I'd think anyone who's up for sharing completely either way is either supremely confident in their connection, sure that things will alway return to the same starting place with their partner and they want as much enjoyment as can be mustered from life, or they just don't much care. pretty awesome (although I'd expect quite rare) for the first option. and probably exceptionally sad for the second case.

@stound Agreed, it's so tricky! I do kind of admire that willingness to experiment and be completely open and not be upset about it but the relationship does have to be so solid which I think is increasingly rare.
@girlofparadise a level of commitment that I'm not sure I've ever seen. Or maybe some people just fine the one and that's all they could ever want. I'm Not sure.

An open or "swinging" lifestyle has the sharing going in both directions. It can make a strong, healthy relationship even better, but will break apart one that is already on shaky grounds. Although seemingly counter-intuitive, the most successful ones operate within a framework of mutually agreed upon rules and expectations.
Just my 2 cents.

@SaltnLime Your two cents are far more valuable than you will ever know. Thank you.

It is about seeing your partner experiencing pleasure without the worries that you are going to lose your partner, but there is a connection and bond from that. We both love seeing each other with another person, it has always brought us closer together.

I don't like the concept of owning a woman though the system and tradition allows for a woman to be a wife. I can't share something I don't own. So I prefer the open relationship way as we don't own each other and free to mingle and swing.. where my partner has the right to evaluate and make her decision rather than being imposed or forced.

Sharing is caring.

As a poly person, my gf has another bf. I don't watch or participate in their stuff. I don't want to. It's not really a kink for me. Rather I've divorced the concept of loving someone from the condition of possessing them.
