Open relationship anyone?

By Miss Kes 

Modern ideologies on intimate relationships suggest experimenting as an option, and for some people this includes dabbling in some fun with other people.

We asked, would an open relationship be up your alley?

Ashley:

That’s filthy! I couldn’t do it, I’m sorry. I prefer the traditional way of having and maintaining intimate relationships. That is exactly why relationships are failing because we think too much about “fun”

CJH:

I like to have fun and yes, occasionally my husband and I do things other couples probably wouldn’t, but it is our way of keeping the fire burning. I could say my husband and I have an open marriage and it works for us. We are very open about our fantasies and we are not judgmental about what each of us desires.

Tamisha:

I think we live in a crazy world and anything the celebrities do, we follow right behind them like mindless idiots. It is nasty and depletes what a relationship should be. If that is your option to spice it up, leave that relationship because obviously there is no chemistry.

CD:

I am an open type of woman, so anything floats my boat. I am 24 years old and I love both sexes. I really don’t mind keeping it open because I am into women as well.

Amanda:

If you have to open your relationship, end it. It really makes no sense because for the person to really enjoy being with you, they have to be with others. Ladies, where exactly is your self-worth?
