling for me than seeing other guys separately.[/quote]
