5 reasons you should have an open relationship

Monogamy is not for everyone and we all know someone who has been unfaithful or cheated on.

So why are we shying away from open relationships?

And why is monogamy deemed as the norm?

Here’s five reasons why some people are better off in open relationships.

1. They’re honest

Couples in open relationships have a much more honest commitment.

From being given an occasional pass, to a fling that lasted for a few months, there are no secrets.

2. You’ve cheated on every person you’ve ever dated

Monogamy is not in your vocab and that’s fine.

The sooner you understand that, the better your relationships will become.

If the thought of committing to one person doesn’t make sense to you, why do you keep trying to go against your nature?

3. You’ve never spent longer than three months in a relationship

You’re a commitaphobe and aren’t used to the rules society has placed on relationships.

You find yourself accidentally flirting on a night out or even online and you don’t like the fact that you can’t share your time sexually or romantically with a few other people.

As long as you’re honest with everyone, why wouldn’t you opt for an open relationship?

4. They can be healthy

How can having sex with multiple people be healthy? Simple.

By being honest about your sexual activities and always practising safe sex.

Affairs are less safe sexually and mentally.

5. You can create your own boundaries

The best bit about open relationships is that you both decide on what is allowed and what isn’t.

You’re the rule-maker of your relationship status and rules.

Whether you want to go to a swingers party occasionally or if he wants to have sex outside of the relationship once a year, you can discuss and agree on all this in advance.
