Never had an open relationship. I did it the old fashioned way. I cheated and lied about it. We did try it together once with another guy. It freaked him out. It wasn't the sex. It was the affection I showed to the other person afterwards. That's what hurt him.
I'd be curious to hear from others who've done it and how it worked out.

I did a relationship that was open.
We had been dating for maybe four or five months, at one party we both thought a guy was cute and had a threesome. We liked it and and there ended up being a few more threesomes/playing with another couple over the course of the relationship. For us, it never caused any real issues, we were both comfortable with it.
It ended, but for unrelated reasons.

Why "normalize"? Why do people not only feel entitled to do whatever they want, but to demand other people's approval for doing whatever they want? Massive entitlement? Hidden guilt feelings they're trying to externalize?
And it's not like I disapprove of open relationships, at least not up until the moment I unexpectedly find I'm in one. I neither approve nor disapprove of things that are none of my business, because they are none of my business.

r12, I believe it has something to do with being obsessed with validation. Giving, receiving, denying, etc. We constantly look at others to validate us and we feel the need to give validation to others (or make them aware that we refuse to give it to them and judge them instead for something) without being asked to do so most of the time.

R7 I'm in an open relationship, for several years now. Though I sometimes append that its like a door a little ajar, not blown out. And same: rare threesome, I was more adventurous at first but I'm settling into just liking the opportunity (though probably get me into a gym for a few months and a little less stress in my life, and that may change), and he was less adventurous at first but now has semi-regular lays (though half the time when he intends on something, they end up just chatting, and I'm not starved for attention).
The worst consequence I can imagine of our agreement is that it might have postponed more serious discussion of marriage by years - but I can attribute that to several factors of our lives and our relationship, with this openness maybe not even making the top 3. Otherwise we're very happy and comfortable.
R12 Normalization isn't the same as approval, though more approval can come as consequence. Normalization is also something that reduces negative judgement and subsequent aggressive action. Normalization of gay relationships isn't necessarily approval in particular, but it is somewhere an increase of it and a decrease of harm towards gay people. Or the other way around - normalization of, say, a fashion trend means that more are doing or are okay with it, but there's less fashion pushers trying to make it 'the thing'.
Normalizing open relationships, at least to me, just means less scornful looks and responses when one mentions they're in one (and not even being pushy; just acknowledging it in relevant context instead of keeping silent). He's not *promoting* it for *you*. That's different.
I've been in monogamy and polyamory (not really polygamy, as I've never 'attached' to more than one) and the latter has worked better for me in this relationship. But somehow that's bad. No, I'm not going to dictate to you that your relationship is necessarily horrible because you're two people stuck together, but I hope that my - in my opinion - good and healthy condition is not a horrible relationship where we just sleep around and don't care about each other.

I don't see the point in having a relationship at all if it is going to be open. The whole point of a relationship is that you share a deep feeling of love for each other. It is a special kind of love and different than what you feel for anyone else. Physical/sexual attraction is a component but you are also attracted to their mind and soul and respect them as a human being. If you can love somebody else the exact same way then you don't have that kind of love for your partner at all. In which case you shouldn't be in a relationship at all, but instead just be "fuck buddies."
I think open relationships are for sluts (male and female) who can't stay committed to one person and would rather just fuck everything they can instead. Call me an old fashioned prude all you want, but I don't like the new 2018 definition of a relationship and I don't approve.

Why would a working guy with kids and a busy schedule need an open relationship? If a married couple is fucking at least every other day that and a few porno jackoffs should be enough. How many times a week does horny ol Ricky need to cum?

R70 The "pass around boy" thing is the Menudo scandal, which is so wild that it probably could have its own thread, but there's too many gringos here for it to stay up for long.
**The Menudo scandal goes back to 1990 when those members at the time were caught with weed and the members said friends of management gave it to them.
**There was a rumor where one of the member's brothers walked in on a menudo member and a staff member lying in bed; in some tellings it's Ricky and in others it's Ray Reyes. There was another rumor that one of the members wet a hotel bed in his sleep.
**In 1991 some Menudo members went on Cristina's show (some call her Latina Oprah) and alleged the manager Edgardo Diaz and other men abused them.
**In 1991 the menudo photographer Bolivar Arellano claimed the boys were plied with drugs and alcohol and sexually abused.
** At some point Diaz admitted that many boys came out of Menudo with worse problems than they had coming in (since many members were lower class), but said he wasn't the one that did it.
**In 1999 a tabloid claimed Jose Menendez tried to molest 13/14 year old Ricky Martin while driving him to Disneyland via pulling off the side of the road and trying to stick his hand down his pants (Note: this was at the height of Ricky's fame and Menendez murder was still fresh in peoples minds, and also the other members say hotels and the mansion in Orlando is where their abuse happened, and they would've taken the Menudo plane and bus at this point of their fame). I've also noticed rightwing conspiracy theorists have been using this lately while not being aware of the actual accusations and CDAN tried making a blind item out of this by connecting it with Corey Feldman.
**Angelo Garcia came out in 2015 to say somebody sexually abused him while in Menudo.
**Roy Rossello said in 2014 he was also sexually abused and described an alleged incident where he was summoned to Edgardo Diaz's room and Ricky was there dressed in women's clothes. He claimed he got Robi Rosa and Robi hit the manager. (Note: Ricky and Robi are 2 of maybe 4 members who have a career that causes them to have some relevancy today, and Roy was going through financial trouble at this time).
**In 2014 Rene Farrait said Diaz and others "know what happened". He claimed he mentioned things in interviews while in the group and it was cut out when they aired it. He claimed he wasn't aware of the thing Roy said because he left the group by that point, but said there were "other things" that occurred during his time.
And of course members who still have some career (Ricky, Xavier, Johnny, and Robi) say they had different experiences or don't comment on it at all. That's just so they don't completely minimize or deny what happened to others while still trying to deny that it happened to them.

