During the first year of my marriage, I had sex with seven other women, but it wasn't cheating because we had an open marriage and my wife knew about everything I did. She had sex with two other guys during that same time. Our marriage lasted 34 years.
I get and agree with your point of view on open relationships. I was just saying that "open relationships" are not what the mainstream culture can accept and therefore may not be a viable solution to the OP. Now I will disclose I am of the Christian faith, meaning open relationships are probably not for me personally, but if it works for others then they have the right and free will to make that decision provided that they aren't violating another's free will in the process.
OK. And I totally agree with you that it should be something both parts involved are willing to do, no pressure, just something decided together and to make both happy. And it isn't for everybody, of course. I agree.
The only other factor I can think of besides a guy knowing a child was theirs, would be STD/STI transmission risk in non-monogamy relationships, like open relationships. You are giving a lot of trust to those in say a closed-group-multiple-partner relationships, that everyone is telling the truth about their medical history and current state of sexual health. Also, I don't know how much of the public at large knows how long to wait for accurate test results, for either false negative or false positive results or a slew of pathogen infections.
^^^^^ It is even more complicated than that, because there are false negatives, and also, because between being tested and getting results, how can one really be sure one didn't get infected? And it's the same about one getting a STD too close to the day of a test for it to be detected. It's like watching the stars: one's always looking at the past, never at the present. One can use preventive protection, but condoms don't protect against everything.
Technically, yes, but close enough. I'll take the liberty to redefine "present" to include people in the same room. Even on the same planet. I know it's pushy, but bear with me.
You get exactly what I'm saying. And this is why that lifestyle is not for me, but I am not opposed to it outright as a concept in of itself, like some people are.
It all depends on what you are obsessed with - the size (length) of your penis or the thickness of it or both ?
My gal would come home after girls night. Lots of times the talk would be about sex, after a few drinks. Most of the talk would be about bigger men. A couple of the women were married, having affairs behind their husband,s back. She said she thought one always wanted to outdo the others.
I've been told by a few women that for them a lot of the time it's more how turned on they are and how the guy acts rather than just their size. If a woman isn't turned on and not in the right mood it doesn't matter how big you are the sex won't be good.
Gf has been with 5 guys and says mine's the biggest she has seen. It's not too long (a bit over 7 inches), but much thicker than the average. Most women seem to love the girth rather than the length. I haven't always even been able to push myself balls deep anyway; when I first fucked my gf, at least one inch of it wouldn't fit into her because she hadn't had sex in a while. Took a week for her vag to "adjust" until I could push myself all the way in.
Lol I wonder which jackass disliked my post, I said nothing that should provoke such a reaction. Except if you are upset that you have a smaller dick, I guess. If I were to lie about my size, I'd claim a lot more than a rather average 7 inches.
Actually, the "average" penis size is much smaller than a lot of people assume. Seven inches is definitely within the larger bracket compared to the "average". Average, believe it or not, is anywhere from about 4.5 inches to 6.5 inches. As for the possible reasons why you might have gotten those dislikes on your posts... I can't tell you why exactly. However, I didn't particularly find those posts to be pleasant to read either. It's more to do with the actual wording than the content in my case, though. The tricky thing about the internet is that the way you come across to others is dictated by how you word everything. Just a thought...
I don't care if someone can't handle reading a description of another person actually getting laid, my point is that all it shows is your insecurity, most likely about penis size in this case. Sound just as condescending as I'd expect from someone called "Alternative Thinker"... another tricky thing about the internet.
Look who's being insecure about the size issue now... lol I merely pointed out about the wording aspect of your posts. Sure, I also added that bit about the average penis size because this is a thread about penis size. But the point is, you came off like you were bragging even though that probably wasn't your intention. And when someone disliked your post(wasn't me, in case you're wondering), you called them "jackass". Correct me if I'm wrong here, but don't you think that's a little rude? Sorry if you find me condescending, but I said what I said because I saw you could have worded things a little better in my opinion. I'd hoped you would see my point, but instead I only made you defensive. Too bad you don't care about these things. You should though, you know? I mean, a lot of people talk about their own experience getting laid and stuff on here, so that's nothing new. My point wasn't about that. It was about how you worded things. Like I said, maybe you didn't intend to come across the way you did. In which case, you're only doing yourself harm by not caring about how you word things on the internet. I mean, some people DID dislike your posts after all, didn't they? AND you reacted by making an issue of it and calling them "jackass" which got you another dislike, right? Now, am I making an unfair suggestion here? Think about it.
