Figured this would be a good starter for this blog. Monogamy or Open-Relationships. Now, i'm sure everyone knows the difference between the two although many of you may not actually keep your word! Monogamy is exclusive, one on one, no 3somes, no sex outside the relationship with someone else. It's you and the person you are with. Open-Relationship is you or you and your partner play around with other people or couples alone or together. Couples in Open-Relationships often have different "rules" to their relationships such as "only play together" or "never the same person twice"....
People in relationships often see things differently. The ones in monogamous relationships are often totally against ever being in an open-relationship. I'm that way myself. I am a total monogamous. I don't like to "share" who I am dating. If I am with someone, I do get a bit jealous if someone else touches them inappropriately. I don't want to see someone touch my partner below the waist! I would also expect the same from them. I don't want my partner touching anyone except me in the private areas!
IMO, Open-Relationships cause MORE problems than not. Alot of times, people that are in open-relationships that play with others, weather it be together or separate end up hurting their partner. Despite their rules which may consist of mutual agreement on the person they are playing with, often times, the person they hook up with favors one person or the other. This is ESPECIALLY the case in inter-racial couples or older/younger couples (cut/uncut or hairy/smooth or body type differences in gay couples). So, at times, there may be a person they want to play with, but the person that agrees really just wants one or the other and shows them more attention. This can cause problems in the relationship. Also, couples that play with others separately, are more likely to hook up more alone than they are with another person causing an increase in catching an STD if they are not careful. If you are in a relationship with someone and both of you are playing with others, you are pretty much doubling the risk of STDs because there are two of you having sexual contact with other people, then having sexual contact with each other.
That's all I can really think to say in this blog, but I am going to close off on this note here: Practice safe sex, always wear a condom (and for the heteros, keep it in your pants unless you are married! we don't need any more welfare babies!)
