Open Thread Wednesday
I saw Waitress last night. I loved it. It was witty, funny, simple and unpretentious. Since I'm a bit of a simpleton, it's right up my alley.
I have a woman crush on Keri Russell. She plays a woman in a bad marriage, who gets pregnant and has an affair with her doctor. Right up my alley!
So many affairs, so many open arrangements, so much horniness. I do believe men have this innate desire to spread their seed all over the motherfucking place, so keeping one contained may not be natural. That said, I do think two people can have a wonderful, monogamous relationship if they truly work at it and are honest about everything. I've seen all different kinds of relationships work and implode. So maybe we're just supposed to be single.
So, tell me, how is your open relationship going?

I LOVE Keri Russell since she was Felicity on the WB. That was my all time favorite show. I miss her being with Noel and Ben. Awww...
Relationships with partners who allow you to share adventures TOGETHER can be fun. ;)

Pretty well, I guess. How about yours?

All of them are going great, actually.

I used to be in a three-way relationship. Then one of my two lovers mysteriously died suddenly.

hmm...open or not, relationships require work.
single--yep....life is easier that way but do you really learn about who you are that way?

I've never 'technically' been in an open relationship. They were only open inasmuch as one of us cheated.
I HAVE however, been involved in threeway dating- where I was the third. That didn't work out so well either. I was sexually connected to one of them, mentally connected to the other.
The irony was that my mental connection was with the one with the huge dick.

Was that third paragraph there yesterday?
Anyway, if you're having a wonderful monogamous relationship, what's there to be honest about?
I'm sure these monogamous relationships exist somewhere, but I suspect that most of them are more don't-ask-don't-tell relationships. Or relationships where the two guys are perfectly matched. And live where there's no temptation: say a small house surrounded by fifty miles of impenetrable jungle, where there are no other men. Or livestock.

I've seen all kinds of relationships implode as well. I just don't think there are any right answers except for those couples work our for themselves. As for myself we're together 10 years...some of them rocky, some smooth, but the only things that have made it last are honesty, communication and an understanding that we're men and occaisionally it's hot to see other men close-up and naked. It's just sex and I am confident that I built my life with the right person.

My open relationship has closed until further notice.

My experience through the decades (groan) has been that the more honesty, the more chance of relationship success. It's a lot of work, but oh, so worth it.

What relationship?
Posted by: homer at May 25, 2007 04:49 PM
I've learned there are so many other things to fret about than the sex thing. Men are simply sexual creatures, some more so than others. When you work at it, monogamy can be very rewarding. But there are no guarantees, and at the end of the day it's less about honesty and more about respect. I certainly place much more value in the latter than the former. I also believe that one springs from the other. If it doesn't, it ain't right.
