Sexual Interest & Number of Partners

[SammiB]

I find I can have romantic feelings for just one person, but sexually I am always attracted to many people. I have an open relationship which I have been criticized for. I've been told its not mature or responsible behaviour, but I don't see the problem in having many sexual partners if everyone is honest. Do you agree or disagree?

[Taryn98]

Since I enjoy being free to do as I please with who I please, I just choose not to be in a relationship. But as long as you're honest with each other, you should do what pleases you and who cares what others think.

[SammiB]

Thanks Taryn!

I agree. What makes cheating "cheating" is that your partner doesn't know what you do and agree that it's OK. If everyone knows what's up, it's fine.

Multiple partners will usually get you a bad reputation but being sexually attracted to more than one person is pretty normal l think.

[Emilyyy]

Not something I would get involved in but if everyone is honest with each other then anything goes really. It's when people lie and hide things that stuff becomes not OK

I hate that bad reputation thing. Especially since it applies more to girls than guys.

I would DISAGREE.

Being sexually attracted to many people is ok, but I'd never condone my partner to act on their desires nor would I do it myself. It doesn't matter if I know or not. There's this thing called self-control and tbh I know a lot of people who should use more of it. Intimacy is exclusive to one person, something you shouldn't toss around carelessly. If you feel otherwise that's no big deal, it doesn't affect me, I just don't agree.

[DerpyGirl]

I agree with Amethyst Rose. That's how I see it, but to each their own. What's right for one person might not be right for another. Anyone who judges you for it isn't a true friend.

Those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind

if I'm in a relationship with someone , I wouldn't expect to be busy with anyone else , neither should they , I'd be perfectly happy having a sexual relationship with them only if they're comfortable with it .

[Just JT]

I see nothing wrong with it. But you need to play by some rules to
Be honest, everyone involved knows, and always always always practice safe sex.
Spreading stuff around that way is nasty

Just be safe and happy, ignore people's opinions of you, live your life.

But once in a committed relationship, everyone else goes.....

since I have lot friend, I try to limit my sexual partner because I dont want they say something bad about me. Sometimes people can't keep the secret behind.

[michaelbrownvm]

Sex is actually more than just an act, rather; it is an art of consensual expression of human particular feelings. More than one partners will normaly get you a bad reputation

[Zachary G]

It takes strong people to be in an open relationship, there is a lot of trust and honesty that goes along with that, but know that everything is not for everybody, so if it works for you and your partner then have at it. I can understand what you are saying and have had the same feelings, so you arent alone in that.

[JakeyZ]

I think most people have this, but if you're in a romantic relationship you have to keep it under control unless your partner and you say otherwise

[geanyna]

i try to be monogamous in a relationship. doesnt always work but at least im ALWAYS honest about how i feel and what ive done. but now im single and enjoying :)

[mkellam54]

If everyone knows about it and is honest, and you and your partner are okay with it, then there is nothing wrong with it. Just so long as you aren't lying to them and going behind their back. There isn't anything wrong with having multiple sexual partners in a relationship, it's all up to the people who are actually dating to decide whether they are okay with having multiple sexual partners

[ShineintheDark]

As long as both you and your partner agree to it and are ok with it as well as being safe, no one can judge your sexual habits

[Dmaxd123]

as long as you are both playing by the same set of "rules" have fun.

just because society has made up some random things that it deems "normal" doesn't mean that social norms are necessarily right or wrong
