    Not perverted, just different.

    I dunno, I'm not really getting the "better" theme. The way I read it most post are stating why an open relationship wouldn't suit them, why the reasons given for having an open relationship in the OP would damage a relationship they were in or what would or wouldn't work given their own specific current relationship...rather than making a judgement on everyone and all open relationships.

    Most of them, yes, but as I said in my first post on this thread, there are a few judgmental ones too.

    My reply to Liberal Irishman was based on the assumption that he was implying it was better to have it done in front of you. If he meant it was solely his preference, than I took him up wrong
