I think you are risking spreading diseases and what if one person starts to fall for someone else. It can easily happen. I'm sure these people figure the other person will cheat anyway so lets do it together. It still can put the marriage at risk.

I dont think I could ,i mean it does seem like fun but only when you ar able to get your way with many women but how would you feel when your woman has expereinces with other men and then you have to lie with her .I dont think that I would be able to do endure that.And what about diseases,how do you gaurd against that.

Oh no I wouldn't want to consider having an open marriage.I married because I only wanted to be with one man.I wouldn't want to share my husband with anyone else. My first husband cheated and it broke up two marriages, mine and the other womans and she even had children. I can not imagine how devastated her children felt when their parents broke up because of their cheating mother and my now ex-husband.

I guess i don't see why you got married if you wanted to have an open marriage. i do know a few couple whom have another couple that they share in there relationship with. the four of them are comitted to each other. but i not sure i would call this an open set up.

NEVER. I think that an open marriage is a poor excuse for being able to sleep around. I think that if you aren't completely satisfied with your spouse, then you should not be married. A marriage is a commitment, you can't be committed if you are sleeping around.

No way! I think open marriage is an excuse for people who are not happy in their marriage to mess with other people. Something is seriously wrong with a marriage if that must occur, why be married, why not just be friends with benifits who can be with who ever they like and still have each other when you want to be. In my opinion an open marriage is not a marriage, you vow to be faithful in your wedding vows and having an open marriage violates that. Besides I could not bear to share my guy with anyone else, and he could not bare to share me.

No. It's funny that biologically us women are supposed to want to have multiple partners, but I'm quite happy with my one. I would never consider an open marriage with anyone. Among the emotional issues it would cause, there's the issue of diseases. Besides, why bother getting married if you're then going to make it open? Tax benefits? I'm not saying it's wrong for everyone, but definitely for me, and probably for almost everyone else, or our society would be structured waaaay differently.

Nope. Next question! No i'm kidding... The answer is no. But my reasoning for this is like... Why bother being married? Just be single. It's the same thing. No reason to be married if you're gonna DO someone else. Know what i mean?
