Homer Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Quote When a couple gets married, they usually take that big leap when they are absolutely sure of their compatibility with each other. But what happens when the honeymoon period is over - or for various reasons there never was one because one person’s sexual needs are vastly different to their partner’s? One woman has admitted that things have gotten so bad in her bedroom that her husband has suggested they have an open marriage rather than end it - but not for the reason you would expect.

Yoruka Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Well, that's an unusually and yet comforting way that I now know is an option in life. Didn't know it was so common. Link to post Share on other sites

To be fair, I don't think a handful of online anecdotes means that it's necessarily "common" I think the majority of people that you try to propose an "open relationship" to (on the basis that you're not getting enough sex from them) will just kick you to the curb in response.

uhtred Posted January 17, 2020 Share Posted January 17, 2020 Much as it seems like a good idea, it often fails badly for mixed sexual / asexual couples. For many sexuals, sex and love are too tightly tied together and they end up falling for their seuxal partners. When it does work, its a good solution Link to post Share on other sites

For many sexuals, sex and love are too tightly tied together and they end up falling for their seuxal partners. This is why I was never comfortable with the idea of being in an "open" relationship. If someone needs sex so much to be happy in life, then I think they're just much better off with someone else who wants it. That being said though, I don't tell others how to live their lives. If such a thing is working out for you, then good on you. Link to post Share on other sites
