Have you been in an open relationship before?

I know it's not for everyone, and so many people look down on it, but I prefer open relationships.

I have not been in one before. I would like to have one some time in my life, however not with my current relationship. If this one ever ends then one would be great!

I haven't ever been in one. I honestly don't think that I would ever be comfortable with it. My fiance and I have friends who are in an open relationship so we have discussed our feelings about and agree that it isn't for us. However, in our friend's situation it works and makes sense.

No. In my eyes an open relationship is the same as being fuck buddies with someone

I've been in an open relationship one time, don't think I would do it again.

I'm in an open relationship now, though granted that is primarily due to the distance. Having an open relationship helps me feel much more comfortable with my relationship. I know that doesn't make sense to a lot of people, but it's what works for me.

I don't share. I don't play THAT well with others.

This.

I've had a few successful open relationships, that ended up being my best relationships because of how much communication they require.

I'm polyamorous, my relationship is somewhat open but still has distinct limits. My partners can do anything they like consensually with me or with each other, and we can all kiss, flirt with, and fool around with other people to a degree, but if we want to have sex with folks outside the triad that has to be discussed first.

I've been in both monogamous relationships and open relationships and personally I prefer open. I think monogamy is one of those things that works for some people but not for others.
