Ok, I think of strange situations, but think of this.

Imagien a couple where both partners allow each other to go out and have sex with others. You'd think it'd solve both his and her problems, i.e. she doesn't get all his frustration. But what if he wants to have sex with her and she wants him to go out?

There are relationships like that, I even know (only as an acquaintance) a woman who is in an open relationship. I've never really brought it up with her, but as I understand they have been together for some time now, so it must be workable under some circumstances.

Well maybe she wants to have sex with someone else as well and is trying to get him out of the house so she can go and do her own thing. ;)

Ah, but if they're in an open relationship, then that's ok. :P

I am currently in a relationship like that

It is great … though there are problems

1) unequal amount of partners for both male and female (meaning usually the girl can get as much sex as she can handle just by being willing but not visa versa
2) Other big problem is when one partner finds a semi stable relationship (meaning they find someone to constantly have sex with ) fooling around is ok but it starts to get hard


There are some other things such as standards not being equal and such most of the times (guys get jealous but damn girls get jealous over the little things) but that is some just personality conflicts

Overall cool for the younger couple :) but ya got to have near complete trust

Then why isn't the man happy that he can go out and have sex with other women? :p

Well, maybe he should just do like his woman suggested and have sex with someone else. Do you realize how many guys would love to have that kind of relationship, eh? The dude should be happy.

Dude, WTF?

The man and woman are in an open relationship. She starts sleeping with a guy who likes her, and wants her to be with only him. He wants a closed relationship, but her original agreement was to an open relationship.

Then you need to clarify that you are talking about more then two people, instead of calling them all "the dude".
