Good Day my good friends of M2, my last forum was a mega hit, so its only right to follow thru with another cup of my hot tea of topics. I really got a chance to hear your responses on my last topic, I feel so close to you guys & gals. Well, let me ask you this? Have you ever been to a couples retreat or its a brisk Friday night on the town with your other coupled friends. You at a restaurant, a bar, even a club, or a sports lounge among friends a subject of dating or relationship or even marriage comes up. you know the scene, a game of truth or dare or a magazine quiz on how much compatible with your mate by a score. What about its a Saturday night movie night and you cuddled up , you feel great, its the weekend, you have your loved one next to you, the ambient scene is very cozy & romantic, you got the candles lit, a box of pizza, some red wine, and shivery. The subject comes up about " Open Relationships & swinging parties or good old fashion faithfulness" rares its hilarious head among your circle of friends. So let's talk about it for a second, when you see for an example , Will Smith & Jada Pinkett-Smith open marriage, do you think that's acceptable? Is this the new way in this millennium the "The New Age Love". to share your mate to produce happier love? Do you accept "Swinging Parties"? Have you engaged in a threesome to spice up your sex life? Are you a supporter of having affairs? Or are you for monogamy, being faithful , not feeling though you need an extra life to keep your relationship healthy & fresh? You hear cases of some couples using infidelity or my favorite saying that Tiger Woods said in a interview " I have a sex addiction that's why I cheated in Elan". Look at bringing in another person to your union some believe its nothing wrong with it, hey its our life & mind your own matters". Others may say "I cheated with another lover because either I'm not happy or I am happy but its the thrill of having something to lose." Then there team faithful, most people really don
t want to share there mates, give in to a risky thrill. Its diseases out here, its jealous folks that may do harm to keep there mate faithful to them. Maybe its, the fact its just complicate things by engaging into forbidden fruit. So, I want to hear from you , the people of M2, My "Opinion Minions" , The naysayers, the right * left wingers, the world. Tell me how you feel about this? Which part in the two faced mask do you represent? Are for open relationships or are you against it. Okay, lets have some fun with this Spill it ....I can't wait to hear from you all.

again I do respond to all of my good people.

Come Again, we 'll talk soon!

What ever floats their boat as long as they don't expect me to sail with them

Myself I don't share at all when it comes to another person. If that is what they are seeking they might as well move on~~~

If others want to that is their deal not for me

Hell most cannot handle one person much less more then one...

When I'm with someone I am only into them and I expect the same from them, that they're only into them.

Wait a minute that's not right.

make that 3 straight.

i'll take monogamy any day

When it comes to relationship
I won't share my man
I am devoted to him alone. I don't look at others

If he does a dirty. Its war! All guns out.

Temptation isn't always black and white. There's always reasons why it happens in the first place. I'm no-one to judge anyone by how they choose to spend their time. We all have our dark side.

I wouldn't want my daughter a part of it.


If people actually knew how love was "produced" they'd realize it's not really possible to produce love this way, only ego.


I think they're mostly a joke of civilization.
I went to a swingers club in Phoenix once.
It was disgusting. Funny. But disgusting.


Not on purpose and never to "spice up" a sex life.


Maybe.
Does it lead to change that is ultimately more healthy?
I mean I have seen situations where someone has gotten so miserable in their relationship they snapped and hurt their spouse and nearly committed suicide.
Where if they'd just "cheated" (defined as just sleeping with someone else), they would have sabotaged the relationship and both had been able to move on.


I'm for the natural organic development of love and monogamy.
Not pursuing it like a religion or due to idealizing it over some other "system."


Some people simply aren't capable of monogamy.
And I think it's mostly socially trained and due to sublimating fear with hedonism.
It's sad.

to TxGal3333,


I quote you " what ever floats there boat , you don't have to swim in it...." I like that.....that's a good way of not having to choose sides...lol

To NorCalswe,

Now that's how I see it too. I 'm loyal, I'm faithful, I don't like the look of hurt on a woman. god made me to be the best thing in a woman's life since sliced bread....lol

To Eric22t,

good for you....gold star! me too. I don't judge but I am glad I'm not too new aged. I still have some old school values.

to Annieroorooo,

good to hear your faithful to your mate. not everybody with the whole more than a few lovers thinking. I admire that about you.
keep voicing

Agreed 100% ! xx

Friendly_Woman

you right its never about a black and white area , I think its now about a multiple color areas. do I support swinging , affairs , or open relationship, no. do I critized it? no. will I ever support it. no/ can people that's into it can change? yes. so I support your view. gold star for you.

Others can do what they want, as long as they are consenting adults. I only do one on one

ciretom,

good I won't let my daughter either play a part in that. thank god I don't have a daughter I have two sons and I still wouldn't want them to mistreat women or themselves by those kind of actions

yellowrose,


okay so you don't mind as long as they consenting adults?

Agreed

As long as it doesn't involve me...none of my business

Guess you missed I only do one on one

An open relationship isn't really a relationship to me.

I think monogamy builds trust and security and is essential.
I could not be in a relationship without these, so I am all for monogamy