This study showed men with paraphilias (kinks or fetishes) were "statistically significantly more likely to self-report a higher incidence of physical (but not sexual) abuse,"

Remember when Ricky admitted to being fine at the idea of being a homewrecker during his (presumably) early 20s?
[quote]After we broke up I spent a couple years acting like the typical alpha male, a total ladies’ man. I was young and famous, I was an artist, and I made it my business to go out with every woman who crossed my path. It didn’t matter if she was single, married, widowed, or divorced.
[quote]The fact that she married—although at the time she was separated—was of course a source of constant pain for me, but I think it was also part of what attracted me so much. Forbidden attraction makes things more exciting. And she was both dangerous and a forbidden woman, which made the whole thing even more irresistible. But despite how much I loved her—and maybe because of it—she broke my heart. One day when she picked up the phone and heard my voice, she said, “Oh Gabriel, I have a headache right now; I’ll call you when I wake up.” This response was like a bucket of ice thrown in my face. Pretending I was Gabriel, her assistant, meant that she was sleeping where she supposed to be sleeping—with her husband.

I think there was a book called "Open Marriage" for straights back in the 70s. My father had it and he and his second wife were into it. They tried it with their best friends. It was a disaster and ended the friendship.

R98 like anything in life, we tend to hear from the people who are successful at whatever they were trying. So we hear the hot stories of threesomes, we hear the successful stories of throuples. We don't often hear from the awkward uncomfortable threesomes or the disastrous poly relationships

R74 I wouldn't say that general sentiment isn't not a part of things, but it hasn't been a competition in most ways at most times. But for us, we still put each other at prime and other guys are more for sexual fun or friendly connection. I've been in crushes with others and he's felt kinda nuts over others (ROCD - look it up) , but we both stick with each other. And we don't fight about this stuff.

Context is everything. I can see having a RARE 3-way while on vacation if you've been together for a long time, and the relationship is on solid ground. One of those "What happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" kind of things. However, if you want to open up the relationship within a year of being together, then you're not ready for a committed relationship. It's probably better for you to stay single until you've had your fill of men, which usually hits by the time you reach 40.

It depends on the couple and the type of relationship they have. For some an open relationship or marriage is acceptable. For others infidelity is a betrayal and becomes the death blow.

Martin didn't come out until 2010. After he had had kids (2008). Then the relationship with Carlos González Abella and the publicity twirl - oh what a great family we are going to be and poof that dude was gone and now onto this glamour queen hunk.... Does the ex have anything to do with the kids? Will Jwan - when they split. Jwan strikes me a social climber who is going to move on to billionaire daddy at some point. Martin has never lived normal so maybe he should live his life the way he wants, the best he can, and it will be giving an example of something happy and successful if he, his kids, and his partners speak well of it 15 or 20 years from now.

Ricky said Carlos didn't want to date a single father so he was probably one of those people who just "babysits".

Evolved men prefer sexual exclusivity. Data from a large, representative American sample shows that more intelligent boys are more likely to grow up to value sexual exclusivity in early adulthood than less intelligent boys.

The ongoing theme of boy bands, is the boys are chosen based on how fucked up their lives were at home. Missing fathers, abusive homes, poverty. Every one of the boy band creators are pedophiles. That’s how they work. It’s how children are scooped up for prostitution as well. Here’s these great guys who will take care of you.
There’s no doubt in my mind that children like Ricky were: beaten, overworked, drugged, given alcohol, threatened, beaten and told to bend over. They went from poverty issues to child rapes. There’s nothing sexy about any of that. They’ve had cruel lives at the expense of others, and they’re fucked up. History repeats itself.

I believe Menudo is the boybad with the most cases where boyband members were replaced during the boyband's existence. They were practically glorified prostitutes who were promoting themselves as music stars and then got pimped out to rich men behind the scenes by the managers and were practically slaves who had to either record songs, do promotion gigs, go on tour, or have sex with clients.

Speaking of Menudo, this is rather bizarre: Menudo singing the Spanish version of the Village People's Can't Stop the Music. When it gets to the chorus it could just as easily be little girls. Their voices hadn't changed yet.

You were kicked out of Menudo before the age of 16 if your voice deepened too much, got too much facial hair, or got too tall.
So yes, the men in charge seemed to be pedophiles in the most literal sense.

That's true. Views on relationships can be cultural. It's not uncommon for a gay latino man to find ass elsewhere, whether the partner is okay with it or not. On the down low married men are even a staple of lgbt latino culture.
