I'd say most couples would find that they didnt, cause that wasn't how the relationship started out but if all parties entered knowing that was what was going to happen, can't see why not. Obviously there'll be some that don't but there's some "normal" relationships that don't....lots in fact

Yeah I think it varies from couple to couple, I have a friend who has a very open relationship with his girlf and whenever he's with anorther girl he tells her. He even had another girlfriend while he was away.

I think they can only really work if both people are completely comfortable with it. Jealousy also plays a big part in it, Jealousy is the enemy of open relationships.
