ORIGINAL: LATEXBABY64 I see Married People on here dom subs dommes a lot of open marraiges. for me It just means drama in waiting. How do you feel about people who are lin the lifestyle who want to play out side of marraige and is it kinda of a lie to what they have shrugs Ok. All of the way back to the OP. Post one, act one, scene one. How do I feel about people who want to play outside of marriage? (I'm assuming that is the first actual question.) Well, first I'd ask to have the question clarified. The word 'play' is what I'm having difficulty in defining as you asked it the original. Are you talking about sex, bondage, or any other of a myraid of activities that two (or more) people can engage in? For any and all of the above, I can tell you that personally, the answer for that completly depends on how much openness and honesty they have about it. Personally, I'm a fan of disclosure. I see nothing wrong with the two people involved in a relationship agreeing that activities with others are sanctioned and acceptable. If two people in a healthy relationship can come to the conclusion that they can involve other people in their lives, I have absolutely no issue with it. Now, on the other hand, if your talking about, for example, one spouse sneaking around and doing things without the other spouse's knowledge, sorry, but I'm against that. Is it kind of a lie to what they have? No. See, what they have might be a beautiful, wonderful thing between two people, but it may not be everything. It would be like you asking Me if My husband means less to Me because I have a submissive. For the record, let Me say that it doesn't. Each of them has a role in My life. They are not interchangable. My husband fills My need for an equal partner. My submissive fills those needs for My BDSM related activities. As much as he loves Me, My husband is not a sub. As much as My boy is owned, he could not love Me as an equal partner. Each of them has a firm place in My life that the other could not fulfill. When it comes to My marriage vow of "forsaking all others", how do you know that, for Me, it doesn't mean that only My husband will ever have that particular place in My life? For that matter, how do you know that the words I said the night I collared My submissive mean any less to affirm his place with Me? It's completely understandable that those folks who are strictly monogomous don't understand those of us who are poly. Very much the same as the vanilla folks don't understand those of us who are into kink. Each person has to decide what's right for them. Thankfully, most of us have that choice. I came to the conclusion a long time ago that I should decide what's right for Me and Mine, just as you should decide what's right for you. Oh, and I caught that last bit about swinging. I can promise you in My case that it's nothing of the sort. Many of us who are poly don't just jump into a sexual relationship with whomever comes along. We're actually rather committed to the partners We establish ourselves with.
