Are there a lot of hippies out there nowadays who still practices free love/open relationships and says no to marriage?
I think you'll find most of the participants are married at least once, some multiple times, in this forum. As far as open marriages you'll find they are plenty of arrangements here as well. There's lots of experiences that are shared about some form of extramarital sex. Lots of thoughts and insights regarding sexual activities outside of the marital bed. Peruse the threads and see what you will find. Contribute to your liking. I think you will find us pretty open about sex and sexual activities.
I was 18 y.o. in 1969, so I often wonder the same thing. I know now there is more fear of std, one other thing would be if the sex was open as it was then. I'm sure some one would have their phone out taking pictures. I know the picture, part if true as I have had friends younger than me show pic on their phone, of girls at parties.
My wife and I are of the hippie generation. Fast forward to now. We are a rock solid couple and are surrounded by mature swingers and swappers. Most have strong marriages. They do have their small private groups. They play at different levels of sexual behavior. It is not always about group orgies. Safe sex is always discussed and the women set the rules. Socializing is a big part of the hippie’s that swap today.
